Jeff Bezos, 57, may be heading down the wedding aisle once again. The former Amazon CEO has stirred up rumors that he’s giving marriage a second shot after his girlfriend, former Good Day LA co-host Lauren Sanchez, 51, was spotted on June 14 wearing a heart-shaped diamond ring. If the engagement news is indeed true, it would be the latest development in the couple’s headline-making romance that started in controversy.
The public first learned of Jeff and Lauren’s relationship in January 2019. However, further reports revealed that the romance actually began at least months earlier while the two were still married to other people. After Jeff and Lauren officially split from their respective partners, they remained a couple and continued on with their romance. Now, we’re taking a detailed look at the drama that exposed Jeff and Lauren’s affair and the special moments they’ve shared together ever since.

On Jan. 10, 2019, The National Enquirer leaked racy texts and photos that Jeff sent to Lauren, effectively exposing their affair. The news broke just one day after Jeff and his wife of over 25 years and mother of his 4 children, Mackenzie Scott, 51, announced they were divorcing. Lauren, meanwhile, was still married at the time to co-CEO of Hollywood powerhouse agency WME, Patrick Whitesell, 56, who was actually responsible for Jeff and Lauren meeting. Jeff and Mackenzie finalized their billion-dollar-divorce in April 2019, the same month that Lauren and Patrick officially split. From there, Jeff and Lauren carried on with their relationship.
