Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez packed on the PDA while soaking up the sun earlier this week ahead of their wedding this summer.
In photos obtained by Fox News Digital, the 61-year-old Amazon founder was spotted getting handsy with the 55-year-old former entertainment journalist as the couple spent a day at sea with friends on Bezos’ $500 million sailing yacht, which was anchored off the coast of Cannes, France.
Bezos was seen playfully smacking and patting his bride-to-be on her backside while she tanned on a lounge chair next to a friend who smiled at the couple.

The pair were later spotted side by side as they enjoyed lunch with their friends at a table on one of the yacht’s decks.
According to Architectural Digest, Bezos first commissioned his yacht, which he named Koru, in 2018, and it was delivered to the Blue Origin founder in 2023. At 417 feet long, Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world, according to the outlet.

According to Architectural Digest, Sánchez, a licensed helicopter pilot, has been spotted flying her helicopter to and from Abeona.
Bezos proposed to Sánchez while aboard Koru in May 2023, she told Vogue in November of that year.
The two are staying in Cannes and have attended events celebrating the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Last Saturday, Sánchez attended the Global Gift Gala in Cannes. She was given the Women Empowerment Award at that event for her “commitment to uplifting others, breaking barriers, and championing change,” the Global Gift Foundation said in an Instagram post.
