Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Wedding: Who are her exes Tony Gonzalez & Patrick Whitesell, does she have kids?

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding has been dubbed the most lavish celebrity wedding of the year.

With a net worth of $223.5B, it goes without question that no expense is set to be spared when it comes to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding. The planners behind their wedding are Lanza & Baucina, a company founded by Prince Antonio Licata di Baucina and Count Riccardo Lanza.

It would seem that the wedding plans have not gone that smoothly as according to The Telegraph, “Jeff Bezos has reportedly been forced to move his Venice wedding celebrations after residents threatened to fill the city’s canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop guests arriving.” Activists have been planning to shut the city down with their protests.

Putting protests aside, the wedding has a star-studded wedding list, which includes Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, as well as Ivanka Trump and Oprah Winfrey. One name that is not expected to be on the guest list is Lauren Sánchez’s ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife Mackenzie Scott is not expected either.
