Lauren Sánchez clasped her new husband Jeff Bezos’ hand as the pair arrived at his mother Jacklyn’s funeral Friday.

In photos obtained by Page Six, the former journalist supported the Amazon CEO at the West Miami memorial service at Caballero Rivero Westchester funeral home. The pair stepped out of an SUV and walked hand-in-hand into the private service.

Sánchez, 55, wore a dark blue blazer and long black skirt paired with black heels, while wearing her hair in an elaborate updo. Her husband, meanwhile, wore a traditional black suit and matching shoes.

Both kept a low profile, wearing sunglasses and somber expressions.

Bezos’ mother, Jacklyn Bezos, died on Aug. 14 after a protracted battle with dementia. She was 78.

“After a long fight with Lewy Body Dementia, she passed away today, surrounded by so many of us who loved her — her kids, grandkids, and my dad,” the Amazon magnate wrote in an Instagram tribute at the time.

“I know she felt our love in those final moments. We were all so lucky to be in her life. I hold her safe in my heart forever.” Jeff also noted that it “couldn’t have been easy” for his mother, who became Jeff’s mom “at the tender age of 17.”

He added, “She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish. For the rest of her life, that list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for.”

“I love you, mom,” he concluded the post, adding screenshots of her obituary — along with a photo of his mother and stepfather.

Jacklyn, who helped her son launch Amazon with a nearly $250,000 investment in 1995, married Jeff’s stepfather, Miguel Bezos, in 1968. Together, they welcomed his siblings, Christina and Mark.

Jeff’s wife took to her Instagram Stories the same day to repost an announcement of Jacklyn’s death, alongside a broken heart emoji.

Two months prior to laying his mother to rest, Jeff married Sánchez in a star-studded multi-day celebration in Venice, Italy.

The pair exchanged vows on June 27, with stars including Tom Brady, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey in attendance.
