When Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, first met, they were both married to other people. Shortly after their affair became public knowledge it snowballed into an international scandal when Bezos accused National Enquirer owner David Pecker of attempting to blackmail him over photographs he’d allegedly sent to Sánchez depicting his “semi-erect manhood.”

The second marriage for both is taking place in Venice, Italy, under a shroud of secrecy and amid a swarm of speculation.

A group protesting Bezos’ upcoming Italian wedding, “No Space for Bezos,” held a protest in a Venetian town square on Friday.
