Jeff Bezos has responded to the viral video of his fiancé meeting Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Amazon founder’s fiancé was once caught in 4K meeting the actor, and people went wild over it.
For those of you who never saw it (how did that happen?), the video was taken at a gala in Los Angeles back in 2021, which showed the former journalist seemingly fawning over the Oscar winner with Bezos, 61 today, (happy birthday!) right next to her.
She could be seen flashing a smile as she gazed up at DiCaprio.
Viewers on social media didn’t know how to act when they watched the clip, with many believing that she had her eyes set on him- even though they’re all close mates and DiCaprio had been dating his 24-year-old supermodel girlfriend Camila Morrone since 2017 at the time.

One person wrote: “She is clearly the one flirting. Leo looks uncomfortable. Get your girl in check.”
Another commented: “Bahahahahhahahaha. Leo likes his women young. So, Bezos has nothing to worry about. No one is gonna steal her bro.”
Someone else wrote: “Leo pointed his finger right in Bezos' face. Not good. She was ready to rumble right there.”
Then, this month, the trio appeared to recreate the moment while standing outside together as Lauren Sanchez stared up at DiCaprio.
After the video (which more than 17.3 million people watched) made the circulation, Bezos joked that he planned to ‘off’ DiCaprio using a cliffside.

He responded to a video of the alleged flirting on X, formerly Twitter and fans went wild.
He posted a photo of himself standing next to a sign which read: "Danger! Steep Cliff. Fatal Drop."
Then, in his caption he tagged the actor, writing: "Leo, come over here, I want to show you something.”
Of course, it’s all a bit of fun, and it’s not like the pair were actually flirting.

Commenters under Bezos’s post seemed to fully understand this was all light-hearted and played along with it in the comments.
A user replied: “Jeff, as someone who has lost many wives to handsome men, just remember: We are much wealthier and therefore, smarter than them.”
Another wrote: “the titanic didn't get him, but uncle Jeff will.”
Someone else commented: “Now i think Leo’s packages will all arrive damaged from @amazon.”
In other news, did you know that Bezos used to have a different name?

It was discovered after his biological father realised that he was the dad of the billionaire.
Born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen, Bezos’s mum, Jacklyn Gise and dad, Ted Jorgensen (a circus performer), divorced the year after he was born when he was 17 months old.
Then, in 1968, Gise went on to marry Mike Bezos and after asking Jorgensen to revoke his parental rights and allow the new husband to adopt Bezos.
At the time, he agreed as he thought it was ‘best’ for his son and the pair never reconnected again.
However, he realised that Bezos was his son after a journalist came to ask him questions about his son’s empire, and he admitted that he was proud of the life he had created for himself.
