Is Jeff Bezos' Sydney Sweeney investment fueling divorce rumors with Lauren Sánchez?

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez face divorce rumors after his $1B investment in Sydney Sweeney’s lingerie brand.

Divorce rumors surrounding Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are gaining traction, with new reports pointing to Bezos’ business ties to Sydney Sweeney as a major source of friction.

According to The List, journalist Rob Shuter revealed on his Substack that Sweeney was invited to the couple’s high-profile Venice wedding not due to friendship, but business. Sweeney is launching a lingerie line, and Bezos has reportedly invested a staggering $1 billion into the project. Sources say this deal caught Sánchez off guard.

“There’s definitely some tension,” a source told Shuter. “Lauren didn’t realize just how involved Jeff was in this. It’s… awkward.”

The controversy has only grown after Page Six reported that Sweeney attended the wedding to “pay respects to the boss,” a reference to old Hollywood traditions where power mattered more than personal ties.

Sweeney, already making headlines for her political associations and rumored casting in Amazon MGM’s upcoming James Bond reboot, appears to be deep in her business era — but the consequences may be hitting closer to home for Bezos.

The List emphasized how this business dynamic, paired with Sweeney’s expanding influence, is fueling speculation about strain in Bezos and Sánchez’s marriage just months after their wedding.

While no official statements have been made, sources say the situation remains uncomfortable behind the scenes as the billionaire and his new wife navigate public scrutiny.
