Lauren Sánchez Ensures Her Three Children Had a Special Role in Wedding to Jeff Bezos

Lauren Sánchez made sure her wedding to Jeff Bezos was a family affair, with her three children playing meaningful roles in the ceremony.

According to Vogue on Friday, June 27, Sánchez, 55, was walked down the aisle by her sons, Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19. Her daughter, Ella, 17, served as maid of honor and wore a tailored Dolce & Gabbana suit. Ella also gave a reading during the ceremony.

“Ella’s original; she beats to her own drum,” Sánchez said of her daughter’s unique wedding look. “She had never had a fitting before, and she loved it. She’s going to look amazing. Dressing all the kids has been the most fun.”

Sánchez shares Nikko with ex-boyfriend and former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, whom she dated in the early 2000s. They split a year after his birth in 2001. She shares Evan and Ella with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell.

Prior to the wedding, the family celebrated Evan’s birthday on Sunday, June 22, with a foam party aboard their superyacht.

It remains unclear whether Bezos’ four children — three sons and one daughter with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott — took part in the ceremony. Bezos and Scott announced their separation in 2019 after 25 years of marriage.

Sánchez and Bezos maintained a mostly private relationship until their engagement was revealed in 2023. She made a rare public tribute to Bezos for his 60th birthday, writing on Instagram:

“Look who’s turning 60! Happy birthday, baby! 🎉 Today is another day where your laughter fills our home, and that smile of yours lights up every room… I hope each day brings you countless reasons to smile, just like you give me a reason to smile every single day. Love you, and happy birthday, my love. ❤️🤍❤️”

The couple arrived in Venice on Thursday, June 26, ahead of the ceremony, joined by a star-studded guest list including Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, Khloé and Kim Kardashian, and Leonardo DiCaprio with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti.

Following the wedding, Sánchez updated her Instagram profile to reflect her new name — Lauren Sánchez Bezos — and wiped her feed, leaving only one photo from the big day. The caption read: “06/27/2025 ♥️,” accompanying a picture of the smiling couple surrounded by clapping guests.

One attendee described the ceremony to Us Weekly as “really beautiful and low-key” and “not over the top at all.”
