Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend join Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez for a double date aboard their superyacht

Jeff Bezos and enjoyed an A-list double date on Sunday as they welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti aboard their $485m superyacht, Koru. Leo, 50, and Vittoria, 27, know their way around the ship, having previously joined the couple for a trip last summer in Sardinia. This time, however, the quartet were living it up in Ibiza, Spain. They were casually clad for the day at sea, with Leo wearing a plain white T-shirt and shorts, as well as his trademark baseball cap and shades. Vittoria, meanwhile, opted for a blue strapless top paired with baggy pants. Jeff, 61, and his new wife Lauren, 55, looked in good spirits as they gave Leo and Vittoria a warm welcome. Lauren opted for clashing prints, layering a printed kimono over a bikini, while Jeff matched tropical swimming trunks with a navy T-shirt. The double date comes just weeks after the Amazon founder and presenter tied the knot in Venice - with the ceremony attracting criticism for its extravagance. Leonardo and Vittoria were among the A-list guests which also included Sydney Sweeney, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. However, Leonardo - who is known for his environmental advocacy - was branded a 'hypocrite' for flying to Venice for the ceremony. The actor has previously been open about his activism and a few months earlier in March, he had slammed the Albanese government for giving the green light to a mine expansion in Western Australia. Yet social media users called him out for flying to the wedding and criticized him for supporting Jeff amid Amazon's substantial carbon footprint. According to The Guardian, over 90 jets flew into the airport in the romantic city as celebrities attended the nuptials. Feeling's neutral: Leo opted for a classic summer combo of white T-shirt and gray shorts Jeff's superyacht is named Koru, which translates to 'new beginnings' in Maori, according to The Independent. The Amazon founder initially commissioned the construction of the vessel for $485million in 2018, and it took almost five years to build. It has three decks and is 250ft tall. When commissioned, the yacht was the second-largest sailing yacht in the world.

Tesco shoppers divided over new £3 'sweet sandwich' in meal deal

Some felt like the supermarket had been inspired by M&S to come up with the creation that is quickly going viral online Tesco has shoppers split over the latest item added to the famous meal deal combo - with some branding it as "delicious" and others are wondering who to blame for its creation. Some might find the sandwich a little too sweet compared to other flavours on the menu - but it's certainly fit for a celebration. ‌ A supermarket shopper posted about the item when spotting it in their local Tesco store on Monday, August 4. Sasha Beeney posted a picture to the Extreme Bargains and Couponing UK Facebook page about the dessert-style sandwich, and within an hour, it was flooded with comments. ‌ Costing £3 on its own, the Birthday Cake Sandwich is made up of "sweet brioche-style bread with cream cheese icing and delicious strawberry jam", according to the packaging itself. It can be bundled with a snack and drink as part of the existing meal deal. ‌ The packaging reads: "Get it while you can. Enjoy the sweet brioche-style bread with cream cheese icing and delicious strawberry jam. An all-time favourite treat in an all-time favourite deal." One said: "This one looks really yummy!" Another joked: "When it's your birthday but you have to go to work!" ‌ People were quick to compare this new Tesco treat with 31g of sugar to the viral M&S sandwich filled with strawberries and cream. The Red Diamond Strawberry and Creme sandwich cost £2.80, was released around the same time as Wimbledon in June 2025 and took over the internet. A third Tesco shopper wrote: "At least there are two sandwiches in this one!" Someone else put: "What in the M&S [alternative] is this! Deffo need to try it though!" A fifth said: "Looks delicious!" And, one more shopper shared what others can expect: "Had this and it actually surprises you. It's quite nice - more like a jam sandwich but the cream cheese gives a nice sweet after taste." ‌ Not everyone was convinced though, as someone commented: "This is getting ridiculous now!" and another added: "What are they going to come up with next? I can't think of anything worse!" A third critic commented: "Jeez they will put anything between a couple of slices of bread these days! Just because you can doesn't mean you should!" A Tesco meal deal costs £3.60 with a Clubcard or £4 without a Clubcard. According to Tesco, this price applies to the standard meal deal, which includes a sandwich (now including cake), wrap, pasta, or salad alongside a snack and a drink. The new Birthday Cake Sandwich is marketed as being limited edition - so it won't be around forever. Shoppers who are interested in trying on for themselves should see if any are available in the supermarket's to-go section.

I'm a single mum-of-7 to kids aged 1 to 16 – my ‘no spend' summer holiday days are made so much easier with a £5 B&M buy

A SINGLE mum-of-seven who is aiming to spend no money on some days during the school summer holidays, has revealed the £5 B&M buy that keeps her kids entertained for hours. Amy, who has children aged between one and 16, took to TikTok to share how she is able to keep her kids busy for a whole day without spending any money. 2 2 The single mum revealed that her bumper brood were "fighting like mad" during the morning of her no-spend day, so she got the little ones up and out of the house by half past 8. "We went for a walk for about an hour and a half and left the teenagers in bed", she said. After returning home, the younger kids played with kinetic sand for half an hour, before the family had lunch. After lunch, Amy took her younger ones out for another walk and her daughters decided to take their B&M Water Blaster backpacks with them. The nifty backpacks have water guns attached to them, so kids can have water fights whilst out and about. Amy said she got her kids' pink mermaid backpacks for £5 from the budget store, but online it currently looks like they are only selling Marvel water backpacks, priced at £8.99. Unfortunately, one of Amy's younger daughters was too small for the backpack, but she was happy carrying around a little spray bottle. During their walk, the kids also went to the park, and on a hunt for blackberries to pick. They managed to find a whole bush full of ripe berries, took them home and then gave them a good wash, before making a fruit crumble. The kids were happy and entertained for the entire day, and Amy didn't have to spend a single penny. I bought two splash pads from Temu and TikTok shop for £9.99 for my kids to compare - one of them is HUGE for the price The video, posted under the username @singlewithseven, has likely left many impressed, as it has racked up over 24,000 views on the video-sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video sharing platform, to share how impressed they were with Amy's no spend day. One person said: "Aw I love this! "A no-spend day is so tough, you've done a great job keeping them occupied!"
