Jeff Bezos vehemently denied rumors that he and fiancée Lauren Sanchez are set to marry next weekend in Aspen. The billionaire, visibly frustrated, criticized the false reports, stating, “This whole thing is completely false—none of this is happening. The old adage, ‘don’t believe everything you read,’ is even more true today than it ever has been.”
Bezos didn’t stop there, echoing a sentiment about the rapid spread of misinformation: “Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on.”
The original report claimed that the couple would wed at Kevin Costner’s ranch in Aspen, followed by a lavish reception for 180 guests at the upscale sushi restaurant Matsuhisa. While Bezos has the resources to pull off such an extravagant event, he made it clear that these details were entirely fabricated.
Despite shutting down the wedding rumors, it’s evident the couple is moving forward with their plans. Sanchez has revealed that she has already selected her wedding dress, although no official date or details have been announced by the couple.
