Lauren Sánchez is now Mrs. Bezos.
The bride, who exchanged vows with Amazon titan Jeff Bezos in Venice, Italy, on Friday, changed her Instagram handle to Lauren Sánchez Bezos shortly after saying “I do.” She also deleted her entire grid, leaving only a single wedding celebration photo on the account.
In the photo, the new Mrs. Bezos held hands with the Amazon CEO at the star-studded wedding party. She wore a corseted lace Dolce wedding gown with a mermaid design and a traditional embroidered veil.
Bezos donned a traditional black tuxedo with a bowtie as the duo smiled for photos while surrounded by their applauding guests under a grove of trees.
Multiple sources told Page Six on Thursday that the former journalist and Bezos had already legally tied the knot in the US after signing a multimillion-dollar prenup.
The couple did not register to make the union legal in Venice, despite throwing a lavish multi-day celebration on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
“Often a marriage in a foreign country is not valid in the USA, or creates other issues, so yes it is likely they are already married,” a Florida-based attorney explained.
Venice officials recently confirmed to the Times of London that the famous pair did not make an official request to marry in the City of Canals — a move required by law in Italy.
“I can totally rule out that they will have a civil ceremony in Venice under Italian law,” an official told the outlet — though reps did not confirm whether Bezos, 61, and his new bride, 55, had completed a civil ceremony ahead of their massive celebration.
The pair married Friday before A-lists guests including members of the Trump family, a handful of Kardashians, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Huma Abedin and Barbara Streisand, among many others.
Guests reportedly arrived to the Venetian soirée to the strains of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” performed by Matteo Bocelli, and a gospel choir reportedly sang Whitney Houston’s hit “Higher Love.”
The over-the-top celebration is estimated to have cost the famous couple $50 million.
“It’s going to be perfect — everything they wanted and with everyone they love,” a source told Page Six in May.
The celebrations are expected to continue with a massive post-wedding reception.
