Bill Gates Joins The Festivities At Bezos and Sanchez’s Grand Engagement On Luxurious Yacht

Bezos and Sanchez's Grand Engagement Celebration: A Gathering of Stars

In a lavish celebration on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez marked their engagement, surrounded by close friends and notable personalities. The party, which took place onboard Bezos’ $500 million yacht, was a testament to the couple’s love and the high regard in which they’re held by their peers.

Among the distinguished guests was Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who was seen enjoying the festivities alongside his girlfriend, Paula Hurd. The two have been in the spotlight recently, with sources confirming their relationship, though Hurd has yet to meet Gates’ children. Gates, a father of three, finalized his divorce with Melinda French Gates in August 2021 after 27 years of marriage. Paula Hurd, on the other hand, was previously married to Mark Hurd, the CEO of software company Oracle, who passed away in 2019.

The engagement party comes after Bezos, 59, and Sanchez, 53, announced their engagement in May during a European vacation. Their relationship became public in January 2019, shortly after Bezos revealed the end of his 25-year marriage to MacKenzie Scott. Around the same time, Sanchez was finalizing her divorce from Patrick Whitesell, with whom she shares two children. She also has a son from a previous relationship with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.

Sources close to the couple have shared their joy, stating that Bezos and Sanchez are “on cloud nine” and “madly in love.” The engagement ring Sanchez sports has been described as “beyond stunning,” capturing the attention and admiration of many.

The engagement party is just one of the many celebrations the couple has enjoyed this summer on Bezos’ yacht. Their love story, which has captured the attention of the world, is a reminder of the unexpected turns life can take and the joy of finding love when least expected.
