Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding guests: Kylie Jenner, Tom Brady, Oprah arrive
A steady stream of A-list guests have begun arriving for the glitzy Italian wedding week of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez.
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner led the pack Tuesday, June 24. Trump, a close friend of Sánchez, and Kushner were pictured arriving in Italy, as was Belgian fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, who created the eponymous brand DVF and hosted the couple for a pre-wedding event. Investor Bill Miller's superyacht was also spotted arriving in town.
Big names continued to stream in Thursday, with Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian, TV icon Oprah Winfrey and sports legend Tom Brady sailing in on June 26. Sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner donned bright, form-fitting dresses as they boarded a boat to one of the festivities.
Sánchez's fellow Blue Origin space flight crewmember Gayle King was seen ducking out of The Gritti Palace Hotel and into a boat with Winfrey. Model Vittoria Ceretti, Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom – riding solo, sans fiancée Katy Perry – were also headed out to one of the wedding events.
Bezos and Sánchez, who went public with their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in 2023, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, the city previously confirmed.
The wedding comes about six years after the Amazon founder began dating Sánchez following his split from ex-wife and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
Sanchez's ex and NFL legend Tony Gonzalez – considered one of the greatest tight ends in history – and his wife October "Tobie" Gonzalez, friends of "The Fly Who Flew To Space" author, are expected to attend.

Italians protest billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding
As the billionaire Amazon founder and his fiancée prepare to walk down the aisle, their celebrations have also reportedly been impacted by protests, which see the event as a sign of garish commodification of a fragile city.
Local anti-tourist activists, members of Greenpeace Italy and the U.K. group "Everyone hates Elon" (Musk) are among those protesting against the wedding ceremony, saying city authorities were prioritizing tourism over resident needs, Reuters reported.
