WEDDING BELLS TOLL: Billionaire Bezos' Star-Studded Nuptials

Get ready for the most epic celebrity wedding of the century! Jeff Bezos, the world's second-richest man, is tying the knot with his stunning bride-to-be, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish three-day extravaganza that has left everyone buzzing!

Brady Bunching Up to Fun?

As the big day approaches, Tom Brady, the NFL superstar, was spotted getting cozy with none other than Wendi Deng, Rupert Murdoch's glamorous ex-wife! The dynamic duo stole the show at Jeff and Lauren's pre-wedding soiree in Venice, Italy. With Tom looking dashing in his beige blazer and black slacks, and Wendi rocking a sleeveless ruffled dress and designer heels, it was clear that these two were having the time of their lives!

The Ex-Files: Who's Who?

For those who don't know, Tom Brady has had quite the dating history. After his shock split from supermodel Gisele Bundchen in 2022, he began dating Russian runway maven Irina Shayk in 2023. However, their romance fizzled out in early 2024. Then, there were rumors of a possible romance with Kim Kardashian, which she hilariously shut down on Netflix's The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady!

Wendi was media mogul Rupert Murdoch's third wife, and mother to his youngest children: Grace, 24, and Chloe, 22; the exes seen in 2013

Wendi's Wild Ride

As for Wendi Deng, this Chinese-born American entrepreneur has had her fair share of high-profile romances. She was married to Rupert Murdoch from 1999 to 2013 and is the mother of his youngest children. After their divorce, she linked up with British violinist Charlie Siem in 2016, followed by a two-year affair with Hungarian model Bertold Zahoran in 2018! She even had to deny claims that she was having a secret relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin!

Bezos' Big Bash

As of 2025, Wendi is believed to be single, with New York publicist and gossip columnist R. Couri Hay previously claiming that she has 'always been mysterious, but socially she's become clandestine'; Wendi sen in June 2025

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to tie the knot on Saturday in Venice, Italy. The Amazon billionaire has spared no expense, inviting 200 A-list guests, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Tom Brady! But here's the catch – Jeff and Lauren have asked their guests NOT to bring gifts! Instead, they'll be making donations to charities working to stop Venice from sinking!

Greenpeace Protests

As you might expect, not everyone is thrilled about Jeff Bezos' lavish wedding. Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined forces to protest the event, citing Jeff's allegedly low tax rate and the environmental impact of the celebration.

But don't worry – Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro and Regional Governor Luca Zaia are on board with the nuptials. They're predicting that the celebrations will bring in a whopping $23-34 million to local businesses! And, as an added bonus, Jeff has pledged to make sizable charity donations, including $1.16 million to Corila – an academic consortium dedicated to studying Venice's lagoon ecosystem!
