Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, turned heads during a recent romantic dinner at the upscale Alba restaurant on September 6. The Amazon founder, 61, and the former reporter looked radiant as they held hands, smiling warmly while stepping out together.
Lauren dazzled in a vintage 2008 Christian Dior gown by John Galliano, paired effortlessly with brown heels, transforming their evening into a glamorous date night. Her dress featured intricate floral details, delicate fringes, and a daring thigh slit that highlighted her striking figure.

The pair seems focused on their life together after they exchanged vows in June during an extravagant, rumored $50 million wedding in Venice, Italy, surrounded by friends and celebrities.

Lauren earned her pilot’s license at 40, inspired by her father, who owned a flight school. She later founded Black Ops Aviation, a female-owned aerial filming company.

She recently celebrated Evan’s first solo helicopter flight, calling it “terrifying, exhilarating, and so deeply rewarding all at once.”
Jeff’s personal life also recently faced loss. Last month, his mother, Jacklyn Bezos, passed away at 78 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Jeff honored her with a heartfelt social media tribute.

She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish. For the rest of her life, that list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for."
Lauren also shared her grief on Instagram, "Those we lose leave us with a quiet instruction… to live with more tenderness, more gratitude, more love. I carry that reminder with me today."
