Jeff Bezos Reportedly Honeymooning at Iconic ‘White Lotus' Hotel
Bezos, 61 and Lauren Sánchez, 55, are reportedly spending their honeymoon at the San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons resort in Taormina, Sicily, following their controversial and star-studded three-day-long Venice wedding.
The hotel was at the center of the second season of the hit HBO show The White Lotus, which satirizes the lives of the ultra-wealthy as they stay in a new luxury hotel every season.
A source told the Daily Mail that the newlyweds will board Bezos' $500 million superyacht Koru and head to Taormina.
Bezos allegedly grew enamored with the town last year while the couple was sailing along the Aeolian Islands.
The luxury hotel has been visited by the likes of Oscar Wilde, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Elizabeth Taylor. It also hosted the G7 summit in 2017, hosting political leaders from around the world.
Today, the hotel is best known for its role in The White Lotus in 2022.
The last episode of that season garnered 4.1 million U.S. viewers, a record which was promptly smashed this year by the last episode of season 3, with 6.2 million people tuning in.
The Four Seasons has appeared in all three seasons of the hit HBO series, the first season being set in its Hawai'i location and the third season in its Thailand branch. Its website also lists which of its hotels were featured in popular shows and media, including The Dark Knight and Pretty Woman.
Rooms at the San Domenico Palace can cost up to $8,000 per night, a price that pales in comparison to the price tag of the couple's lavish wedding. Sánchez's ring alone is estimated to cost between $3 million to $5 million, according to People.
The wedding hosted around 200 A-listers and billionaire guests, who descended onto Venice in private yachts and jets, taking over the Marco Polo airport.
Some notable faces included Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Trump was also invited to the 'wedding of the century' but couldn't attend due to scheduling conflicts.
The citizens of Venice were not too pleased that the billionaire's nuptials were taking place in their city, concerned that it would disrupt their day-to-day lives and contribute to the city's overtourism problem.
Following local protests, the celebrations were ultimately moved from central Venice to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in a former medieval shipyard called the Arsenale.

Y&R Twist: Holden's Loyalty Is Tested — Will Claire Be the One to Pay the Price?
Cane Ashby left his guests hanging at the French Riviera. He jetted off to Genoa City on The Young and the Restless, and he had to make some business deals behind their backs. During his time there, he met up with Holden, who had been hanging around and wondering when his lucky break was going to happen. But this could spell trouble for Claire. Holden (Nathan Owens) had planned to go back to Los Angeles. However, he stayed in Genoa City to keep an eye on Audra (Zuleyka Silver). She hasn't warmed up to his good looks and charms. Instead, she's been focused on her relationship with Nate (Sean Dominic). But now, her new interest is in Kyle (Michael Mealor). READ THIS: Why a Claire and Holden romance should happen on Y&R. Holden did strike up a friendship with Claire (Hayley Erin). They've already shared many good drinks and interesting conversations. Holden even helped Claire overcome her panic attack with some breathwork and more drinks. Since Kyle and Audra are out of town, Holden has even more time on his hands. His luck could change. On the Tuesday, July 1 episode of Y&R, Holden met Cane (Billy Flynn) in the flesh. He was surprised to learn that Cane left his guests behind and headed back to GC. But Cane needs to set up his life there again. He also has an interest in the businesses over there. Cane offered Holden a new opportunity. Of course, as with any new opportunity in Genoa City, it comes with strings attached. Cane wants Holden to get more information about Adam (Mark Grossman), Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), Abby (Melissa Ordway), Mariah (Camryn Grimes), and Claire. This could work financially in Holden's favor, but it won't work for him personally. WATCH THIS: Check out Soap Hub's new podcast, Soap Hub Says here! Holden would ultimately ruin the possibility of a friendship with Claire. She's a smart woman. She could quickly find out what Holden's up to. He can kiss their friendship goodbye if he wants to fraternize with the enemy. In the end, this could affect Claire, especially now that she has close ties to the Newmans. What are your thoughts on Holden's new opportunity? Do you think this will ruin his chances of ever becoming friends (and more) with Claire? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Sydney Sweeney Makes Love Life Decision Amid Tom Brady Rumors
By all accounts, Sydney Sweeney enjoyed herself at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Naples, Italy over the weekend. Sweeney, 27, who called off her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino earlier this year, was reportedly the center of attention for some of the single men in attendance, including A-list actor Orlando Bloom and NFL legend Tom Brady. The Euphoria star was reportedly spotted chatting and dancing with Brady during the reception Friday night, and she, Bloom and Brady were seen taking a walk together in Venice on Saturday. However, while the internet may have been running wild with thoughts of Sweeney dating one of these leading men, a new report from TMZ says the Anyone but You actress is happily single. "Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actress is very much single despite the swirling speculation after she was seen spending time on a stroll through the streets of Venice, Italy with both Bloom and Brady," TMZ wrote. We're told the "Euphoria" star is focused on her career and enjoying life, with romance not being a priority right now." Sweeney and Davino had been in a relationship for several years and were scheduled to get married in May. However, the couple reportedly split in January, and a short time later, officially called off their nuptials. In March, a source told PEOPLE Sweeney was "overwhelmed" by the relationship and "didn't feel right" about marrying Davino. "She's not ready to settle down," the PEOPLE source said. "They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now." The source added that Sweeney was "right where she wants to be." "Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said.
