Αμαλία Κωστοπούλου – Jake Medwell: Η πρώτη φωτογραφία με τις βέρες στα χέρια τους μετά τον κρυφό γάμο

Nov 15, 2025

, Jake Medwell, χωρίς να το γνωρίζει κανείς από την οικογένειά της ( δείτε εδώ βίντεο ), καθώς είναι μια στιγμή που ήθελε να μοιράζεται μόνο με τον σύζυγό της, ενώ θα ακολουθήσει και θρησκευτικός γάμος με όλα τους τα αγαπημένα πρόσωπα, το καλοκαίρι του 2026. Έχει μοιραστεί διάφορες φωτογραφίες και βίντεο στα social media της από το bachelorette party της, τον αρραβώνα τους και όλα όσα έχουν να κάνουν με αυτό το νέο κεφάλαιο της ζωής τους, ωστόσο μόλις την Παρασκευή 14 Νοεμβρίου, δημοσίευσε στον προσωπικό της λογαριασμό στο Instagram την πρώτη φωτογραφία με τις βέρες τους. Η φωτογραφία της Αμαλίας Κωστοπούλου και του Jake Medwell με τις βέρες τους Ανέβασε κάποιες φωτογραφίες από όλο τον Οκτώβρη της, ανάμεσα στις οποίες ξεχώρισε εκείνη όπου πόζαρε δίπλα στον καλό της, με τους δυο τους να δείχνουν τα χέρια τους και τις βέρες τους. Ακολούθησε, βέβαια, και ένα ακόμη τρυφερό κλικ τους όπου αγκαλιάζονταν σφιχτά σε βραδινή τους έξοδο. «October filled my heart, and then some more 🫀», έγραψε στην λεζάντα της ανάρτησής της. Ποιος είναι ο δαιμόνιος επιχειρηματίας που έκλεψε την καρδιά της Αμαλίας Κωστοπούλου Ο Jake Medwell, γεννημένος το 1988, είναι ένας επιτυχημένος Αμερικανός επενδυτής και επιχειρηματίας, γνωστός στον χώρο των startups και της τεχνολογίας. Από νεαρή ηλικία έδειξε το επιχειρηματικό του ταλέντο: το 2007 ίδρυσε την Kairos Society, έναν οργανισμό που στηρίζει νεαρούς επιχειρηματίες παγκοσμίως. Σπουδάζοντας στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Νότιας Καλιφόρνιας (USC), δημιούργησε το 2009 τη Solé Bicycles, εταιρεία σχεδιασμού ποδηλάτων με ιδιαίτερη αισθητική. Αργότερα, συνίδρυσε την Humin, μια εφαρμογή διαχείρισης επαφών που εξαγοράστηκε από το Tinder, ενώ το 2015 ίδρυσε τη venture capital εταιρεία 8VC, με έδρα τη Silicon Valley, που ειδικεύεται σε επενδύσεις στην εφοδιαστική αλυσίδα και στις τεχνολογίες logistics. Η δράση του δεν περιορίστηκε εκεί: το 2018 συμμετείχε στην ίδρυση της Baton, εταιρείας που εξαγοράστηκε από τη Ryder, ενώ το 2020, μέσα στην πανδημία, συνίδρυσε την Operation Masks, μια φιλανθρωπική πρωτοβουλία που προσέφερε εκατομμύρια μάσκες και ιατρικό εξοπλισμό σε νοσοκομεία και φορείς.
