The awkward encounter showed Bezos' girlfriend brushing up against the actor and smiling at something he said, while Bezos looked on. The three were attendees at the 10th Annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art and Film Gala presented by Gucci on Saturday.

Now with over 7.6 million views on the Twitter video alone, online users couldn’t help but laugh at the shocking scenario, with comments such as, “Leo is about to lose his Prime membership.”
Another said: "Find somebody who looks at you the way Jeff Bezos' gf looks at Leonardo DiCaprio."
In response to a question asking what DiCaprio had said to the couple in the video, a user named @BrooksRyun used a “Great Gatsby” reference to imply that Sanchez is for the streets.

After the event, Sanchez shared a picture to Instagram where she’s seen gazing at her multi-billionaire partner to put the crowd at ease. She did, however, take the time to thank DiCaprio in her caption, writing "Beautiful evening last night at the @LACMA Art + Film Gala hosted by the amazing @1evachow and @leonardodicaprio."
