Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez reportedly got engaged this month after years of dating, a union that would bring their respective families even closer together.
Sanchez has said in interviews that she and Bezos are "together all the time," according to a Wall Street Journal profile in January. A former news host who became a helicopter pilot, Sanchez said that she shares many common interests with Bezos, who, in addition to founding Amazon, also founded the aerospace company Blue Origin. "We fly together. We work out together," she told the WSJ.
Both have children from prior relationships. Bezos and ex-wife MacKenzie Scott have four children, though their identities have been mostly secretive, Gawker previously reported. Meanwhile, Sanchez has three children of her own.
At the time of their divorce in 2019, Bezos and Scott both said they plan to coparent their children. Bezos wrote on Twitter that he and Scott have "had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures."
After the divorce was finalized, Scott tweeted, "Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness, and looking forward to next phase as co-parents and friends."
Representatives for Jeff Bezos and the Bezos Earth Fund, the philanthropic effort where Sanchez is vice chair, did not respond to Insider's emailed requests for comment.
