Their romance came after the Amazon founder, 59, split from novelist and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. They were married for 25 years and share four children together.

Speaking of their joint philanthropic efforts in an interview with CNN, Jeff said: "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," with Lauren noting that they make "really great teammates."

Lauren recently gushed about Jeff when celebrating his 59th birthday in January with a lengthy tribute on Instagram, where she wrote: "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."

She added: "Thank you for always being by my side and for being the most loving and supportive partner. I am so grateful for the memories we have made and the adventures yet to come.

"Here's to many more birthdays filled with love and laughter," she then wrote, concluding in Spanish with: "Te amo con todo mi corazón," meaning, "I love you with all my heart."
