Trump to skip Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez's star-studded Venice wedding? What you need to know
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez's highly anticipated nuptials are just around the corner. The tech billionaire, 61, and the former TV journalist will reportedly tie the knot during a three-day wedding extravaganza in Venice, Italy, next week. The lavish wedding, taking place under the shadow of protests, will see multiple high-profile guests, including celebrities, politicians, business leaders among others. Their ceremony promises to be among the most closely watched, and closely held, in recent memory. Bezos proposed to Sánchez, 55, on his yacht, Koru, docked near the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, according to an interview in Vogue, hiding the pink diamond ring under her pillow. 'When Jeff opened the box,' Sánchez recalled. 'I think I blacked out a bit.' The exact dates for the wedding have not been revealed, though Luca Zuin, spokesperson for the mayor of Venice, told CNN this week it will be held from June 24-26. In a report published Friday, a source told the Daily Mail the island of San Giorgio Maggiore will be "'off-limits to visitors" from June 24-29. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo ALSO READ: Katy Perry-Orlando Bloom have broken up?

What's behind Alia Bhatt's toned body and magic waist? Her diet secrets and workout regime
On June 20, 2025, Alia Bhatt was photographed stepping out of her regular fitness class, effortlessly putting to rest ongoing speculation about a possible second pregnancy. Dressed in sleek black treggings paired with a matching sleeveless crop top that showed off her toned midriff, Alia exuded confidence and radiance. Her minimal makeup and softly tied half-bun hairstyle gave her a naturally glowing look. As she waved cheerfully to the photographers, her visibly toned waistline spoke volumes, leaving no room for further conjecture. Despite fans recently assuming she was expecting again—especially after her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, where she was seen gently touching her stomach—Alia's latest outing left no doubt: she's simply staying fit, not pregnant. While shedding postpartum weight can be challenging, Alia Bhatt revealed in several interviews how there's no shortcut to losing weight post-pregnancy and being slow yet steady is the key. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Baca Undo A Thoughtful, Gradual Weight Loss Journey Following the birth of her daughter, Raha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt took a patient, science-based approach to regaining her strength and fitness. Rather than resorting to quick fixes or unsafe methods, Alia emphasized healing and balance. In a 2022 interview with Vogue India , she shared that she refused to jump into intense workouts or deprive her body post-childbirth. She gave herself the necessary time to recover, starting workouts only once cleared by her medical team. When Actress Dismissed 'Unnatural' Weight Loss Rumours In another Vogue interview in 2023, Alia had debunked several unfounded claims that she had resorted to unnatural methods to shed post-pregnancy weight. She confirmed she worked out six days a week, even during her pregnancy, staying active under expert guidance. Her regime included a mix of yoga, Pilates, and strength training—all focused on long-term well-being over immediate results. "Many folks are under the impression that individuals who work in the visual medium do unnatural things to their bodies to get back in shape post-delivery. That's why I felt like it was important to document parts of my fitness journey on Instagram. I didn't put any pressure on myself.." she said. Nutritional Strategy Backed by Science Alia's nutritionist, Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, provided further insight into her disciplined approach in a 2024 interview with Humans of Bombay. He shared that Alia had a clear vision—she wanted her weight management both during and after pregnancy to be scientifically sound yet manageable. The duo worked together to monitor her diet monthly, modifying her intake based on her baby's development and her own physical condition. This careful monitoring ensured that Alia stayed healthy throughout her motherhood journey, and when the time came to lose weight, her body responded efficiently without shock or strain. Dr. Bhargava highlighted that it wasn't an effortless journey, but Alia was well-prepared and committed. Her discipline and awareness helped her navigate postpartum health challenges with confidence and clarity. Current Career Moves and Upcoming Projects Alia Bhatt continues to juggle motherhood and her film career with grace. She was last seen in Jigra, an action-thriller directed by Vasan Bala. In the film, she portrayed a fierce sister determined to free her wrongly accused brother. Despite a promising premise, the movie received lukewarm reviews and wrapped up its box-office run with around Rs 55 crore. Looking ahead, Alia is set to star alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated epic Love & War. Additionally, she will take center stage in the female-led action film Alpha, showcasing yet another bold chapter in her career.
