Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have a great work-life balance!

The Amazon founder, 60, and his fiancée, 54, smiled as they held hands while stepping out for dinner at The Lobster Club in New York City on Thursday, April 25.

The duo was joined by friends and the businessman's father, Miguel Bezos, before heading to a meetup at Shinji's Cocktail Bar.

Bezos looked dapper for the night out, wearing a navy blue suit, white dress shirt, and blue tie. Sánchez opted for a chic peplum blazer layered over a little black dress, tights, and pointed-toe heels.

It was a busy day for the Emmy-winning journalist and her partner, who were also honored with Conservation International's Global Visionary Award on Thursday.

The engaged couple received the award from the environmental organization at its annual gala due to their work with the Bezos Earth Fund.

According to its website, the fund was developed by a $10 billion commitment from Bezos in 2020 to help "address climate and nature within the current decade." The tech billionaire serves as executive chair, and Sanchez is the fund's vice chair.

Conservation International expressed in a press release that the award highlights "Bezos’s and Sánchez’s unwavering dedication to addressing the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss by preserving Earth’s most critical ecosystems and supporting the local communities that safeguard them."

CEO Dr. M. Sanjayan added that the couple is "making history" in his own statement.

"Not just with the sum of their investment in nature but also the speed of it. They understand that the time to start reversing nature loss and climate change is now — not ten minutes or ten years down the road," he said.

"It's not easy to change entire systems, but that's precisely what they've set out to do. And they're bringing everyone to the table – communities, businesses, governments – while promoting the wisdom of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded their lands brilliantly," continued Sanjayan. "This is collective action with scale and speed, both top-down and bottom-up.”

Philanthropy has always united the couple since the start of their romance.
