Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's July Fourth celebrations are bound to go off with a bang - and there's a big reason why the holiday will be extra special this year.
The billionaire has been dating the 53-year-old news anchor and TV host for almost five years, but they only recently got engaged, making this July Fourth their first since Jeff asked Lauren to marry him.
The couple doesn't do things by halves - the Amazon founder proposed with a $3.5 million diamond engagement ring - so we can't see them letting the American celebration slip under the radar.

Since they are in Europe, July Fourth celebrations may already be in full swing, despite it being an American holiday.
Jeff popped the question in May 2023 and their engagement was confirmed by People at the time.

They first took their relationship public back in January of 2019, but were reportedly dating for at least a year before then. Their romance came after the Amazon founder, 59, split from novelist and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.

Lauren, who was married to Whitesell at the time, had her introduction to Jeff facilitated by her former husband.
