Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez were pictured packing on some PDA while on vacation in St. Barts this week.
Bezos, 57, and Sanchez, 51, were photographed on a hike with a small group of people, but the pair only appeared to have eyes for each other as they held hands and canoodled.
Both dressed in sportswear and sneakers, they stopped to enjoy the view and share some kisses, during which Sanchez appeared to cop a feel on Bezos’ behind.
As they continued their hike, Bezos slung an arm around Sanchez’s shoulders as they kept up the PDA.

Sanchez was dressed to sweat for the outing, wearing a pair of black shorts and a matching low-cut crop top, as well as a pair of white sneakers.
Prepared for temperature fluctuations, she also had a white sweater tied around her hips.
Even dressed up for a hike, she piled on accessories as well, including a white baseball cap, stacked bracelets, a moon necklace, and enormous diamond stud earrings.
Her Amazon founder beau, meanwhile, appeared to go from the beach to the trail and was wearing a black T-shirt with a pair of zebra striped shorts that looked like swim trunks.
He, too, wore a baseball cap and blocked out the sun with a pair of sunglasses.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in January 2019, were quite handsy while communing with nature.
At one point, Bezos and Sanchez stopped to take a bit of a break on a bench, on which they sat side-by side.
Sanchez leaned up against Bezos, resting one of her hands on his thigh, while he wrapped his right arm around her shoulders.

Bezos and Sanchez have vacationed together in St. Barts before. In 2019, they were joined by Sanchez’s son, Nikko Gonzalez, 20.
Bezos, who is estimated to be worth $210 billion, is the second richest man in the world after Tesla owner Elon Musk who recently knocked him off the top spot with a fortune of $276.2 billion compared to Bezos’s $203.9 billion, according to Forbes.
He has made several highly-publicized donations since stepping down as CEO of Amazon in July, including to the Obama Foundation and Baby2Baby.
Just prior to Thanksgiving, he donated $100 million to the Obama Foundation, the largest ever to the charity. The Obama Foundation gift represents less than 0.1 percent Bezos’ estimated $210 billion fortune.
As part of the gift, Bezos asked that the plaza at the Obama Presidential Center be renamed John Lewis Plaza, after the late congressman and civil rights leader who spent decades fighting for voting rights.
Earlier in November, he pledged almost $100 million to groups working to end homelessness.

He also attended a fundraising dinner at the Pacific Design Center in Hollywood in November where he donated $500,000. It was hosted by the Los Angeles-based Baby2Baby charity, which provides diapers, clothing and basic necessities to children living in poverty.
The charity features a host of celebrity ambassadors, including Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Adams, and Jessica Alba, among others.
In September, standing alongside climate envoy John Kerry, Bezos pledged $1 billion from his coffers to fight climate change through the Bezos Earth Fund foundation.
The Amazon owner first became a billionaire in 1998, the year after Amazon went public as an online bookseller and has since increased his fortune by 12,425 per cent — now raking in more than $140,000 per minute.
Nearly 90 per cent of his wealth is tied up in his 10 per cent stake in Amazon — with each share currently worth $3,540.70 — with the rest of his money invested into other avenues such as Blue Origin and property.
However, he has previously faced criticism for lagging behind fellow billionaires, such as Bill and Melinda Gates, and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in his charitable donations.
Despite the promise of massive donations, Bezos has given around $1.5 billion in actual funds, less than one per cent of his $203.9 billion wealth.
In comparison, the Gates’ have donated more than a third of their wealth, while Bloomberg has shelled out more than 10 percent.
