    Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez paused their star-studded Italy trip to meet the pope.

    The helicopter pilot, 54, posted Instagram photos Thursday from their sit-down with Pope Francis.

    “It was an honor for Jeff and me to spend time with His Holiness, @franciscus at his home in the Vatican,” she wrote. “His wisdom, warmth, and humor were deeply touching.”

    Sánchez shared some of the 87-year-old’s “gentle wisdom,” writing, “He reminded us not to take life too seriously, a simple yet powerful reminder to keep lightness in our hearts.

    “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.

    “His belief in finding beauty and meaning in everything we do resonated deeply with me,” the former entertainment reporter added. “I love that he encourages priests to read poetry and literature to stay connected with the human spirit.”
