Lauren Sánchez’s ex is expected to attend her wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
An inside source tells PEOPLE that Sánchez’s ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez will be present during this week’s festivities in Venice, alongside their son, Nikko .
According to the source Sanchez and Tony’s wife October are “super close.”
Sánchez herself seemingly confirmed that Gonzalez’s wife October “Tobie” Gonzalez will also be at the wedding.
On Tuesday, June 24, Sánchez, 55, commented on an Instagram photo shared by Tobie, writing, “see you soon,” in a comment.
She and the Amazon billionaire, 61, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, this week, though much mystery surrounds where and when the nuptials will take place.
Sánchez shares son Nikko with ex-boyfriend Gonzalez and shares son Evan and daughter Ella with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell.
Meanwhile, Bezos has four kids of his own. The entrepreneur welcomed three sons and one daughter with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
Bezos and Sánchez went public with their relationship in 2019. Four years later, Bezos proposed to the philanthropist with a 30-carat engagement ring in May 2023. The pair were on vacation in the South of France when the billionaire popped the question, and Sánchez was photographed rocking her cushion-cut engagement ring as she spent time with her fiancé on the yacht soon after.
Ahead of the wedding, the pair were spotted on Bezos’ $500 million superyacht named Koru off the coast of Europe on Sunday, June 22, partaking in lavish foam-filled festivities with their friends.
Wearing their swimsuits, the billionaire Amazon founder and Sánchez played around in foam that bubbled up on the deck in clouds of thick, frothy bubbles. Partygoers also bounced around giant blue, pink and yellow beach balls, and dove off the yacht to swim in the ocean.
