She couldn’t hide her happiness: “He is a wonderful man. I will be with him for the rest of my life. He loves my children very much. And that’s really what I’m looking forward to the most.”
Billionaire Jeff Bezos proposes to Lauren Sánchez in 2023Sánchez, 54, has three children: son Nikko, 23, with ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez, son Evan, 18, and daughter Ella, 16, with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. The helicopter pilot and billionaire Jeff Bezos, 60, went public with their relationship in 2019. Four years later, the Amazon founder got down on one knee and proposed. Bezos’ fiancée shared their proposal story with Vogue in November 2023.
“When he opened the box, I think I fainted for a moment,” she said of seeing her cushion-cut diamond ring. Sánchez added: “We’re still thinking about the wedding, what it’s going to be like. Will it be big? Will it be overseas? We don’t know yet.”
Despite focusing on the release of her children’s book, “The Fly Who Flew to Space,” Sánchez said she’s thinking about getting married soon.
Lauren Sánchez gets funny when asked about ring bearerWhen “Extra” host Billy Bush jokingly offered to be her ring bearer, Sánchez replied, “Oh, that’s cool. That’s cool. I’m looking for someone.” The “excited” former broadcaster did not provide further details on the date or location of her and Bezos’ wedding.
The entrepreneur was previously married to MacKenzie Scott and has three children together. Sánchez referred to their blended family as “Brady Brunch” in an interview with WSJ in January 2023.
“On a typical Saturday, we hang out, have dinner with the kids, which is always fun because you never know where the conversation is going to go with that many kids,” she said. Sánchez and Bezos were both present at their eldest son’s college graduation in June.
