Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez honeymoon at ‘White Lotus' hotel in Sicily
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are reportedly celebrating their honeymoon in Sicily following their lavish £40 million wedding in Venice.
The newlyweds are said to be staying at the historic Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, famously featured in HBO's The White Lotus Season 2.
On Sunday, the couple was seen departing the Aman Venice hotel by boat, reportedly lunching in Torcello before flying by helicopter to Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru. The yacht is expected to dock in Taormina, where the luxurious hotel—offering suites over €7,000 per night—is located.
The three-day wedding, held on San Giorgio Maggiore island, was described as the 'wedding of the century,' with nearly 200 VIP guests in attendance. Celebrities like Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, and Bill Gates were among the attendees.
Highlights from the celebration included performances by Usher and DJ Cassidy, a no-phone policy, and a private ceremony. According to Daily Mail sources, the couple had already been legally married in the U.S. before the event and signed a prenuptial agreement to safeguard Bezos' $244 billion fortune.
Lauren Sanchez stunned in a rose pink Atelier Versace gown, while Bezos adopted a more casual style post-wedding. The San Domenico Palace, their honeymoon destination, boasts a rich legacy, once hosting icons like Sophia Loren and Oscar Wilde.

Charlize Theron slams Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez after their $50 million wedding in Venice
Charlize Theron took aim at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's reported $50 million wedding in Venice while hosting her charity event, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party. She quipped that she and her guests were 'cool' despite not receiving an invite and added, 'they suck', signalling her disapproval of the extravaganza. The actress contrasted the lavish celebrations with pressing global issues, warning that while the world 'feels like it's burning', humanitarian crises—from immigration failures to threats to trans and queer rights and rising gender-based violence—require urgent attention. High‑profile guests included Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom. Despite the opulence, protesters in Venice accused Bezos of avoiding tax, unfurling banners in St Mark's Square. Local activist group No Space for Bezos called the wedding exploitative and said the city's mayor valued spectacle over resolving housing shortages and tourist overcrowding. In response, Bezos and Sánchez reportedly made charitable donations to Venice ahead of the event and asked guests to direct gifts into local causes.

Reacher season 4 recasts Jay Baruchel with Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette
Production on the fourth season of Prime Video's hit action series Reacher is underway, with Alan Ritchson set to return as the iconic Jack Reacher. However, the show has undergone a casting shake-up following the departure of Jay Baruchel due to an undisclosed personal matter. As first reported by Deadline, Baruchel, 43, was originally cast to play Jacob Merrick, a small-town police officer. But just weeks after the casting announcement, he exited the production, prompting a swift recast. Actor Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has now taken over the role. Rodriguez-Marquette is best known for his performance as Chris Lucado in HBO's Barry. Baruchel, known for roles in How to Train Your Dragon, This Is the End, and BlackBerry, has not publicly commented on his departure or the circumstances behind it. He has been married to Rebecca-Jo Dunham since 2019. Season 4 of Reacher is slated for release in 2026 and is based on Lee Child's 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow, the 13th book in the bestselling Jack Reacher series. The show debuted in 2022 and quickly gained a strong following, with Ritchson's portrayal of the title character receiving praise for aligning more closely with the physicality of the literary version than previous screen adaptations. Tom Cruise previously played Jack Reacher in two feature films, beginning in 2012 under the direction of Christopher McQuarrie. Actor Jai Courtney, who appeared in the first film, recently reflected on missing out on the lead role for the TV series. Speaking to Forbes, he praised Ritchson's performance and expressed admiration for the actor's growing career, particularly his upcoming role in Netflix's War Machine alongside Courtney himself. Despite the casting change, anticipation remains high for the upcoming season.
