Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos have gone from vacation to Vatican, taking some time out from their European jaunt to visit the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.
The couple shared some photos from their sit-down chat with Pope Francis on Thursday - calling it an 'honor' to meet and spend time with him.
Lauren, 54, cut a striking but demure figure in an all-black ensemble as she met the Pope, opting for a long black skirt which she paired with a black blazer.
The Emmy-winning journalist had her hair pulled back with some loose tresses around her face.
She accessorized with a pair of diamond earrings and a splash of simple makeup.

Her fiancé Jeff, 60, wore a black suit with a black tie and white shirt, as the couple excitedly met the 87-year-old head of the Catholic Church.
'His wisdom, warmth, and humor were deeply touching. He reminded us not to take life too seriously, a simple yet powerful reminder to keep lightness in our hearts,' Lauren captioned the series of photos.
'We also discussed the urgent need for climate action, something he's passionate about, as are all of us at the Bezos Earth Fund,' she continued.
Lauren added that Pope Francis' 'belief in finding beauty and meaning in everything we do resonated deeply with me.'
'I love that he encourages priests to read poetry and literature to stay connected with the human spirit,' she gushed.
'Grateful for this incredible blessing and the gentle wisdom he shared with us.'
Lauren and Jeff have been enjoying a European vacation all summer, posting snaps of their luxurious trip to social media.
They were photographed kissing in front of the Trevi Fountain in Rome on Tuesday night as well as enjoying a romantic dinner date.

Lauren and Jeff looked every inch the loved-up couple as they walked through the Italian capital hand-in-hand.
They walked by the Trevi Fountain, stopping to check out the incredible landmark, where the couple cheekily stole a smooch among the admiring crowd of people.
They couldn't keep their hands off each other and put on an affectionate display - with Lauren's dazzling diamond ring in full view.
The couple have been enjoying a European summer together, first spotted in Greece on their yacht in June.
Earlier this week, the billionaire and his fiancée were pictured soaking up the sun in Italy last week with an A-list cadre of guests, including Leonardo DiCaprio, his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
The celebrity couples were snapped as they disembarked from a tender boat at Nikki Beach on the island of Sardinia.
The group have been sailing around the Mediterranean aboard Jeff's Koru superyacht, which translates to 'new beginnings' in Maori.
The superyacht holds a special place for the couple, with Lauren and Jeff getting engaged there in early 2023.
