Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez are reportedly engaged, four years after the couple first went public with their relationship.
Multiple reports surfaced on Monday citing unnamed sources. The New York Post’s Page Six pinned the news on “an insider close to the couple.” People magazine said a source confirmed that wedding bells will ring. CNN also reported that no further details about the proposal or wedding plans were available.
The speculation comes as Bezos, 59, and Sanchez, 53, are vacationing in the South of France, where they were reportedly attending the Cannes Film Festival. A large ring on Sanchez’s finger shows up in photographs used by People mag.
Last week the couple was spotted aboard Bezos’ massive new sailing yacht, Koru, off the coast of the Spanish island Mallorca. The triple-masted schooner, reported to be one of the world’s largest such yachts, has a $500 million price tag — and a figurehead on the prow that bears a resemblance to Sanchez.
Sanchez shares images of her life with Bezos regularly on her Instagram.
Bezos and Sanchez first started dating around January 2019, after the Amazon founder announced he and MacKenzie Bezos were divorcing after 25 years of marriage. MacKenzie Scott has since gone on to remarry and divorce and give away billions of dollars to a variety of organizations. Bezos and Scott have four children together.
Sanchez is a former TV news anchor and helicopter pilot who was previously married to Patrick Whitesell, executive chairman of Endeavor, an entertainment and media agency. They have two children together, and Sanchez has a son with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.
Sanchez is currently vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund.
She previously told WSJ Magazine that she plans to follow in her billionaire boyfriend’s path and take a trip aboard the suborbital rocket ship built by Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture. Sanchez said the mission would feature an all-female crew.
