Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's meet-cute and why they chose Venice for their wedding
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to tie the knot in Venice later this month. Long before they became one of the world's most watched power couples, the Amazon founder and Lauren Sanchez crossed paths through mutual connections in media and business. At the time, Sanchez, an Emmy-winning TV anchor and helicopter pilot, was married to talent agent Patrick Whitesell. Bezos, too, was married to MacKenzie Scott; however, the soon-to-be married couple were introduced by shared acquaintances, as reported by Marca. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to marry in Venice from June 24 to 26. REUTERS/Danny Moloshok/File Photo(REUTERS) Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's friendship grew stronger around 2018, particularly when she became involved with aerial filming for Bezos' firm Blue Origin. In early 2019, shortly after Jeff Bezos announced his divorce from Scott, he made his relationship with Lauren Sanchez public. What began as a professional rapport deepened into a personal bond, shaped by shared interests- space exploration, philanthropy, and media. In 2023, Bezos proposed to Sanchez during a Mediterranean getaway aboard his superyacht, Koru. Now, the couple is preparing to tie the knot in Venice with a lavish three-day celebration from June 24 to 26. Also read: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez gear up for the Venetian wedding of the year; here's how much it costs and other details Venice braces for crowds While Venice is known for its grandeur, not everyone is thrilled about the scale of the wedding. According to Il Gazzettino, the city's council director, Morris Ceron, played a key role in bringing the wedding to Venice after being tipped off months earlier by designer Domenico Dolce. Ceron reportedly saw the event as a global showcase for the city, even as locals voiced concern over tourism-related stress and rising waters. As reported by The Telegraph, the estimated cost of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding could climb to a staggering $16 million (around £11.9 million). The breakdown is just as lavish. Roughly $1 million is said to be set aside for floral arrangements and venue décor alone. Wedding planning services could cost up to $3 million, while renting historic Venetian sites may add another $2 million. Catering might run close to $1 million, and Sanchez's outfits across the multi-day event are expected to cost around $1.5 million. FAQs: How did Jeff Bezos meet Lauren Sanchez? They met through mutual business and media contacts while she was still married, as reported by Marca. What ethnicity is Lauren Sanchez? She is of Mexican-American descent. Are Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez still together? Yes, they are engaged and set to marry in June 2025.

'Fans Don't Enjoy It': River Plate's Gallardo Laments Mastantuono's Move To Real Madrid
Last Updated: Marcelo Gallardo expressed disappointment over Franco Mastantuono's move to Real Madrid, and slandered the modern-day pratice of early transfers. Franco Mastantuono's transfer to Real Madrid was premature, and an experience that River Plate fans haven't taken too well, stated coach Marcelo Gallardo. Gallardo acknowledged that losing Mastantuono would leave a significant void in his squad and their plans going forward, since he had built them around the 17-year-old. The midfielder progressed through the River academy and made his first-team debut in January 2024. Earlier this month, River Plate finalized a deal with the Spanish giants, reportedly worth around $45 million, for the highly rated midfielder. Mastantuono is Real Madrid's third signing this summer, following Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool and Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth. The Argentine manager expressed concern that Mastantuono needed more time to develop at River Plate, but conceded that early transfers have become a norm in today's football landscape. 'It's natural—we train players for the world. Everything is happening faster now; young players are leaving sooner, and I understand that's just the reality of the game," Gallardo told ESPN on Friday. 'Our sporting plan for the year included him. Now we'll have to adjust, because some players are simply very difficult to replace. 'We always knew Mastantuono would leave eventually, but it's never easy for the fans. The transfer market dictates the timing." Gallardo also shared that he's trying to help Mastantuono stay focused on the tournament despite the media attention surrounding his move. 'All I ask is for him to play freely and try to block out the noise, even though that's a tall order," he said. 'I don't bring up where he's going to live or anything like that. I just want him to do what he does best—play football." Following Saturday's match against the Mexican side in Pasadena, River Plate are set to face Champions League runners-up Inter Milan on Wednesday. (with inputs from Reuters)
