The year is 2023, and many women, especially accomplished ones, will balk at the thought of losing their surnames to pick up a man’s. But not Lauren Sánchez. She is ready to take her husband’s last name and be the defending champion until death splits them. Not that anyone could blame her. After all, it’s the Bezos name.
Jeff Bezos Is in Love, But It Does Not Mean Cheaper Deliveries
Lauren Sánchez survived COVID-19, but Jeff Bezos has been taking her out. The pair started hanging out in 2019 while they were both going through a divorce.
Since then, they have come a long way, and Bezos seems smitten by Sánchez. Their love has the world’s attention as many are curious to know where it goes for the Amazon founder.
Who Is the Woman About to Become Mrs Bezos?
Lauren Sánchez is a helicopter pilot and former American TV journalist. Many may be familiar with her thanks to her time as a former co-host on Fox’s “Good Day LA” from 2011 to 2017. She has also been featured on Extra as an entertainment reporter.
She is a mother of three and has also been featured in films like “The Longest Yard,” “The Day After Tomorrow,” “Fight Club,” and “Ted 2.”
They’ve Been Engaged Since May
The former news anchor, 53, and Jeff Bezos have been engaged since May, and according to her, there are already some details she’s decided on concerning their marriage — including whether or not she will take his name.
Sánchez admitted she almost lost consciousness when the billionaire asked her to marry him.
Details About the Proposal
Sánchez, 53, has recalled the day Bezos proposed to her. According to her, the billionaire kept the ring under her pillow after they had a starlit dinner on Koru, his three-master $500 million megayacht, believed to be the tallest sailing yacht in the world.
She said: “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit.”
They Kept the Proposal Lowkey
When the Amazon founder popped the big question to Sánchez in May, they kept the proposal as private as possible. But the world pays attention to things like the 20-carat, $2.5m pink diamond ring he used to propose.
Sánchez Did Not See It Coming
They were in love, but Bezos’ proposal blindsided Sánchez. She told Vogue the proposal was so unexpected that she had already removed her makeup and was ready to go to bed when it happened.
While she may not have expected it to happen when it did, Sánchez is glad it did and is looking forward to the marriage.
Sánchez Can’t Wait to Lose Her Surname
The couple have been engaged for only a few months, but all ears, especially Sánchez’s, await the wedding bells. Plans are underway, and the bride is convinced she will take her husband’s last name.
Sánchez said: “Uh, yes, 100 percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.”
She Is in Charge of the Wedding Planning
Sánchez is planning the wedding while her partner quietly supports her. In a recent interview with Vogue, Bezos revealed that he would not be participating in their wedding planning.
“Do I really look that dumb?” he joked during the interview. Fortunately, his partner does not seem to mind doing the lion’s share of the work and is already considering options.
Who Will Design Her Wedding Dress?
Sánchez has shared some of the designers she is considering for a potential wedding dress, listing brands like Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino. However, she is still undecided about the dress.
She said, “There are so many incredible designers! Once I get a minute, I’ll slow down.”
Sánchez on the Wedding Plans
Everyone is impatient to see the wedding day. However, Sánchez says the planning has barely begun, and there is a long to-do list so far.
She said: “We’re still thinking about the wedding [and] what it’s going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don’t know yet. We’ve only been engaged five months!”
Sánchez on Being Engaged to Bezos
Jeff Bezos is currently the third richest man in the world, and being his wife will come with its fair share of ups and downs. However, Sánchez is ready for the storms and the enormous opportunities it will afford her.
In their Vogue interview, she said, “I think there are a lot of opportunities that come with that. And I take those opportunities very seriously.”
Things Bezos Loves About Her
Bezos could have any woman he wanted, but Sánchez was his choice. He admires her intuition and ability to push him to become an even better person.
Their relationship is off to a great start. And from the looks of things, it will last a long time.
