For all the fuss that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have created around their “triumph of the tacky” Venice wedding, sources have revealed to the Daily Mail and Page Six that they already are married.
“Impeccable sources” closely connected to organizers of this week’s three-day extravaganza told the Daily Mail: “They have been married for at least a month, more than a month.”
The source said the marriage between the Amazon founder and the former TV personality actually took place in the United States, and is legal in the United States.

“Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding,” the source said. “Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.”
To the controversial couple’s many critics, the news that their Venice wedding is all for show — a display of their global wealth, power and influence — won’t come as a surprise.
Bezos and Sanchez — who began an affair with each other while married to other people — could have celebrated their love for each other in a dignified private ceremony with close family and friends.
Instead the world’s third richest man decided to invite some of the world’s other richest and most famous people — Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian and, notably, Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump — to a bash that involved taking over an ancient Italian city and a major world tourist destination at the height of tourist season.
The Daily Mail source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez were already legally married. Page Six added that the couple had not registered to tie the knot on Venice.
The Daily Mail and Page Six also reported that they had signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect Bezos’s $244 billion fortune.
In certain ways, Bezos and Sanchez are participating in a growing wedding trend, usually among well-heeled couples, who want to throw themselves a destination wedding in some romantic overseas location. But they learn that marriages in foreign countries often are not valid in the United States. In such cases, the couple privately ties the knot in the United States and then stages a more lavish ceremony and reception in their dream destination, as a Florida-based attorney explained to Page Six.
City officials also told The Times of London that Bezos and Sanchez did not make an official request to wed in the Venice, which is required under Italian law. “I can totally rule out that they will have a civil ceremony in Venice under Italian law,” an official said.
But Bezos and Sanchez could have made the wedding official in Italy. When George Clooney wed Amal Alamuddin in Venice in 2014, the ceremony was officiated at Venice town hall before their lavish celebration, Page Six also reported.
But reports that Bezos and Sanchez didn’t feel a need to bother with a legal Venice ceremony confirms for critics that they probably care about the show, not the true meaning of marriage.
Certainly this wedding helps establish Bezos, the former tech nerd-turned-pumped-up tech bro, and his eagerly busty bride as one of the leading couples of the “international ruling-class,” as writer Amy Odell wrote in the New York Times. Others have labeled them “oligarchs,” as they enjoyed prominent seats with other tech billionaires at Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.
To Odell, Bezos and Sanchez also appear eager to embrace a new ethos for the super-rich in the Trump era. Understatement, restraint, minimalism and quiet luxury are out. Now “it’s the luxe life at full volume.” As Trump has turned the White House into “a rococo Liberace lair,” “swaggy and braggy have replaced stealth wealth” and “flaunting is in,” Odell said.
