Billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez pack on the PDA during their Never Ending Summer
Jeff Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sanchez were spotted on the PDA as they continue their endless summer, sailing their superyacht across Europe.
The pair, who have been touring the Mediterranean since May 15, on Amazon founders’ $500 million superyacht Koru, were seen smiling as they stopped in Cannes, France.
They were later spotted holding hands while enjoying a sunset stroll on the nearby island of Sainte Marguerite.
In one photo, Sanchez, 53, dressed in a sporty monochrome outfit with a black cap, can be seen lovingly hugging the billionaire, 59, who wore a simple black T-shirt and swimming trunks, from behind as they walked off the huge boat .
The stopover in the south of France is just the latest in a long list of idyllic and luxurious locations the couple, who got engaged in July, have visited during their summer holiday.

The pair have been seen strolling through France, Italy, Majorca and Spain.
Last week, they enjoyed a quiet dinner with their respective children in the picturesque fishing village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera.
The former news presenter shone in a strapless butterfly-print Mirae dress with an asymmetric hem, while Bexos opted for a navy T-shirt with cream trousers and sneakers.
The sweetheart couple was with Sanchez’s two teenage children, who she shares with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell. She also has a 22-year-old son, Nikko Gonzales, with her former NFL star ex Tony Gonzales.
Another teenager, believed to be one of the billionaire’s youngest sons, also joined them.
Bezos has four children with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Their oldest son, Preston Bezos, was born in 2000, and they also have two younger sons and a daughter they adopted from China.
It’s unclear exactly when the Amazon boss and the Emmy Award-winning journalist first got together, but their affair was first revealed in the National Enquirer in January 2019.
Soon after, Scott filed for divorce after more than 25 years of marriage. After their split, Scott became one of the richest women in the world with a 4 percent stake in Amazon.

Sanchez and Bezos’ affair was revealed in 2019 with both divorcing their respective partners in the same year
Sanchez was also with her husband Whitesell when her relationship with Bezos came to light.
It then emerged that Whitesell, executive chairman of Endeavor, the parent company of talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), had introduced the couple.
Both divorces were finalized in April 2019, with the couple making their first public appearance the following month before heading to St. Barts.
As the third richest man in the world, Bezos is no stranger to lavish summer vacations and their current jaunt across Europe seems no different.
At 125 meters in length and 70 meters in height, Koru is one of the world’s largest sailing yachts, complete with 250-foot support vessel with its own helipad.
A large number of guests have joined the pair as they jump off the massive ship.
Last month, their engagement was confirmed when pictures emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling on the boat, with Sanchez wearing a huge gemstone ring on her finger — sparkling proof that she said yes.
He is believed to have proposed while they were off the coast of Cannes.

Named Koru, after the Maori word for “new beginning,” the yacht comes more than five years after commissioning and is finally handed over to Bezos in April after being trialled at sea.
Known then as ‘Project 721’, the ship was built in the historic port of Zwijndrecht, close to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, by sailboat specialists Oceanco.
Past designs include the 350-foot Black Pearl, an all-black aluminum sailing yacht designed for Russian billionaire Oleg Burlakov, who died of Covid in 2021 and whose family still owns the vessel.

Bezos may have paid homage to Sanchez when he designed the megayacht, which features a wooden sculpture of a Roman goddess carved into the ship’s bow, strikingly resembling his bride-to-be.
It’s unclear when the gold-polished statue became part of the ship’s design, but it was commissioned in 2018, a year before their affair came to light.
