Lauren Sánchez lands billionaire fiancé Jeff Bezos’ helicopter on a yacht in Sardinia
Lauren Sánchez is showing off her piloting skills.
The fiancée of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos was seen landing a helicopter on her soon-to-be husband’s yacht on Wednesday in Sardinia, Italy.
An eyewitness said Sánchez made “three or four” attempts at landing on the helipad aboard Bezos’ $100 million support vessel, Abeona, before she was successful.
The ex- journalist — who has been training to become a pilot for over a year and owns an aerial filming company called Black Ops Aviation — eventually grounded the chopper, while cutting a casual figure in a gray tank top, denim shorts and a black baseball cap.
Her businessman beau also opted for a casual ensemble, donning a black tee, black shorts, and a gray cap.
Koru, Bezos’ $500 million superyacht, which features a wooden figurehead that bears a striking resemblance to Sánchez, has been the talk of the town as the pair have been island hopping since May.
Meanwhile, the 246-foot support vessel carries crew as well as what the New York Times described as “toys,” including “ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip.”
Sánchez’s landing comes one month after Page Six exclusively revealed that the Amazon CEO popped the question to Sánchez with a 20-carat engagement ring after five years of dating.
Bezos, 59, and Sánchez, 53, hit the star-studded party circuit in the south of France immediately after getting engaged to celebrate.
Her enormous diamond sparkler is estimated to be worth a whopping $2.5 million, and she hasn’t been shy about showing it off.

The former reporter has proudly flashed the jaw-dropping ring during the couple’s European travels.
She’s paired it with stylish looks, ranging from a black-and-white activewear set to a bright orange maxi dress.
News broke that the pair were dating in 2019, however they kept a low profile until his divorce from wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Scott, was finalized.
Sánchez, who has traveled the world with Bezos over the past few years, has gushed about her future husband on multiple occasions.
“He’s so happy, he inspires me every day, he makes me a better person every day; he’s the most loving human I know,” she said during a January interview with WSJ Magazine.
She also raved about him in a birthday post earlier this year.
“Happy birthday to the man of my dreams, who lights up my world with his laughter and kind heart,” she wrote on Instagram in January.
“You have shown me that no great love is not bravely fought for. Thank you for always being by my side and for being the most loving and supportive partner.”
Sánchez shares two kids with Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell: daughter Ella, 15, and son Evan, 16.
She’s also a mom to 22-year-old son Nikko with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
Bezos, for his part, shares four children with Scott, 53.
