Jeff Bezos has shut down speculations of a Christmas wedding with fiance Lauren Sanchez.
The founder of Amazon, 60, hit back at an X post that included information found in a recent The New York Post article, which cited a report from The Daily Mail, that claimed he and his fiancée, 55, have a $600 million wedding in Aspen on December 28.
It came to his attention when CEO of Pershing Square Bill Ackman reposted the Post article with the caption, “This is not credible. Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money.”Â
Bezos then replied on Sunday, “Furthermore, this whole thing is completely false—none of this is happening.”
“The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been,” the businessman went on.
Bezos added, “Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible.”
Bezos then dissed publications that posted the wedding news based on rumours, writing, “Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that ‘covered’ and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen.”
Bezos and Sánchez were dating in January 2019 and got engaged in May 2023.
The billionaire and the reporter were said to be “on cloud nine—so happy and madly in love” after their engagement.
“Her engagement ring is beyond stunning. And huge! She keeps playing with it and looking at it,” the insider told People Magazine. “You can tell she loves it.”
Bezos shares four kids with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott while Sánchez shares son Nikko with ex Tony Gonzalez and kids Evan and Ella with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell.
However, the couple is still planning their upcoming nuptials—which Sánchez fondly spoke of on the Today show.
“I have to say, I do have a Pinterest,” she said. “I’m just like every other bride, so I do have a Pinterest board.”
