While chatting with Extra in a new interview to promote her second children’s book, The Fly Who Flew Under the Sea, Lauren, 56, opened up about her destination wedding to Jeff Bezos, 62, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

The billionaire couple tied the knot last summer on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on June 27.
“We did tear up the dance floor. We had so much fun,” Lauren said. “It was really incredible being there with, you know, all of our kids, our family, our best friends, and we danced all night. It was really, really fun.”
Lauren noted that the couple’s children all gave touching speeches at the celebration. Jeff shares three sons and one daughter with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Meanwhile, Lauren shares son Nikko, 25, with ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez, and son Evan, 19, and daughter Ella, 18, with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. Ella’s speech moved her mother to tears.
“All of our kids gave speeches, mine and Jeff’s, and they were all so meaningful,” Lauren told the outlet. “My daughter gave a speech during the ceremony, this was before we said our vows, and [I] started bawling. Like, I could not- I’m like, ‘Oh, my gosh’ right before the pictures.”She continued, “And so all of our kids gave these speeches and they were all extremely emotional and loving and I think they made the wedding what it was.”
Speaking with Today on March 3, Lauren reflected on her son Evan’s speech. Like Lauren, Evan has dyslexia and recalled a key moment from his childhood about how she helped him in his journey with dyslexia.”One of my kids, who is dyslexic — and he lets me talk about it — went up there and talked about a moment that was extremely important to him, and I had no idea what he was going to say,” Lauren said.
“He was in the fourth grade and not writing well and he wrote this sentence that says, ‘I can do this,’ ” she recalled. “And it was his first sentence. And that’s really late to be writing your first sentence as any parent with a kid with dyslexia knows.”
Lauren continued, “I blew it up and I put it in our kitchen, and it says, ‘I can do this.’ Anyway, he talked about how special that moment was for him.”
More than 200 guests attended Lauren and Jeff’s wedding. Among the A-listers spotted were Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, Tom Brady and many more celebrities.
A source previously told PEOPLE that the wedding ceremony kicked off with a performance of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley, sung by Matteo Bocelli to cheers from the guests.

The Amazon deal ranks behind the $129 billion in orders for Oracle Corp.’s bond sale last month, but exceeds the $125 billion for Meta Platforms Inc.’s offering in October.
Amazon is accessing the US high-grade debt market with an offering spanning as many as 11 tranches, ranging from two to 50 years. The company is also marketing an eight-part bond sale in the European high-grade primary market.
The demand demonstrates continued investor appetite for hyperscaler debt despite rising uncertainty over the widening conflict in the Middle East and its potential impact on the US economy.
JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are among the banks managing the offering, alongside with HSBC Holdings Plc and Citigroup Inc.

The job cuts are planned to be shared across Volkswagen’s 10 brands, which include Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley. The company said tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, coupled with declining sales in North America and China have contributed to falling profits, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

Volkswagen imports are subject to a 25% tariff by the United States.”In total, around 50,000 jobs are due to be cut by 2030 across the Volkswagen Group in Germany,” Oliver Blume, chairman of the Volkswagen Group executive board, said in a letter to shareholders. “We are operating in a fundamentally different environment.”
As sales have declined in China, Chinese automakers have also moved into the European market, increasing competition.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East have introduced greater uncertainty for the automaker as it tries to navigate a challenging market.
Volkswagen reported a 4.6% profit margin for fiscal year 2025. It is predicted to fall between 4% and 5.5% in the 2026 fiscal year.
Arno Antlitz, Volkswagen’s chief of finance and operations, said that the group’s profit margin is not sustainable.
“We can only realize this if we continue to rigorously reduce costs,” Antlitz said.
Economic challenges have slowed the group’s transition to electric vehicle production. Porsche has stalled this transition for the time being as profits fell by 98% in 2025.
