Latest Blue Origin News

Jeff Bezos goes 'above and beyond' for fiancée Lauren Sanchez; Amazon founder's 'out of the world' pre-wedding gift revealed

Mar 28, 2025

The power couple is all set to tie the knot this summer in Venice, Italy, as reported by Page Six, and the ‘crazy, rich' billionaire circle is currently buzzing with the wedding updates of the duo! The wedding invites are reportedly being sent over to the prestigious guests from all over the world. However, before the wedding comes the pre-wedding festivities, and as it turns out, Bezos has the perfect pre-wedding gift for his bride-to-be! The pre-wedding gift! Although the wedding is reportedly going to be held in late June, the festivities are expected to start weeks before the actual wedding. There's more! https://www.instagram.com/p/DE5G1F9pBfK/?hl=en&img_index=3 https://www.instagram.com/p/DE5G1F9pBfK/?hl=en&img_index=3 Bezos, in an apparent pre-wedding gift to Sanchez, is reportedly taking her to space aboard his Blue Origin rocket! Last month, the space company announced that Gayle King, Katy Perry, and Lauren Sánchez will join three other women on its next mission. The 11th crewed flight, with an all-women crew, will board the New Shepard rocket. The exact date for their travel is not revealed yet. However, as reported by NBC News, a ticket for the ride in the Blue Origin Rocket goes into nothing short of six digits! The much-awaited wedding! While there were earlier rumours that a ‘Winter Wonderland' wedding would take place in Colorado last December, Bezos dismissed the claims. Moreover, those plans quietly faded, reportedly due to extensive prenup negotiations—an inevitable discussion given Bezos' staggering $223 billion fortune. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGvqkv_pBmx/?hl=en&img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/DGvqkv_pBmx/?hl=en&img_index=1 However, now the Daily Mail columnist Alison Boshoff cited local media sources to report that Bezos' wedding will be an extravagant affair. She quoted a local source, saying, “The event… will take place aboard their $500 million mega yacht Koru , anchored in the Venetian Lagoon,” However, the report further noted that other sources said that the massive ship would only function as a water taxi. As per the Daily Mail, one ‘perfectly placed friend' insisted, “I promise you the wedding is not on the boat,” explaining, “All the money in the world cannot change those regulations. There's no way that you want to wake up in Venice and not be looking out onto the Grand Canal.” What's more is that Boshoff added - 'two of the city's best hotels', the Gritti Palace and the seven-star Aman are both booked out completely from June 26 to June 29, presumably for the obvious purpose. The guest list! Just like their extravagant engagement party, Bezos and Sanchez's wedding is also expected to be loaded with glamour and power. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAD9Bk4OC_J/?hl=en&img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/DAD9Bk4OC_J/?hl=en&img_index=1 As per TMZ, the star-studded wedding guest list of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez includes names like Jewel, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Eva Longoria. The list also reportedly included Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner; Ivanka Trump; and Jared Kushner. Film producer Brian Grazer, models Brooks Nader and Camila Morrone, and Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg reportedly managed to get an invitation.
