Lauren Sánchez through the years: Her evolution in photos

Lauren Sánchez rose to prominence in 2019 when her relationship with Jeff Bezos became public, but her journey to becoming known as the future wife of the Amazon mogul started much earlier. Prior to this high-profile relationship, Sánchez was already a familiar face on the red carpet, a seasoned TV news anchor, and someone who regularly mingled with A-list celebrities.
