Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Benzos Get Engaged on $500m Yacht


Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are having a big party to mark their engagement.

A source told People magazine that the 59-year-old millionaire and the 53-year-old journalist who won an Emmy for her work celebrated their engagement on the Amalfi Coast of Italy on Wednesday.

More than two months had passed since the couple got engaged in May.

In January 2019, not long after Bezos told MacKenzie Scott that their 25-year marriage was over, he and Sánchez went public with their relationship.

At about the same time, Sánchez filed for a divorce from her husband of 13 years, Patrick Whitesell. She also has a son from a previous relationship with Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL star.

A source told the outlet soon after Bezos and Sánchez got engaged that they “are really in love and happy which makes everyone who knows them happy.”

“All of her friends say this is her dream come true. She found the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with and they felt the time was right,” the source said.

This summer, the couple was seen spending a lot of time together on a $500 million boat, where she also showed off her engagement ring.
