Lauren Sánchez talks wedding prep with Jeff Bezos: 'I’m like every other bride'

One of the most anticipated celebrity weddings has to be Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos. The couple got engaged last year, creating a lot of buzz, especially since Bezos is one of the richest men in the world and spares no expense when it comes to his fiancée. While everyone waits for more details about the big day, Lauren has started to share how the wedding planning is coming along.

The writer and philanthropist recently sat down on the Today show to discuss her involvement in the No Child Sleeps Outside campaign, which aims to help homeless families—a cause her fiancé has supported with generous donations. During the interview, however, hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie couldn’t resist asking about her personal life—specifically her upcoming wedding with Bezos. 

When they brought up her plans, Lauren responded with a laugh, saying, “So, you asked! I’m really excited, thinking about the dress. I have to say, I have a Pinterest—I’m like every other bride, so I have a Pinterest board.”

Some viewers speculated that Sánchez seemed uncomfortable answering questions about her wedding, but she appeared friendly and lighthearted throughout, smiling as she shared her excitement.

Lauren, 54, also reflected on how unexpected her life has been. “I never thought that when I turned 55 I would be a writer and married. Life is just beginning,” she said. “When I was 20, I was like, ‘Oh my God, life ends at 50. ’ Let me tell you, it’s not like that, ladies. It’s not over, it’s just the beginning. It’s just getting better and better and I always say, when women say, ‘What’s it like to turn 50? ’ it’s just the beginning,” she said.

Despite speculation she was uncomfortable with the question, she posted about the appearance on  Instagram writing, “I loved being on the @TodayShow and highlighting the amazing organizations helping homeless families." "These groups are doing incredible work helping homeless families find shelter and hope. I feel so grateful to be a part of this mission with Jeff," the author continued.

Lauren, who got engaged to Bezos in May 2023, has not revealed a wedding date, but according to The Sun, the celebration will be this winter. “They are preparing for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas,” a source told the British tabloid.

“They are planning an extravagant ceremony and are sparing no expense in creating a white Christmas party,” the insider added. According to the outlet, a long list of Hollywood celebrities as well as personalities from the business world are expected to attend the celebration.
