Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are kicking off wedding celebrations early.
Ahead of their Venice nuptials, the couple enjoyed a party on the Amazon founder’s $500 million yacht June 22 off the coast of the island Cres in Croatia.
And it was quite the foamy affair. In photos, the couple are covered in suds as they enjoyed the spume that accompanied them on the boat. The duo appeared relaxed, with Lauren, 55, wearing a red bikini paired with a beige hat and aviator sunglasses, while Jeff, 61, opted for blue trunks, a white bucket hat and shades.
Although the pair’s latest celebration appeared to be in honor of Lauren’s son Evan, who turned 19 on June 22, it comes just ahead of their grand wedding celebration in Venice. In fact, just last month, Lauren—mom to Evan, and Ella, 17, with ex Patrick Whitesell, as well as Nikko Gonzalez, 24, with ex Tony Gonzalez—celebrated her bachelorette party with several of her star pals.
Indeed, Lauren was joined by Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Eva Longoria and more for her Paris hen celebration and commemorated the occasion in a subsequent social media photo dump.
“Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who’ve lifted me up,” Lauren wrote in a May 15 Instagram post, “illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way.”
As for Jeff and Lauren’s actual nuptials, the couple have remained fairly tight-lipped on what the festivities will entail, but Lauren’s brother Paul Sánchez previously teased what is to come, comparing it to the extravaganza put on by Princess Diana and King Charles III’s 1981 wedding.
“I think it's gonna be like a Princess Di thing,” Paul told TMZ in March. “Just huge and fun, and just a blast.”
Meanwhile, Lauren has said that her relationship with Jeff—who shares four children with ex MacKenzie Scott— itself already makes her feel like royalty.
“It’s the greatest experience I’ve ever had,” she told the Wall Street Journal shortly after the pair confirmed their relationship in 2023. “We love to be together and we love to work together.”
