He’s one of the richest people on the planet, but he’s had to deal with his own fair share of problems just like the rest of us.
After a messy divorce, Jeff Bezos has been spending his time with new squeeze Lauren Sanchez. While the couple seem pretty loved-up, they’ve faced their fair share of internet ridicule in recent times- especially because of THAT New Year’s Eve photo.
Here’s the lowdown.
Jeff Bezos Girlfriend
Despite her own career as a TV personality and entertainment reporter, Lauren Sanchez is best known for being Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend.
She started off her career as a desk assistant at KCOP-TV in LA. From here, she joined the ranks of the Fox network, and earned herself multiple Emmy nominations for Fox Sports Net. She also became a co-host on Fox’s Good Day LA.
While she still makes the odd appearance on Fox, Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend has been focusing on working behind the camera instead.

Frank Lampard Net Worth: The lowdown
She’s a qualified helicopter pilot, and she’s become a pro at filming from the air. This encouraged her to start her own aviation filming company called Black Ops Aviation, which she founded in 2016. She’s a busy lady!
As if all of that wasn’t enough, Lauren Sanchez is also a mum to three kids; Niko, Evan and Ella. Niko was born when she was dating NFL star Tony Gonzalez, while Evan and Ella came along while she was married to celebrity agent Patrick Whitesell. They divorced in 2018.
But Jeff Bezos was already in the picture at this point…
New Romance
Apparently Patrick Whitesell was the person that first introduced Lauren and Jeff.
While both parties were married at the time, it didn’t stop the pair from getting super close- and even Jeff’s own employees noticed something was going on.
Company execs saw a LOT of money being spent with Lauren’s company Black Ops Aviation, and he hired her to help him with some filming for his space enterprise:
“It was another unfathomable shift to contemplate because as they all knew, Jeff Bezos hated helicopters.”

Francis Boulle: What is the MIC star’s net worth?
Rumours began to speculate after a photo emerged of Jeff and Lauren enjoying a cosy meal together.
It was also rumoured that the Amazon boss quickly made his divorce announcement as more pictures of him and his mistress were about to leak.
Lauren was also forced to come clean to her husband, and the Fox presenter started publicly dating Jeff immediately after their divorces were finalised.
Billion Dollar Bae
Given their status, it’s not great surprise that the couple are rarely out of the press these days. But the internet hasn’t exactly been kind to them as of late.
Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend ended up causing a bit of a stir when she showed off a few snaps from her recent NYE party.
“We had so much fun last night celebrating with a crazy disco party with family, but the new year is also a great time to take stock…paying careful attention to each moment of your life.”
However, it seemed that the entire internet was more interested in what Jeff was wearing…

Matt Damon Net Worth: How much cash does the A-lister have?
Jeff Bezos was dressed in white chinos, a patterned shirt, and some heart-shaped sunglasses for good measure.
This led to a LOT of mocking, and the picture went viral.
One social media user wrote:
“Speaking as a middle-aged divorce guy, I implore my fellow middle-aged divorce guys not to post their middle-aged divorce guy pics”.
Another said:
“Jeff Bezos inches closer to becoming Pitbull”.
Ouch.
The couple were also a source of ridicule at the end of 2021.
A video emerged of Lauren practically thirsting over Leonardo DiCaprio, leaving Jeff standing awkwardly on his own.
We can’t really blame you Lauren…
