Lauren Sánchez expanded her family when she tied the knot with Jeff Bezos in 2025.
During their wedding in Venice, Sánchez carefully assigned significant roles to her three children: her sons escorted her during the ceremony, and her daughter took on the role of maid of honor.
In the early 2000s, Camila Sánchez was in a relationship with Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL player. They had a son named Nikko in 2001, but split up the following year. Later, in 2005, Sánchez married Patrick Whitesell and they had two children together – Evan in 2006 and Ella in 2008. Unfortunately, their marriage also ended. It’s worth noting that Jeff Bezos, her current partner, has four children with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
On an average Saturday, we spend time together and share meals with our children,” Sánchez shared with The Wall Street Journal in 2023 about their mixed family with Bezos. “This is exciting because it’s unpredictable where the conversation might lead with so many kids around.

Tony Gonzalez
Although Gonzalez and Sánchez separated in 2002, they’ve managed to maintain a cordial relationship as they co-parent their son Nikko. Since then, Gonzalez has gotten married to his current wife, October Gonzalez.
She shared to The Wall Street Journal in 2023, “Tony and his wife are my dearest friends.” She added, “Our friendship wasn’t always like this. There were tensions initially. However, Tony and Tobie joined us for Thanksgiving this year, and now we have a wonderful friendship.
Sánchez pointed out that it required roughly five years for the co-parenting families to reach their current state.
She emphasized that having your ex as a best friend isn’t necessarily a must, but effective communication is essential. She expressed her pride, stating, ‘I feel so proud when I see my son looking at me and saying, ‘I am the most fortunate boy in the world because I get to celebrate Thanksgiving with both my parents, and they don’t have to be married.’
