Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez enjoyed a night out with Usher, his girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea and self-proclaimed ‘fifth wheel’ Scooter Braun.
The Amazon founder, 59, and the former news anchor, 53, had just finished Thanksgiving when they met with music industry insiders at an undisclosed location.
Braun, 42, took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of himself posing with the power couples, while poking fun at his singlehood following his 2021 divorce from ex-wife Yael Cohen.
“The 5th wheel,” the controversial music manager captioned the image, which shows him smiling with his arm around Goicoechea.

Usher, 45, stands in the center of the photo, flanked by Bezos and his music manager girlfriend, while Sanchez and Braun serve as the group’s bookends.
Everyone was dressed in black, except Braun, who seemed to have missed the dress code memo in his white shirt.
Taylor Swift’s nemesis had limited comments on his post, but the photo got a stamp of approval from Sanchez.
“Best night,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji for good measure.
It is unclear what night the photo was taken or where they were when they met.
Usher spent most of his time in Las Vegas for his My Way residency, but he had a few days off after his November 25 performance.
The group of friends may seem strange to some, but Usher used to work with Braun and remains one of his close friends.
They were enjoying a guys trip over the summer when it was revealed that Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato had dumped him as managers.
The bash was held at Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller’s sprawling Beverly Hills home and featured a number of A-list guests, including Kris Jenner (pictured)

The friends’ latest meeting comes just a few weeks after Bezos and Sanchez celebrated their engagement with a party at Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller’s sprawling Beverly Hills home.
Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse, Oprah Winfrey and Miranda Kerr were among the A-list guests.
Bezos and Sanchez also recently made their debut on the glossy pages of Fashion.
The world’s third-richest man and his bride-to-be sat down for a joint interview with the publication for its December 2023 issue, which included a glamorous — if heavily mocked — photo shoot.
The duo opened up about their engagement, with Sanchez admitting she “kind of fainted” when she saw the huge pink diamond ring Bezos surprised her with in May.
Bezos and Sanchez spent the summer traveling around Europe on his $500 million superyacht, including a stop in Croatia where they met Braun and Usher.
The billionaire announced earlier this month that he and his bride-to-be are moving from Seattle to Miami to be closer to his parents.
‘We’re still thinking about the wedding, what it’s going to be. Will it be big? Will it be abroad? We don’t know yet,” Sanchez said, adding that she was more focused on Bezos’ 60th birthday party in January.
But the billionaire already knows he won’t be part of the planning for their wedding.
‘Oh God no. Do I look so stupid?’ Bezos said with a laugh.
When asked if she will take her husband’s surname, she replied: “Um, yes, one hundred percent. I’m looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.”
Bezos announced earlier this month that he and Sanchez are moving from Seattle to Miami to be closer to his parents.
He bought not one but two adjacent properties on Indian Creek this year for a total of nearly $150 million.
The couple will feel right at home on the affluent island known as ‘Billionaire Bunker’. retired NFL star Tom Bradyformer first daughter Ivanka Trumpand singer Julio Iglesias will be among their neighbors.
