Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Extravagant Venice Wedding: Drama, PDA, and Glitz!

As we gear up for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, FEMAIL has recapped the couple's most over-the-top moments together

The Most Epic Love Story of the Century: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Scandalous Romance!

As the world waits with bated breath for the most anticipated wedding of the century, we're diving deep into the sizzling romance between Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos and former TV star Lauren Sanchez. From their steamy text messages to their PDA-filled getaways, this power couple has given us a front-row seat to their passionate love story.

It all began in 2019 when National Enquirer broke the news of Jeff's alleged eight-month affair with Lauren, which included some seriously raunchy text messages and erotic selfies. The bombshell report claimed that Jeff whisked his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet, sending her flirty messages and showering her with lavish gifts.

At the time, the bombshell report claimed that Lauren and Jeff had been involved in an eight-month affair. It included raunchy text messages allegedly sent from Jeff to Lauren (recreation)

The report also revealed some pretty graphic texts from Jeff to Lauren, including one where he told her, "I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon." Another message had him confessing his desire to smell her, breathe her in, and make out with her.

Despite the scandalous headlines, Jeff and Lauren didn't let it slow them down. They went on to enjoy a series of lavish getaways together, including a romantic date night in New York City and a sultry photoshoot for Vogue.

Their most over-the-top moment came when Jeff proposed to Lauren on his $500 million super yacht, presenting her with a whopping diamond ring worth $2.5 million (or more!). She reportedly "blacked out" when she saw the massive rock, which only added to the drama and romance of the moment.

Lauren and Jeff's romance was first exposed by the National Enquirer in January 2019, while he was married to Mackenzie Scott (seen)

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for this power couple. Lauren faced intense scrutiny for her 11-minute trip to space on Jeff's Blue Origin rocket, with many celebrities and critics slamming the endeavor as wasteful and unnecessary.

And then there was the time Jeff tripped and fell on the ground while walking over to the capsule to greet his fiancée and the rest of the crew. Talk about an awkward moment!

Despite the drama, Jeff and Lauren are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, with a multi-day extravaganza that's expected to cost around $15 million to $20 million (or more!). The couple has reportedly rented out the entire San Georgio Maggiore island for six days, inviting 200 guests, including suspected A-listers like Ivanka Trump and Kim Kardashian.

Jeff and Lauren didn't wait long after their romance was brought to light to start flaunting their love all over the globe

But not everyone is thrilled about the wedding. Locals in Venice are outraged by the disruption it's causing to their daily lives, with posters popping up all over the city that read, "No space for Bezos."

As the world waits with bated breath for this epic love story to come to life, one thing is clear: Jeff and Lauren's romance has been nothing short of scandalous, dramatic, and utterly captivating. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and get ready to relive all the juiciest moments from their whirlwind romance!
