Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez’s reaction to meeting Leonardo DiCaprio went viral for being insanely awkward
The hilarious clip keeps recirculating on social media
The moment Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez’s met Leonardo DiCaprio has left social media users roaring with laughter.
I guess we’d be lying if we said we’d probably not act a similar way – it is Leonardo DiCaprio, after all.
But people online simply won’t let Lauren Sánchez forget her rather awkward interaction with the Hollywood star.
The moment she and Bezos stopped to chat to DiCaprio at the 10th Annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)’s Art and Film Gala Presented By Gucci in 2021 was caught on camera – and has continued to do the rounds on social media some three years on.
The Amazon founder and his then-girlfriend, now fiancée, bumped into the Killers of the Flower Moon star on November 7, 2021.
In the clip, Sánchez can be seen so close to DiCaprio that it’s almost as if she’s half-hugging him.
She can’t stop beaming at him, and her eyes are wide as she gazes up at the actor’s face.
Bezos is on the other side of her, but it’s as though he doesn’t even exist amidst Sánchez and DiCaprio chatting away.
The actor then appears to be making an exit from the conversation, pointing his finger in the air, as Sánchez takes a step after him.

And it didn’t take long for people to flood to the post to weigh in – and they’re still doing so now, even in 2024.
One X user wrote: “I thought he wanted nothing to do with girls over 26.”
A second commented: “Who else noticed how she was staring at Leonardo the whole time?”
And a third joked: “Find you someone who looks at you the way Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend looks at Leonardo DiCaprio.”
Not even being one of the richest men in the world could make his girlfriend at the time tear her eyes away from the actor as they talked.
But he clearly didn’t too much to worry about in the end – with Bezos and Sánchez having since gone on to get engaged.
Bezos popped the question when the pair were vacationing on Bezos’ $500m super yacht Koru in May 2023.
While there’s not been much news about a date being set for their wedding – unless they did what all celebrities seem to do these days and got married in secret – with Sánchez being over 25, there’s no real need to hurry.
