Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his long-term girlfriend Lauren Wendy Sánchez are engaged, according to reports.
As reported by Page Six, rumors of the 59-year-old billionaire and the 53-year-old journalist's engagement started after Sanchez was spotted with a diamond on her ring finger.
The alleged engagement - which a source confirmed to People magazine - also comes during the couple's vacation on the billionaire's new $500m yacht named Koru in the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival.
The yacht features a wooden sculpture that resembles Sánchez and is on the French Riviera for the latest stop in their European tour. Last week, the loved-up pair were seen sailing around the Spanish island Mallorca, according to the Telegraph.
The newly engaged couple took their relationship public in January 2019, after the business mogul announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott after 25 years of marriage.
Bezos's 53-year-old ex-wife - with whom he shares four children - was awarded a staggering $38 billion in their divorce settlement and pledged half of it to charity.
The settlement made her the third richest woman in the world with 25 percent of the joint stock in Amazon, however, Bezos kept voting control over her nearly 20 million shares.
Sánchez also ended her marriage with her husband of 13 years, businessman Patrick Whitesell, after reports came out that she was romantically involved with the rich entrepreneur.
The former Good Day LA co-host had two children with her former husband, as well as a son from a previous relationship with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.
Over the years, Bezos and Sánchez have continued to grow together, with the couple going on family vacations, and being spotted at red-carpet events and other celebrity gatherings.
They also gush about each other on their social media pages, with the media personality writing a loving post for her partner's birthday on Instagram.
"Happy birthday to the man of my dreams, who lights up my world with his laughter and kind heart. You have shown me that no great love is not bravely fought for," Sánchez wrote in January. "I am so grateful for the memories we have made and the adventures yet to come," she added. "Here's to many more birthdays filled with love and laughter."
The couple also featured in a joint interview back in November where the Blue Origin founder - who stepped down as CEO of Amazon in February 2021 - revealed to CNN that he plans to give away most of his $124 billion fortune in his lifetime to fight climate change and support other causes.
"The hard part is figuring out how to do it in a levered way," he said of his philanthropic strategy. "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," he added, to which Sánchez stated that they make "really great teammates."
As of now, neither Bezos nor Sanchez have confirmed the news of their engagement.
