Recently, the pair been spending a lot of time together on the billionaire’s new yacht, which features awooden sculpture made in the likeness of Sánchez. Attached to the ship’s prow, the design includes a necklace featuring the symbol for Koru, which is Māori for loop or coil. It’s based on the spiral shape of an unfurling silver fern frond — a symbol that is special to the couple.
Koru symbolizes new beginnings — which Bezos has cited before on his Instagram — and a new phase of life, positive change, personal growth, and hope for the future.
Bezosposted a photo of Koru on Instagram on New Year’s Dayin a slideshow of pictures from his disco party celebration.
“The new year is also a great time to take stock and focus on personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life,” he wrote at the time. “The good and the bad. All of it. Celebrate and grow.”
