Why Sydney Sweeney attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding
The Venice, Italy wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez was quite the star-studded affair, with the event filled with A-listers.
The guest list included everyone from Orlando Bloom to Oprah to Kim Kardashian, to name just a few.
One of the more surprising celebs spotted in Venice was actress Sydney Sweeney, who had many scratching their heads since she doesn’t appear to be close friends with either the bride or the groom.
The 27-year-old made headlines during the festivities by partying with the likes of Tom Brady and recently-single Orlando Bloom.
Still, her inclusion at the lavish $50 million wedding left some baffled, though now a new report sheds some light on why she was actually there.
It seems Sweeney’s arrival was a show of respect for her future boss Bezos, according to a new report from Page Six.
Back in March, Sweeney signed on to star in the video game adaptation of the recent hit Split Fiction.
The adaptation will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool & Wolverine).
Then in early June, Amazon MGM Studios picked up the project, which seemingly lead to an invite extended to Sweeney for Bezos’ wedding.
A source admitted Sweeney, ‘is not friends with either one of them,’ though adding she, ‘came to pay respect to the “boss,” just like in the old days of Hollywood.’
The fantasy/sci-fi game Split Fiction follows authors Mio and Zoe who become trapped within the worlds they have written.
It’s unclear which of the two main characters Sweeney will portray, with Amazon said to be ‘actively looking’ to cast her co-star.
Sweeney will also be returning to HBO’s Euphoria as Cassie Howard, and she recently starred in Apple TV Plus’ Echo Valley with Julianne Moore.
She is also playing trailblazing female boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic that is in post-production and expected to be released later this year.
Sweeney is currently single, coming off her engagement with producer and businessman Jonathan Davino.
They started dating in 2018 and he popped the question in 2022, though they broke up and called off the wedding in March 2025.
Sources told Daily Mail that they were going through a ‘rough patch’ and they were trying to ‘reassess’ their relationship.
Another report said that Sweeney felt ‘overwhelmed’ by the wedding and she ‘didn’t feel right about it.’
