Jeff Bezos could be heading down the aisle again – and probably with a prenup this time. The Amazon founder is reportedly engaged to girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.

According to Page Six, which first reported on the engagement Monday, the former Amazon chief executive and Blue Origin founder popped the question while he and the former TV anchor were sailing the Mediterranean on his new US$500 million superyacht, which pays tribute to Sanchez’s likeness on the bow.

The two were recently in the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival, where they attended the premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese.

Representatives for Bezos’ Blue Origin and Sanchez’s Black Ops Aviation did not immediately respond Monday to the Los Angeles Times’ requests for comment.

TMZ and CNN also confirmed the engagement via unnamed sources but did not provide additional details about the impending nuptials.

The relationship between Bezos, 59, and the former Good Day L.A. host, 53, came to light in 2019 amid his high-profile split from MacKenzie Bezos, his wife of nearly 25 years, who famously donated more than half of her US$37 billion divorce settlement after their split and inspired the premise of Apple TV+’s Loot.

The Bezoses, who share four children, announced their divorce in 2019, not long before the National Enquirer published an exposé about Bezos and Sanchez.
