Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos hosted an extravagant three-day wedding celebration in Venice, Italy last week, drawing significant attention due to the presence of actress Sydney Sweeney. The newlyweds, known for their high-profile relationships and business ventures, invited an array of celebrity guests, many of whom had established ties to the couple. However, Sweeney’s attendance sparked curiosity, as her connection to the Bezos couple was not immediately clear.
Among the guests were Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, who had been friends with Lauren since her bachelorette party in May. Sweeney, however, had no known personal ties to either Bezos. A report from Page Six suggested that Sweeney’s attendance was business-related, citing her involvement with Amazon MGM Studios. The source claimed that Sweeney had traveled to Venice to participate in the event as part of her role in the upcoming film ‘Split Fiction,’ which is set to be produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Despite not being friends with either Bezos, Sweeney’s appearance was described as a nod to the old Hollywood tradition of actors attending events for influential figures, akin to the ‘boss.’
The film ‘Split Fiction,’ which has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios, is based on a video game with the same title. Sweeney, who has been signed onto the project since March, also serves as an executive producer. This business connection appears to be the primary reason for her attendance at the Bezos wedding. While some fans of Sweeney expressed disappointment online, others humorously commented on the situation, suggesting that inviting such a high-profile actress made perfect sense for Bezos. One fan joked on X, formerly Twitter, asking, ‘If you’re Jeff Bezos, why WOULDN’T you invite Sydney Sweeney to your wedding?’ This lighthearted comment reflects the mixed reactions to her presence at the event.
Beyond Sweeney’s attendance, the Bezos wedding attracted a wide range of other celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, and the entire Kardashian-Jenner family, underscoring the star-studded nature of the celebration. Sweeney was spotted at multiple events during the three-day celebration, including the ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island and an evening event at Harry’s Bar, where she was seen with model Karlie Kloss. These appearances highlight the blend of Hollywood glamour and high-profile business connections that characterized the event, further emphasizing the intersection of celebrity culture and entertainment industry developments.
