At this point, it seems like everyone is mingling with Lauren Sanchez. Recently, she and her fiancé Jeff Bezos took a break from their glamorous yacht-filled lifestyle to have a sit-down with Pope Francis. The aim? Perhaps to extend an invite for a yacht outing.
Sanchez shared the encounter on Instagram, describing it as a “profound honor” to meet the Pope at the Vatican. She praised his “wisdom, warmth, and humor,” noting how he encouraged them not to take life too seriously, a reminder she found both simple and powerful. One can’t help but wonder if the Pope offers a similar message to all his visitors or if he tailored his words specifically for the Bezos-Sanchez duo.Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos meet Pope Francis during their visit to the Vatican

Sanchez also admired the Pope’s belief in finding beauty and purpose in all actions. She highlighted his advice for priests to engage with poetry and literature to remain attuned to the human experience. It’s intriguing to consider if the Pope’s literary recommendations are inclusive of all poets or if he prefers certain styles over others. Would avant-garde poets like Frank O’Hara be too controversial for his taste?
It’s likely that topics such as the Pope’s recent controversial statements on LGBTQ+ issues or the ethical concerns surrounding Amazon’s labor practices were left unmentioned. Similarly, the origins of Bezos and Sanchez’s relationship might not have been broached. Both the Pope and the couple share a history of substantial wealth, which might be another reason for focusing on less contentious topics like poetry.
In the end, the Pope’s inclusion in Sanchez and Bezos’s elite social circle is noteworthy. From the images shared, he appears content with his new social connections. And when you spot him socializing with other high-profile figures like Eva Longoria and Wendi Murdoch in the near future, you can bet Sanchez was the one who orchestrated the group chat.
