Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez blow off steam at Stagecoach after Blue Origin space flight backlash

10 hours ago 3

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are saying “Yee-haw” to their haters.

The couple saddled up for a date night at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif., on Friday as they continue to face criticism for their historic all-women Blue Origin space flight.

Bezos and his fiancée were both gussied up in their finest western wear for the country music festival, photos reveal.

The Amazon founder, 61, was pictured wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of bootcut denim jeans. He paired the look with dark boots, a matching hat and black shades.

Sànchez appeared to wear a white romper and a matching set of cowgirl boots. She covered herself with a large dark jacket and wore a cowgirl hat with her partner, who she’s expected to tie the knot with in June.

The space flight took place earlier this month and quickly garnered some negative attention as many people — including stars like Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski — criticized the effort.

In an April 3 episode of “Today with Jenna & Friends,” the “Greek” actress called out the “gluttonous” flight crew for making the expensive trip while there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs.

“I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now,” Munn, 44, shared.

“If you wanna go to space, why do you need to tell us about it, you know?” Munn asked. “It’s just like, go up there, have a good time, come on down.”

Sànchez responded to critics of their 10-minute space mission in an interview with People last week, saying the negative remarks get her “fired up.”

“I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don’t just work here but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle,” she told the outlet.

“They love their work and they love the mission and it’s a big deal for them.”

Gayle King, who was also on the space flight alongside Katy Perry, NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn, added: “Anybody that’s criticizing doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”

“We can all speak to the response we’re getting from young women from young girls about what this represents,” King, 70, said.
