Love was in the air on Wednesday as couples strolled the campuse at annual Allen & Company conference in Sun Valley.
Most of this year’s guests emerged from the Sun Valley Lodge around 9am and were seen walking hand-in-hand with their significant other to the first session of the day, with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and her billionaire beau Bobby Kotick of Activision Blizzard leading the pack.
CBS president Les Moonves was seen soon after, leaning into his wife Julie Chen, who hosts The Talk and Big Brother for her husband’s network.
Chen seldom makes the trek to Allen & Co but may be by her husband’s side this year as he will inevitably come face-to-face with Shari Redstone, who recently filed a countersuit against Moonves claiming that he was trying to take control of the company and its board with an illegal power grab.

Stacey Bendet was back in action on Wednesday morning too, wearing her third dress of the week less than 24 hours after arriving in Idaho.
This time it was a Gwenda floral-print dress with a pussy bow in red from her own line, worn under a draped open front leather jacket in red also from Alice & Olivia.
Bendet than topped it all off with her signature oversized sunglasses and a tainbow embellished tote, also from her fashion line.
The designer, who is married to Eric Eisner, wore dresses in yellow and teal on Tuesday, driving home her belief that it is ‘all about rainbows’ and not bitcoin.
Also spotted on Wednesday were Brian Grazer with his wife Veronica, Niraj Shah of Wayfair and his wife Jill and Daniel Elk of Spotify with wife Sofia.
Bryan Lourd, Michael Ovitz, Michael Bloomberg and Francois-Henri Pinault were in Sun Valley as well, but were photographed with their respective other halves: Bruze Bozzi, Tamara Mellon, Diana Taylor and Selma Hayek.
One attendee who did bring along his lady love this year was Rupert Murdoch, who was one of the first to arrive with fourth wife Jerry Hall.
Brian Grazer and wife Veronica, Michael Lynton and wife Jamie and General Motors CEO Mary Barra with husband Anthony have been seen on campus as well this year.
