According to an article published by People on Wednesday, March 26, the A-list couple has sent out their invitations for the big day. Per the outlet, the wedding will take place in Italy, off the coast of Venice, in June of this year. The 61-year-old billionaire and the 55-year-old former entertainment reporter will tie the knot on their $500 million yacht, which is named Koru.

TMZ reported that actress Eva Longoria, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and reality stars Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian received invites. Additionally, the outlet revealed that news anchor Gayle King and singer Katy Perry — with whom Sanchez will be heading to space — have been invited.
Before the E! alum walks down the aisle, she will be blasting off into space on Monday, April 14, as part of the first all-women space crew on one of her fiancé’s Blue Origin rockets. Along with Perry and King, the crew includes aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Earlier this month, the mom of three posted an Instagram Reel showcasing the first video call with all the women.

“We’re all gonna come back with this profound love of Earth, and we’re gonna be able to share that with the world and hopefully touch everyone in a small way that they’ll wanna help save the planet,” she remarked on the call.
Bezos proposed to the former journalist in May 2023 while vacationing in the South of France. The Amazon founder was previously married to Mackenzie Scott from 1993 to 2019, and the couple share three sons and an adopted daughter.
As for Sanchez, she was married to Patrick Whitesell from 2005 to 2019 and shares son Evan, 18, and daughter Ella, 17, with him. She is also a mom to son Nikko, 24, whom she shares with ex Tony Gonzalez.
