Fans speculate about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's body language during night out: 'Run Jeff, runnnnnn'

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez certainly looked wedding-ready when they hit the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty red carpet on March 2 - but their body language sparked an entirely different conversation.

The couple — who have been inseparable since going public with their relationship in 2019 and getting engaged in May 2023 — has kept the details of their rumored nuptials tighter than an Amazon Prime shipping schedule. But that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed internet sleuths from analyzing every move they make.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez raise eyebrows on social media

For the glamorous night out, Jeff Bezos, 60, wore a black tuxedo, crisp white button-up, and a matching white bowtie. Meanwhile, Lauren Sanchez, 54, turned heads in a stunning custom Oscar de la Renta gown - white, strapless, and dripping in feathered accents along the hem and train.

The look had big bridal energy, leading many to speculate whether this was a subtle hint at an impending wedding, the Atlanta Black-Star noted.

As the couple posed for photographers, Sanchez clung tightly to Bezos, looping her arm around his and placing her hand on his chest. But Bezos kept things strictly business, standing stiffly at her side with both arms at his sides and barely returning the affection.

Of course, this didn’t go unnoticed. Netizens wasted zero time dissecting the couple’s red-carpet demeanor.

“Bros getting played,” one Instagram user speculated, casting doubt on Bezos’ future with the former 'Good Day LA' journalist.

Another warned the billionaire: “Run Jeff runnnnnnn.”

Casual body language experts honed in on the lack of physical reciprocity from Bezos, with one person noting: “Not loving their body language. He isn’t leaning in or standing towards her. She seems to be trying really hard to show she likes him.”

Another quipped, “She’s hanging on to him so he doesn’t get away.”

"His body language speaks negatively to me," stated someone else

"Does he know she’s there?" quipped one individual.

The wedding rumor mill keeps spinning

Even before their Oscars night out, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were the subject of relentless wedding speculation. In December, rumors spread that the couple was planning to tie the knot in a $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado, at the end of the month.

But Bezos personally shut down the reports on social media.

“None of this is happening,” he wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been. Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible.”

The billionaire even called out publications for running the false story: “Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that ‘covered’ and re-reported on this issue issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen.”

While Aspen may have been a false alarm, insiders still believe Bezos and Sanchez are planning something big. The latest speculation is about a lavish destination wedding on Bezos’ $500 million yacht off the coast of Italy in June. The couple has yet to confirm or deny the latest round of theories, but the whispers are only growing louder.

If (or when) the couple does make it official, it will be the second marriage for both. Bezos was famously married to author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott for 25 years before their high-profile divorce in 2019. The former couple shares four children.

Sanchez, on the other hand, was previously married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell and has two children with him. She also shares an adult son with her ex, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
