Inside Lauren Sanchez And Jeff Bezos Honeymoon And Life Together
When you're the third richest man in the world, however, a few protests are hardly going to get in the way of a party. Bezos and Sánchez's wedding was a spectacle to behold, but it was also the start of their bid to establish themselves as a billionaire power couple.
Despite a hazy origin story – Sánchez, 55, reportedly started dating Bezos, 61, in 2019 after her company, Black Ops Aviation, was hired to film his Blue Origin rocket launches while she was married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell and Bezos was married to Amazon co-founder MacKenzie Scott – the couple has slowly found their footing.

Once their respective divorces were announced, they embarked on a whirlwind romance that saw them yachting and jet-setting around the world and regularly pictured with A-list friends like Katy Perry and Usher, before getting engaged in 2023. Sánchez's relationship with Bezos has taken her to new heights – and we're not just talking about her 11-minute joy ride to space in April.
It made sense, then, for Sánchez to make her debut on the (digital) cover of Vogue the same weekend; another sign of how she plans to develop her personal brand. It was Sánchez's second appearance in the magazine after her joint interview and cowboy-coded photo shoot with Bezos was mercilessly lambasted online in December 2023. This time, she swapped a white tank top for her Sophia Loren-inspired Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown, which took 900 hours of atelier work. Stefano Gabbana claims the brief was 'very classic' and 'elegant' as Sanchez 'didn't want to do something very flashing or bling bling'.
While Bezos and Sánchez have always had friends in high places, it's fair to say their brand as a couple has rarely been touted as 'demure'. Their pre-wedding foam party on Bezos's $500 million (£364m) Koru yacht did little to help the cause. However, from her Vogue cover to a wedding guest list that included Ivanka Trump, Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Kardashians, this is seemingly something Sánchez wants to shift – positioning herself as the First Lady of Big Tech in the process.
Her bridal look was indicative of such. Opting for a high-neckline and minimal make-up, she declared, 'This is part of the evolution. I want it as natural as you can get. […] It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect – but it's very much me.'
The marriage will see Sánchez take on more responsibility at Amazon Towers, particularly in the realm of philanthropy, where she is already vice chairperson of the Bezos Earth Fund. The fund is dedicated to 'fighting climate change and the protection of nature, as well as early childhood education, programming, and housing support', according to its website. The couple also pledged to donate €3m (£2.5m) to three Venetian institutions, including UNESCO's local office, on behalf of their wedding guests.
Not before they honeymoon all summer on Bezos's yacht, though, which is estimated to produce more than 7,000 tons of greenhouse gases every year. The newlyweds reportedly soothed their post-wedding blues by sailing across Italy to the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Sicily, which hosted the second season of The White Lotus. The Royal Suite, where Jennifer Coolidge's character stayed in the hit TV show, costs a cool $18,000 (£13k) per night – a drop in the ocean for a couple now collectively worth more than $237 billion (£173bn).
They will then be returning home to Indian Creek Island in Florida, known as the 'billionaire bunker', where they own three properties worth a total of $173 million (£126m). Bezos's most recent 10-acre purchase is currently under construction to accommodate their blended family. Sánchez has three children – one with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez, age 24, and two with Whitesell, aged 19 and 17 – while Bezos shares four children with Scott. In the affluent enclave, the family rub shoulders with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, billionaire Norman Braman and model Adriana Lima.
Oh, to be the richest couple in the world, where brazen contradictions of character are immaterial and the sky's the limit – literally.

Dua Lipa flaunts her incredibly chiselled abs in slew of skimpy bikinis as she shares new jaw-dropping snaps from yet another sunny holiday
Dua Lipa set pulses racing on Sunday, as she shared a number of jaw-dropping snaps posing up a storm in several tiny bikinis during yet another sunny getaway. The singer, 29, left her followers stunned as she flaunted her incredibly toned figure and chiselled abs in a black string two-piece with a knitted cherry detail. While other striking shots saw her slipping into a minuscule leopard print bikini top that barely contained her ample assets, which she teamed with denim shorts. Dua proudly displayed every inch of her enviable physique, as she enjoyed sunbathing with her pals and tucking into some fresh fruit. The hitmaker also donned a sheer sparkly cover-up over the top of her swimwear in another impromptu photoshoot, and snapped a mirror selfie holding up her T-shirt to flash a racy glimpse of her striped bikini bottoms. Captioning the striking photos, she wrote: 'jusss 'avin a good time' as she soaked up every second of her latest holiday. Her Instagram snaps came just hours after Dua was spotted enjoying a shopping trip in Paris, putting on a leggy display in a daringly short mesh dress. While she continued to rock her giant diamond ring, after finally confirming her engagement to actor Callum Turner last month. In an interview with Vogue, the chart-topper said: 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling.' Though she admitted she never saw herself as the marrying type, explaining: 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be.' While Dua also opened up on her family plans, revealing she's concerned about how having children will fit in with her career as a pop star. She said: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Captioning the striking photos, she wrote: 'jusss 'avin a good time' as she soaked up every second of her latest holiday Earlier this week, Dua shared even more bikini-clad snaps as she packed on the PDA with fiancé Callum, 35, in Italy. The pop star is well-know for her jet set lifestyle and frequent glamorous vacations, with fans often taking to social media to crack jokes about her seemingly non-stop travelling. The Levitating star is well-aware of the joke and previously commented on her jetsetter reputation to British Vogue last month. She insisted to the publication: 'I'm not always on holiday, I just make everything I do feel like a holiday'. After confirming her engagement, fans have recently begun to theorise about the possible locations that Dua and Callum could choose for their honeymoon, quipping there's no where left to travel to, as the couple have already been 'everywhere.' Taking to X, fans have joked that they might take it to the next extreme and head to space or Antartica. They wrote: 'This girl has already traveled all over the world, where are they going for their honeymoon to make it memorable? Mars?' 'Their honeymoon is gonna be three years long', 'For their honeymoon, they will discover Atlantis', 'LMAO right?!? Girl has literally been EVERYWHERE' 'Pre-honeymoon in Mount Everest, main honeymoon on Mars, [and] post-honeymoon in Titanic wreckage'.

