The National Enquirer reported that in 2018, Jeff Bezos and former news anchor Lauren Sanchez were secretly having an affair for several months prior to the entrepreneur announcing his split from his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott. The outlet also included several text messages to support their claims. Bezos ended up confessing to the top executives at Amazon about his affair and revealed that Scott was aware of what was going on. “Just to set the record straight, I did have a relationship with this woman,” Bezos said (via the New York Post). “MacKenzie and I have had good, healthy adult conversations about it. She is fine,” he added.
According to Town & Country, Bezos and Sanchez met each other through her husband Patrick Whitesell, who is a well-known agent in Hollywood and longtime friend of the billionaire. Whitesell and Sanchez were married for 14 years before they separated and even spent a lot of time hanging out with Bezos and Scott while they were still together. In fact, back in June 2016, the Amazon CEO reportedly hired Sanchez as a pilot for his spaceflight company, Blue Origin, to help assist with photography, per Page Six.
Despite the messy start to their relationship, the couple has since come forward and been very open about their love for each other.
