Does Lauren Sanchez have children? Jeff Bezos' girlfriend shares 'blended family' with him
The PDA between Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos has been making headlines as they enjoy their lavish Christmas vacation together. In the latest photos, the two were seen relaxing on a yacht in St Barts over the weekend.
The 57-year-old Amazon founder was seen getting flirty with Sanchez, 52, as the two lip-locked and took showers together. At one point, Sanchez hosed down the billionaire’s face as he closed his eyes. Sanchez donned a barely-there bikini with a sexy black crocheted sarong and a cream sunhat, which showed off her curves, while Bezos wore black trunks and a black cap for the day in the ocean. He chose to go shirtless to show off his buff body as he canoodled with his girlfriend.

Bezos and Sanchez have taken the vacation alongside members of their family, including Sanchez's son Nikko Gonzalez, whom she shares with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez. "Nothing better than this," she wrote on Instagram last week alongside a photograph of herself striking a pose with her son and Bezos. A source told People that the trip "was a big family celebration". "They've been together four years now, so their families are really blended at this point," added the source. "Their families are very close."
How many children does Lauren Sanchez have?
Apart from being a news reporter, entrepreneur, media personality, pilot, and actress, Sanchez is also the mother of three children: Nikko Gonzalez, Evan Whitesell, and Eleanor Patricia Whitesell. Nikko Gonzalez was born in 2001 to Sanchez and Tony Gonzalez. She shares Evan and his sister, Eleanor, with Hollywood agent, Patrick Whitesell, whom she married in 2005. Evan was born in 2006, while his sister was born in 2008.
Bezos and Sanchez got to know each other through Whitesell. Whitesell and Sanchez split in the autumn of 2018 and she grew close to Bezos after coming to work for his space company Blue Origin. In April 2019, Sanchez and Whitesell filed for divorce, which was finalized in October of that year.
In July 2019, Page Six reported that Bezos met his girlfriend’s oldest son for the first time in New York City. At the time, Sanchez was pictured with her boys, Nikko and Evan at sushi hot spot Ninja on Hudson Street. Both the boys then met Bezos. The meeting came just days after the pair went public with their relationship, when they attended the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final together, sitting in plum spots just three rows behind Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Bezos shares 50/50 custody of his four children with his ex-wife, Mackenzie Bezos. At the time, a friend of Sanchez told Page Six that they were not looking to blend the families any time soon. “They want this to happen organically, they’re not pushing anything to happen,” the friend said. “It may not be perfect, but they’re not looking for perfection. They’re happy to be moving on with their lives together. Now they can be free without worrying about anyone. The outside influences have been neutralized.”
