Lauren has plenty of fans… and plenty of critics<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been over a week since Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos\u2019 three-day Venice nuptials, yet the carousel of sensational snaps from the couple\u2019s Big Day just keep coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the wedding that launched a thousand ships, quite literally, onto the canals of the quaint Italian town, with the picturesque vessels containing some of showbiz\u2019s most precious cargo, including the likes of the Karadshians, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom and the who\u2019s who of the socialites and models of Hollywood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet while most people across the globe are familiar with multi billionaire tech entrepreneur Jeff, 61 \u2013 founder of Amazon and space company Blue Origin \u2013 his new wife, Lauren, 55, hasn\u2019t quite reached the same level of global notoriety as her spouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until now, that is, with a source telling\u00a0Closer\u00a0that the former broadcaster turned space entrepreneur, and now Mrs Bezos, is\u00a0the\u00a0face of Hollywood right now, with even the biggest names in tinseltown falling over themselves to bathe in her limelight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An insider says, \u2018Everyone in Hollywood wanted to be at the wedding, it was definitely a huge source of pride to make the invite list and Lauren is hands down the most popular woman in Hollywood now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Everyone wants to know her and be like her. Even her plastic surgeons are getting a boost from this because people all want to see who she sees. Her seal of approval means everything.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
And when it came to the wedding, no expense was spared, although the staggering estimated price tag of $46 million is unlikely to have made a huge dent in Bezos\u2019 $237 billion dollar worth \u2013 a fortune that landed him the spot of the fourth richest man on Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But beyond the foam parties, the $6 million spent on parking for private jets and the $2 million on wine and champagne alone, the source says that even back in LA, Lauren has become accustomed to the high life.<\/p>\n

The wedding is said to have cost $46m<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018She\u2019s got carte blanche to get the best of everything, the finest champagnes, the biggest private jets and yachts, and she\u2019s very generous. Being around her is like being in a crazy movie that\u2019s never got to end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Being in her inner circle means access to a lifestyle beyond most people\u2019s wildest dreams, even by most celebrity standards she\u2019s at another level.\u00a0The access\u00a0Lauren\u00a0has to anything and everything is truly limitless.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, outside of the bubble of \u2018privileged\u2019 wedding guests, Lauren and Jeff have received huge backlash from the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the wedding weekend itself, activists sprawled over the city brandishing posters with slogans such as, \u2018Kisses yes, Bezos no\u2019, \u2018No Bezos, no war\u2019, and \u2018No space for Bezos\u2019 as well as releasing coloured smoke cannons. \u00a0
,\u00a0
Numerous celebrities have also come out to criticise the celebrities who accepted invitations to the wedding, including Oscar winner Charlize Theron, who said the couple \u2018suck\u2019 and US TV host, Rosie O\u2019Donnell, who shared her disbelief at Oprah\u2019s friendship with the pair.<\/p>\n
Online, too, thousands of members of the public rushed to social media to share their disdain for Lauren\u2019s Big Day.<\/p>\n
\u2018The whole thing was tacky AF,\u2019 wrote one, while another added described the nuptials as, \u2018Proof that money no matter how much of it you have does not buy taste or class.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another critic said Lauren\u2019s Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress was giving them \u2018Shein Kate Middleton vibes\u2019 while another quipped, \u2018It looks like the theme was underwear, Botox, Silicone, and Ozempic.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren also faced further trolling over her changing look, with comments ranging from, \u2018Somehow Sancho always manages to look cheap & tacky, even on her pay-day\u2026 I mean wedding day\u2019, to a description of her as a \u2018Billion-dollar trout mouth\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeff and Lauren have faced plenty of criticism<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
So far, the criticism has done nothing to deter the couple, who are reported to be heading to the setting of Netflix drama,\u00a0White Lotus\u00a0\u2013 the lavish Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Sicily, for their honeymoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The couple first met back in 2016 when Jeff was married to ex-wife Mackenzie Scott, while Lauren was married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two years later, the pair reunited when Jeff hired Lauren\u2019s company, which undertakes filming in space, to help with the content for his own passion project, Blue Origin, and the pair later announced their mutual divorces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now the source says that after seven years together, Jeff is still besotted with his new bride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0They say, \u2018Jeff is so in love with her, if she wants something, all she has to do is mention it and it\u2019s hers. She can take a helicopter to lunch in Napa, throw a party on a private island, or book out an entire designer showroom for a personal fitting whenever it strikes her fancy.<\/p>\n
\u2018She\u2019s never made to feel any kind of way about it – Jeff truly enjoys sharing his riches with her. She has a massive team of people whose only job is making sure she has anything and everything she might want.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet while Lauren continues to face criticism, the former Emmy-award winning broadcaster has previously spoken out about her own upbringing sleeping in a car \u2013 a world away from the life she lives today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We [my family] came from nothing. I used to sleep in the back of my grandmother\u2019s car when she would go clean houses,\u2019 she has previously said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now the source adds, \u2018She’s got a lot of gratitude for where she’s now at in life, which is one of the reasons she\u2019s actually so well liked by anyone that actually meets her and gets to know her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Her own upbringing isn\u2019t something is not something she’s forgotten.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
And despite being the most wanted woman in Hollywood right now, Lauren has also shared that she isn\u2019t immune to the criticism levelled at her and the comments she has admitted to reading online.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said last year, \u2018I\u00a0don’t wish fame on anyone, it’s nothing I ever wanted. It can make you hide because it’s scary to put yourself out there and have people comment about your life who don’t know you.<\/p>\n
‘I’ve shed a few tears, trust me\u2026Write nice comments. Why are people so mean right now? Because they get a lot of attention for it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added, \u2018People put you in a box because it makes them more at ease. They’re more comfortable with it. But I’m like, \u2018OK I’m gonna make people uncomfortable, let’s go.\u2019 I’m embracing it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
