Jeff Bezos and television journalist Lauren Sánchez made their relationship public in 2019, following Bezos’ divorce from his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie. In May 2023, the couple announced their engagement.
The former Good Day LA co-host was divorcing her husband of 13 years, Patrick Whitesell, one of Hollywood’s most powerful agents, at the time of their connection.
In the months leading up to the divorce, Sánchez and Bezos had been spending more time together. Their love has grown in the years after the news surfaced, with the couple traveling on family vacations together, advocating for climate change, and piling on the PDA.
They are especially focused on their philanthropic deeds as a pair. “You can see and hear their excitement when they meet with partners on climate, education, and homelessness work,” a PEOPLE source said.
Sánchez appears to share Bezos’ fascination with space. She discussed intentions to launch into space in 2023. She indicated that she will not take off with Bezos but will instead join a female crew.
