‘Is it gonna last?’: KIRO hosts debate Bezos-Sánchez marriage as wedding plans ramp up in Venice

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ extravagant wedding to marry his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, is creating quite a stir. The three-day event will take place in Venice, Italy at various sites around the city, according to The Associated Press.

Around a dozen organizations in Venice have been protesting the affair with the slogan “No Space for Bezos.” They claim the wedding is a display of wealth in a world full of inequality and argue over-tourism is hurting residents.

A variety of celebrities have been flown in, including Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, the Kardashians, and Ivanka Trump.

Is Bezos-Sánchez’s marriage based on true love?

However, the question KIRO fill-in host Greg Tomlin had was, will Bezos and Sánchez’s marriage last?

“Do you think it’s true love?” he asked on “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio.

Fill-in host Angela Poe Russell was optimistic the two would stay together.

“Look, they’ve been together for five years. I’d like to think — but you know what? How often have you seen this happen where couples are together forever, and then they get married and they’re divorced within a year? Like, what’s up with that phenomenon?” she said.

KIRO producer Joe Wallace said he questioned Sánchez’s motive.

“When he split from MacKenzie [Scott], there were all these reports that he had met Lauren Sánchez at a party, and she had gone to her friends and said, ‘I need, I need to bag me a man like that,'” Joe shared.
