Aboard their $500 million superyacht off the coast of Cannes, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were spotted indulging in sun, sea, and sizzling romance. As their lavish June wedding in Venice approaches, the couple’s affection—on full display—was as bold as their billion-dollar lifestyle.
Billionaire romance on the Riviera
With the Mediterranean sun casting a golden hue over the French Riviera, Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez seemed completely immersed in each other—and the moment. The couple was photographed aboard their custom-built superyacht Koru, basking in the kind of extravagant intimacy only the ultra-wealthy can afford.
Sánchez, dressed in a revealing thong bikini, lounged comfortably on a sunbed while Bezos, Amazon’s billionaire founder, playfully engaged with her in a series of candid moments. In one viral image captured over the weekend, Bezos appeared mid-swing, delivering a cheeky spank to his partner as she sunbathed on deck. The photographs, first obtained by The Daily Mail, show more than just PDA—they reflect a couple unafraid of affection, attention, or spectacle.
Bezos was also seen rubbing Sánchez’s back and planting a passionate kiss, while later photos caught the couple in a cozy exchange—her head resting near his lap as he tenderly caressed her hair. In another striking image, Sánchez was captured joyfully dancing from her lounge chair, arms raised in celebration, fully at ease in her element.
A yacht fit for royalty
Their vessel, the Koru, isn’t just a yacht—it’s a statement. At $500 million, it’s one of the most expensive and expansive sailing yachts ever built, crafted in the Netherlands by Oceanco, a leading name in bespoke superyacht construction.
At 417 feet long, Koru blends old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Its name, drawn from Māori culture, symbolizes growth and new beginnings—a fitting motif for the couple as they head into married life. The yacht is also notable for its unique figurehead: a carved wooden sculpture that bears an uncanny resemblance to Sánchez herself, a romantic (and unmistakably lavish) gesture that underscores Bezos’s deep affection for his bride-to-be.
Equipped with a support vessel, a helicopter landing pad, and all the trappings of a floating five-star resort, Koru serves not just as a recreational getaway, but as a stage for the couple’s love story—a story told in bold strokes, rich materials, and uninterrupted ocean views.
From Paris to Cannes: A bachelorette fit for a queen
The yacht rendezvous came fresh off the heels of Sánchez’s star-studded bachelorette festivities in Paris, where she celebrated with a dazzling circle of friends that included Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria. The group kicked off the long weekend with dinner at the iconic Lafayette’s, a Parisian institution known for blending old-world charm with contemporary French cuisine.
What followed was a whirlwind of glamour: private luncheons, shopping excursions, and a boat party that brought together the who’s who of celebrity circles. Photographs and social media posts from the weekend revealed a mix of elegance and exuberance, with the bride-to-be exuding both joy and confidence as she celebrated this major milestone.
In a world where celebrity nuptials often lean toward the extravagant, Sánchez’s Parisian send-off was still a standout—part high fashion, part heartfelt, and entirely headline-worthy.
Venice awaits: A wedding on the horizon
With the Mediterranean coast behind them and wedding bells on the horizon, Bezos and Sánchez are preparing for what is expected to be one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. Sources say the couple will tie the knot this June in Venice, Italy, surrounded by over 200 guests in what promises to be an opulent affair.
While details remain under wraps, expectations are sky-high. The event is likely to blend European sophistication with American star power, drawing together a guest list that spans tech moguls, Hollywood elites, media icons, and royal connections. It’s a union not just of two people, but of influence, wealth, and a shared passion for life at the highest level.
Despite the extravagance, insiders suggest the couple is focused on keeping the celebration personal and meaningful. “They’re planning something beautiful but intimate,” says one source. “It’s less about spectacle and more about love—and the people who’ve supported them along the way.”
Love in the limelight
For Bezos and Sánchez, public affection isn’t new—but it continues to captivate. From red carpets and charity galas to sun-drenched yacht decks, their relationship has evolved under the media microscope. What remains constant is their undeniable chemistry and unapologetic embrace of luxury.
More than a romance, their story is a reflection of modern power dynamics: a fusion of ambition, reinvention, and visibility. Bezos, once the notoriously private tech founder, has grown into a more expressive, image-forward public figure—much of which can be credited to his relationship with Sánchez, a former broadcast journalist with a flair for connection and media savvy. Together, they represent a new version of the billionaire couple: socially conscious, fashion-forward, and entirely at ease being front-page news.
From Cannes to Venice, Bezos and Sánchez are scripting a love story as sprawling and sunlit as the Mediterranean itself—complete with passion, power, and the kind of glamour that only sails with the super-rich.
