Kris Jenner’s beau Corey Gamble makes surprise solo arrival to Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding

BBG News

Corey Gamble, a long-term partner of Kris Jenner, raised eyebrows when he showed up at the wedding venue of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, held in Venice, Italy.

With a cheerful demeanor, the 44-year-old talent manager stepped onto a water taxi, eagerly preparing for this year’s most highly anticipated wedding.

The business executive, much like several famous figures, nonchalantly dismissed the intense demonstrations by the Italian populace.

Corey’s presence might appear unrelated at first glance, but since his 69-year-old partner is a close friend of 55-year-old Lauren – having been a part of her bachelorette celebration – it makes sense that he would be there too.

Over the years, I’ve delighted in sharing double dates with Jeff and Lauren, and I eagerly anticipate joining them at their upcoming grand affair.

The pair began their romantic journey together in August 2014, when they first crossed paths at a mutual friend’s birthday celebration in Ibiza.

Corey donned a yellow long-sleeved sweater from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter World Tour, standing in as her representative.

He finished off his appearance with a brown suede cowboy hat, loose-fitting green cargo pants, and black Off-White x Nike Air Presto sneakers.

He carried his dark suitcases, accompanied by a Louis Vuitton holdall, while he stepped onto a water cab.

Or, more colloquially:

He hauled his black bags (one of them being a fancy Louis Vuitton number) and jumped aboard a water taxi.

Corey seemed in great spirits as he joyfully raised his arm while riding in the watercraft. 

200 guests have been invited by the wealthy Amazon entrepreneur and his soon-to-be spouse for their three-day wedding in Italy, which begins on Thursday and concludes on Saturday.

On Tuesday, there was a disclosure of the couple’s invitation that contained a unique demand from them.

Instead of buying gifts for them, the hosts have requested that their guests make charitable donations to various organizations aiming to prevent Venice from sinking. They will be doing this on behalf of the attendees.

Among the esteemed attendees, I had the privilege to mingle with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kris’ cherished daughter; the captivating Leonardo DiCaprio; the legendary Mick Jagger; the influential Oprah Winfrey; the charming Orlando Bloom; and the illustrious Tom Brady.

Notable figures such as Ivanka Trump, the U.S. First Daughter, along with her family, and renowned fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg have already touched down in Venice, the City of Canals.

Bezos is worth around $224.6 billion and is thought to be spending tens of millions on his wedding.

As someone who values experiences over material possessions, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “If spending on a dreamy Venetian wedding is within your means, then shelling out extra for higher taxes might be a reality.” This way, it’s expressed in the first person and keeps the essence of the original while making it more relatable.

Greenpeace and the UK group Everyone Hates Elon have become part of demonstrations in Venice, aiming to dissuade or halt the upcoming wedding festivities of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, this week.

“In a joint statement, the two groups stated that despite Jeff Bezos being the world’s second wealthiest individual who is believed to have a low tax rate of 1.1%, he is reportedly planning an extravagant three-day wedding with a potentially $5 million wedding ring.

Representatives from the group ‘Everyone Hesitates About Elon’ commented: ‘While officials discuss tough decisions regarding funding essential public services, Jeff Bezos has the means to halt significant portions of a city for multiple days in order to hold his wedding.’

The Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, along with Regional Governor Luca Zaia, have expressed their support for the highly anticipated wedding, often referred to as ‘the wedding of the century.’ They’ve highlighted that the festivities could potentially generate between $23 million and $34 million for local businesses.

In this city, around 150,000 individuals pass through each day, as shared by Zaia with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera. Notably, celebrities such as George Clooney, François-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek, Alexandre Arnault, Elton John, and others have chosen this location for their weddings.

Jeff Bezos has additionally promised substantial charitable contributions, such as a donation of $1.16 million to Corila – a research group focused on examining the ecosystem of Venice’s lagoon – as reported by Corriere della Sera and Italy’s ANSA news agency.

This past month, banners criticizing Bezos were displayed in Venice from St. Mark’s Tower, bearing the name ‘Bezos’ in bold blue capitals and a red X mark, as part of a movement called ‘No Space for Bezos’. This was a clever reference to Bezos’ company, Blue Origin, which is involved in space travel. As a committed follower, I found this campaign intriguing and thought-provoking.
