Billionaire Jeff Bezos Engaged To Partner Lauren Sánchez
According to reports cited by Page Six, Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez are now engaged. Currently in France for the Cannes Film Festival, the couple has been partying with A-list celebrities.
According to Page Six, rumours about the couple’s impending nuptials have been circulating for months. The main cause of the rumours is the large heart-shaped ring Sanchez allegedly wore.
In 2018, Bezos and Lauren, a former television journalist, began dating. After their relationship became public in 2019, they remained under the radar until his divorce from his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Scott, was finalized, according to Page Six. Bezos and MacKenzie are parents to four kids.
According to Page Six, MacKenzie received a divorce settlement worth $38 billion and donated half to charity. With 25% of the ex-couples Amazon joint stock as a result of the settlement, she became the third-richest woman in the world, albeit Bezos retained voting authority over her approximately 20 million shares.
Sanchez, on the other hand, declared in November 2022 that she plans to travel to space like Blue Origin’s founder. “It’ll be a great group of females,” she said of the trip’s potential crew.
She was earlier married to Patrick Whitesell with whom she shares two kids, Ella and Evan. She also shares 22-year-old son Nikko with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, reported Page Six.
By the time their relationship started, Bezos and Sánchez had both attained some sort of notoriety. Bezos was largely regarded as the richest man in the world in 2019, but Elon Musk overtook him in 2021. By that time, Bezos had founded and was serving as the CEO of Amazon, a post he held until 2021 when he resigned to concentrate on Blue Origin, his space start-up, and his charitable endeavours.
After beginning her career as a broadcast journalist, Sánchez went on to host Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance and serve as an anchor on Extra. She had established a reputation for herself in the media.
