How Lauren Sánchez’s Kids Played a Role in Her and Jeff Bezos’ Wedding

by

Lauren Sánchez has a new leading man in her life.

Despite marrying Jeff Bezos at their glamorous Italian wedding on June 27, the former news anchor’s two sons remained significant figures during her memorable event.

Certainly, her sons Nikko, aged 24, and Evan, 19, whom she had with former partner Tony Gonzales and ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, stood by her side as she made her way down the aisle during the extravagant ceremony, which took place on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice.

In her article, Chloe Malle from Vogue shared that instead of a traditional father-daughter walk, Lauren’s two sons will escort her down the aisle during the wedding. According to Lauren, who was interviewed on June 27, the thought of this moment brings tears to her eyes as she visualizes it.

Apart from Nikko and Evan participating in their mom’s grand wedding, Lauren’s 17-year-old daughter Ella, whom she also has with ex-partner Patrick, had the honorable role of maid of honor. In truth, she read a touching piece during the ceremony itself.

As I prepare for my upcoming wedding, I’ve embraced a unique approach: “I’m breaking the mold, marching to the beat of my own drum.” You see, I’ve never needed a dress fitting before, and the freedom that comes with it is liberating. I can’t wait to see how stunning I’ll look on the big day. It’s been such a delight helping all the children choose their outfits for this special occasion!

Approximately 200 guests graced the event with their finest attire, among them were Orlando Bloom, Eva Longoria, the Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe, Kris), Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner, as well as several others.

After their festivities lasted well into the evening on that special day, Lauren and Jeff, who made their engagement official in May 2023, emerged several hours later for a quiet meal at Harry’s bar, signifying their debut as a married couple in public.

On that special event, the award-winning news personality opted for a stylish off-the-shoulder black gown and a sun hat, while playfully waving to bystanders. On the other hand, the creator of Amazon chose a laid-back look with a brown t-shirt and coordinating pants.

Despite the thrill of soaring into the cosmos alongside the likes of Katy Perry and Gayle King aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Rocket just last month, I found myself cherishing those moments spent with my significant other more than any space-bound adventure.

She expressed to Blue Origin at the West Texas launch site that the emotions and affection within the capsule, along with seeing Jeff before she departed, left her feeling compelled to return. In essence, since they are going to get married, not returning would have been disappointing for her.
