The husband-and-wife-to-be have been on their European vacation since early May, first traveling to France and Spain in Bezos’ $500 million superyacht. The boat features three towering masts, several decks (including one with a pool), and a supporting helipad, per Boat International.

The same yacht features a wooden sculpture that resembles Sánchez, who was first spotted flaunting a diamond engagement ring aboard the yacht — named Koru, meaning “new beginnings,” in late May.
Photos from one of their outdoor strolls captured Bezos giving Sánchez a tap to the rear after holding hands while they were out and about last month.

The newly engaged couple first went public with their relationship in January 2019 after Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott after 25 years of marriage and four children together.
At the time, the former Good Day LA co-host was also divorcing her husband of 13 years, agent Patrick Whitesell. The Emmy Award winner shares two children with Whitesell and has a son from a previous relationship with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.

Sánchez — the vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund— is reportedly looking forward to continuing to build her "philanthropic profile" as she and Bezos start their next chapter together.
Early in their relationship, a source previously revealed to PEOPLE that the pair bonded over their philanthropic efforts. Since then, the couple has emphasized their shared commitment to strategic giving. In late 2022, Bezos — currently worth $138 billion, per Forbes — said he plans to give away most of his fortune.
"The hard part is figuring out how to do it in a levered way," he told CNN in a joint interview with Sánchez in November. "It's not easy. Building Amazon was not easy. It took a lot of hard work, a bunch of very smart teammates, hard-working teammates, and I'm finding — and I think Lauren is finding the same thing — that charity, philanthropy, is very similar.”