Princess Andre uses top UK brand to get her ‘natural and fluffy' lashes
Princess Andre just walked fans through her beauty routine as she got glammed up to celebrate her 18th birthday - and she revealed her 'natural and fluffy lashes' are from this top brand Always one to watch for affordable and glamorous beauty tips, Princess Andre is back at it again as she just shared another must-buy product. Showing off her enviable lashes, Princess revealed to fans what brand she used to get her "natural and fluffy" look. Acting as the crown jewel of her eye makeup ahead of her 18th birthday celebration, Princess showed fans that she'd been using lengthening eyelash clusters from Eylure, a brand touted as the UK's No.1 when it comes to fake lashes. And in case you're wondering how to copy Princess' look, these lashes are not just affordable - they're also on Amazon. Normally retailing for £8 for a pack of 36 clusters, in measurements 8mm, 10mm and 12mm, this multipack is now available on Amazon for the reduced price of £6.60 thanks to this early Prime Day deal. If you prefer to shop elsewhere, you can pick up the same pack from Claire's for £7.50, Boots for £7 or for £8 from Lookfantastic. Promising to deliver a fluffed-up look, these cluster false lashes are reusable up to five times and come with an eighteen-hour hold glue, for even the most dramatic to simple looks that last all day or night. Unlike full false lashes, these fluffy cluster lashes offer the chance to completely customise your lash look. They're versatile in the styles they can create and are perfect for above or under-lash applications. Letting you design a style that's uniquely yours, Princess' loved lashes are perfect for a half lash or adding length to the outer corner, depending on the look you're going for. Touted as super easy to apply and comfortable to wear for long stretches, these lashes are sure to transform your eye makeup with ease. Whether you're heading off to celebrate a grand occasion, going into the office or just running errands, these lash clusters can seamlessly complete any full-face and stick with you all day. Handmade and reusable, every lash pack contains up to five applications and comes with latex-free lash glue, which is guaranteed to last up to eighteen hours and be gentle on your own lashes when it comes to removal. And it's not just Princess who's loving these cult-favourite lashes, as plenty of 5-star reviews pour in. One buyer beams: "I've tried a lot of false lashes over the years, but Eylure has truly earned a permanent spot in my beauty routine. Whether you're going for a natural daytime look or full-on glam, Eylure offers a wide range of styles that cater to every occasion. What I Love: Easy Application: The lashes come with a high-quality adhesive that makes application quick and mess-free—even for beginners; Comfortable Wear: They're lightweight and flexible, so they sit comfortably on the lash line without poking or lifting; Reusable: With proper care, I've been able to reuse a pair up to 5 times, which makes them super cost-effective; Natural Look: Even the more dramatic styles manage to look elegant rather than over-the-top." Further praise comes from this customer who gushes: "Absolute bargain. These are really good quality, great style and easy to apply. The glue is good and sticks quick and doesnt dry up in the tube the second you use it. The lash style is more subtle than some but gives a really flirty / sexy eye look that i find looks good on most." And a third chimes in: "I used the glue that came with the lashes and it lasts all day without irritating my eyes or making them go bloodshot (certain products do that and it's really annoying). They look realistic and subtle, and I've been able to reuse them a few times without them starting to look tacky or fall apart. They're soft, flexible, and not uncomfortable. The only thing I'd change is the packaging because it looks really cheap, but otherwise I really like them."

Jimmy Choo Fever Eau de Parfum, 50ml £51 £22.50 Amazon Buy here Product Description The "seductive" fragrance opens on rich, vivid and juicy notes of sweet plum that has been blended with the freshness of rosy accents of lychee and subtle bitter tones of grapefruit. At the heart is powdered roundness of heliotrope and exotic vanilla orchid that has been contrasted with ultra-feminine jasmine. For a warm base, there is creamy sandalwood, benzoin and roasted almond facets of vanilla tonka bean. Mirroring its main scent, the bottle has been adorned in an intense plum-coloured lacquer, with the light said to dance off its multi-faceted design.
