- Lauren Sánchez celebrates her eldest son Nikko's college graduation.
- Sánchez maintains a friendly co-parenting relationship with her ex, Tony Gonzalez.
Lauren Sánchez celebrated her eldest child Nikko's college graduation on Thursday with a touching Instagram post.
"Really emotional day for me," the Emmy-winning news anchor and philanthropist fiancée of Jeff Bezos wrote.
"My firstborn graduated from college today! My heart is overflowing with pride for this incredible young man. It seems like yesterday your dad and I were carrying you in our arms."
In one image, the philanthropist can be seen holding a toddler-aged Nikko, while in another picture, Nikko and dad Tony Gonzalez, the former NFL tight end, smile for the camera.
"I just want you to know how immensely proud I am of you for achieving this milestone," Sánchez added. "This is just the beginning, Nikko, and I hope you continue chasing your dreams with relentless originality. I love you so much."
Sanchez has maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship with her ex, Tony Gonzalez since their split. Gonzalez is a former star NFL tight end who played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons.
Sanchez, Gonzalez, and his wife October are often seen socializing together, and are so close that Gonzalez was even on Bezos' $500 million superyacht together with the newly-engaged couple, Page Six reported.
After having Nikko, now 23, with Gonzalez, Sánchez had two more children — Evan, 17, and Ella, 16 — with her Hollywood executive ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell.
Sánchez has often praised her eldest son on social media.
In January, Sánchez expressed her excitement at watching Nikko make his runway debut in Dolce & Gabbana's Fall/Winter 2024-2025 menswear show in Milan.
