Lauren Sanchez flaunts curves in dark bikini as she relaxes on fiancee Jeff Bezos’ $500 million mega yacht

Lauren Sanchez flaunted her curves in a dark bikini and took selfies while lounging on fiance Jeff Bezos’ $500 million mega yacht.

Sanchez and Bezos have been traveling on the superyacht Koru for the past month and were last seen disembarking in Saint-Tropez – continuing their lavish vacation in the South of France.

The former news presenter wore a black bikini and sheer sarong – and paired the outfit with a pair of dark aviator dresses to match her raven-black locks.

The 53-year-old beamed as she took off the sarong to reveal her sensational curves in the steamy two-piece aboard the world’s largest sailing yacht.

Sanchez was seen taking selfies while lounging on the luxury vessel as Koru plowed on to the next stop on their vacation.

Her skin looked tanned as the raven-black beauty lay relaxed on the deck – her husband-to-be was nowhere to be seen.

Earlier today, Sanchez was chivalrously aided by the Amazon billionaire as he disembarked the tender that took them to port from their boat.

The newly engaged couple smiled and held hands as they strolled through Saint-Tropez, Sanchez happily showing off her new engagement ring.

Bezos wore a button-up shirt and khaki pants. Both completed their outfit with sunglasses and sandals.

Their arrival in Saint-Tropez follows a stop in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, a small seaside town on the French Riviera, on Friday, and Portofino on Monday with some of their children.

When spotted Portofino, a fishing village on the Italian Riviera, they were spotted enjoying an intimate family dinner at Ristorante Puny.

The lovebirds were joined by Sanchez’s two teenage children, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell. The mother also has a 22-year-old son, Nikko Gonzales, with her former NFL star ex Tony Gonzales.

The third teenager with them turned out to be one of the billionaire’s youngest sons.

Bezos has four children with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Their eldest sonPreston Bezos, was born in 2000, and they also have two younger sons and a daughter they adopted from China.

Bezos and Sanchez arrived in Portofino in style earlier that day when they landed by helicopter on the Koru’s $75 million support vessel, Abeona, which is equipped with a helipad.

It’s unclear exactly when Bezos and Sanchez got together, but their affair was revealed in January 2019 by the National Enquirer.

Soon after, the entrepreneur and investor divorced Scott, his wife of over 25 years. After their divorce, Scott became one of the richest women in the world, with a four percent stake in Amazon.

Sanchez was married to Whitesell when her relationship with Bezos came to light. Her then-husband was reportedly the one who introduced her to Bezos in the first place.

A powerful man in his own right, Whitesell is the executive chairman of Endeavor, the parent company of talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME).

Bezos and Scott finalized their divorce in April 2019 – the same month Sanchez and Whitesell ended their marriage.

The pair made their first public appearance together in May 2019, before heading to St. Barts for the holidays.

As the third richest man in the world, Bezos is no stranger to taking his sweetheart on lavish vacations, but this is likely to be a summer for the books.

The Amazon boss popped the question to the Emmy Award-winning journalist aboard his new superyacht last month, sources told DailyMail.com.

The couple were seen kissing and cuddling aboard the Koru as Sanchez wore a huge gem on her ring finger — sparkling proof that she said, “Yes.”

At the time, they were off the coast of Cannes, enjoying the start of their Mediterranean odyssey and the inaugural voyage of Bezos’ superyacht.

Bezos and Sanchez were first seen on the deck of the floating mansion on May 18 after flying to Europe on a private jet.

Their journey on the yacht, which is named the Koru after the Maori word for “new beginning,” comes more than five years after it was commissioned.

The ship, then known as ‘Project 721’, was built in the historic port of Zwijndrecht, close to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, by sailboat specialists Oceanco.

Past designs include the 100-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.

The Koru is the second largest sailing ship in the world, surpassed only by the Philippe Starcke-designed sailing yacht A, owned by Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.

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.

The yacht was finally handed over to Bezos in April after undergoing sea trials in February.

Last year, even before the Koru was launched, the sheer size of her masts sparked international controversy when Rotterdam announced that the center section of the 100-year-old Koningshaven Bridge would be removed to allow the superyacht to sail north. Sea.

Reports say Bezos had said he would pay to have the bridge dismantled and rebuilt, but his request was denied.

Local residents launched a petition to pelt the boat with rotten eggs on its maiden voyage, which garnered thousands of signatures.

Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb of Rotterdam said in response to the comments that no permit had been applied for and that the masts were eventually attached downstream in the Port of Rotterdam.

The three-masted schooner was finally delivered at the end of April and sailed from the Netherlands to Mallorca via Gibraltar.

Along with a private submarine, Koru sails a smaller 250-foot support ship equipped with a helipad and filled with a collection of speedboats and supercars for Bezos and Sanchez to enjoy.

The main ship, painted midnight blue with gold accents, features three decks, a swimming pool and a huge sundeck.

The interior is reportedly inspired by Eos, a 305-foot yacht owned by former Fox CEO Barry Diller that costs $25 million a year to maintain.
