Only One NFL Legend Makes It Onto Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding List
Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports

It’s not every day that a wedding turns into a global headline, but when it’s Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tying the knot, it’s bound to be anything but ordinary. Taking place in the breathtaking backdrop of Italy, the guest list reads like a who’s who of the rich and famous, from Hollywood royalty to tech moguls.

Even the sports world had its representation, though just one NFL legend received an invite to this ultra-exclusive celebration. And his presence? Well, it definitely says a lot. The man in question here is none other than seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady

Now that Brady’s officially stepped away from his playing days, he’s got a lot more time to enjoy life off the field, including making appearances at some high-profile events. He’s been spotted hanging out with Bezos on a few occasions, most recently at the Miami Grand Prix earlier this year.

After celebrating their engagement with big names like Bill Gates on Bezos’ yacht and a Beverly Hills bash hosted by fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, the guest list for the wedding is just as stacked. Attendees include Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Karlie Kloss, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. 

Guests are staying in luxury hotels like the Aman and the Cipriani, and instead of gifts, they’ve been asked to donate to charity — though they’ll still get classy goody bags. Bezos has been rumored to be eyeing an NFL team more than once, but so far, nothing’s come of it. For now, his closest connection to the league isn’t ownership, it’s his friendship with Brady.
