Jeff Bezos might be taking it easy, but Lauren Sánchez Bezos is living her best life in St. Barts. After a cozy Christmas in Aspen, the power couple traded snowy slopes for Caribbean sun, hitting up celebrity hotspot Nikki Beach on Monday for a lively day party.
The scene was electric. Bottle service arrived to celebrate a birthday, and Lauren was ready to have fun. The former journalist popped up on a banquette, dancing in a denim mini skirt and a strapless top, with a wide-brimmed straw hat, which completed her chic ensemble.
Meanwhile, Bezos remained seated, soaking in the atmosphere with a group of friends. “There was security everywhere,” said an onlooker to Page Six. The birthday celebration only amplified the energy. Several bikini-clad bottle girls paraded out, one even riding a motorcycle, sparklers in hand.
It was the perfect backdrop for Lauren’s radiant party mode to celebrate the end of 2025 and kick off 2026, while accompanied by Bezos, who enjoyed a more relaxed vibe.
Their $500 million mega yacht, Koru, has also been spotted in the area. The couple has made St. Barts a holiday tradition, returning year after year for sun, sand, and celebration.
Before swapping snow for sand, the duo spent the holidays in Aspen, Colorado, in a display of understated chic. On Christmas Eve, they were seen strolling hand in hand through the mountain town, effortlessly turning the quiet streets into a runway.
Lauren leaned into winter fashion with black-and-white Chanel ski pants and a cropped hoodie, while Jeff opted for a monochrome ensemble, pairing black ski pants with a long-sleeved top, cap, and sunglasses.
Their shopping stop at upscale hat store Kemo Sabe alongside DJ Diplo was definitely a moment, as celebrities and stars continue to arrive to spend the holidays.
Earlier this month, Lauren celebrated her 56th birthday with an Instagram tribute reflecting on family and life milestones. “Another trip around the sun and if you had told me when I was a little girl this is what life would look like at 56, I’m not sure I would’ve believed you…and it’s not even about the big moments,” she wrote.
“The wedding was beautiful, but what stayed with me were our kids’ words. Going to space gave me an unexpected clarity. Dropping one child off at college, watching another get accepted this year and one building a life of his own has grounded me in a way nothing else could.”
The birthday tribute included rare glimpses of her three children. Nikko with retired NFL player Tony Gonzalez, and Evan and Ella with her ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. Lauren’s reflection offers a grounded perspective amid the whirlwind of luxury travel and high-profile appearances.
Back in St. Barts, the couple’s holiday getaway shows the balance between celebration and relaxation as the couple prepares for the new year. While Jeff seems to be pacing himself, Lauren is in full party mode. Observers noted she was dancing, drinking wine, and exuding Caribbean vacation energy, while Bezos watched the festivities with calm amusement.
