Lauren Sánchez, fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio have once again found themselves at the center of attention after an awkward encounter at the 2025 amfAR Gala. This comes after a similar moment in 2021 at the LACMA Gala, which had already gone viral for its awkwardness.
At the latest event, a video surfaced showing DiCaprio approaching the couple at their table. As he leaned in, Sánchez appeared to go in for a kiss on his cheek, but stopped just shy of making contact, while DiCaprio placed his hands on both their arms in a seemingly playful group hug. This moment quickly sparked comparisons to their previous interaction, where Sánchez appeared unusually close to DiCaprio while Bezos seemed oblivious to the tension.
Fans wasted no time in commenting on the body language between the two, with one Instagram user remarking, “Body language is screaming. Even billionaires love Leo!” The video gained traction online, echoing the viral reaction from the LACMA Gala, where the interaction was branded as awkward.
This wasn’t the first time the internet had reacted to the pair’s interactions. After the 2021 video went viral, Bezos responded humorously on social media. He posted a photo of himself next to a sign that read, "Danger! Steep Cliff. Fatal Drop," with a caption jokingly inviting DiCaprio to “come over here, I want to show you something.” Bezos’s witty response sparked even more playful comments from fans, further fueling the viral sensation.
