Lauren Sanchez celebrates 'proud mama' moment as son Nikko makes runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana

MILAN, ITALY: Jeff Bezos’ fiance Lauren Sanchez posted a "proud mama" moment on her social media handle.

The 54-year-old former journalist was present at son Nikko’s runway debut at Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2024-2025 menswear show in Milan.

“It was such a gift to watch my son @nikkogzz walking the runway for @dolcegabbana in Milan. Congrats, my love,” she wrote on Instagram. "Just a proud mama."

What did Nikko wear on his runway debut?

Nikko donned a double-breasted suit that featured a gold brooch and a buzz cut.

Various celebrities responded to Nikko's debut, with Kim Kardashian expressing, "Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!" Meanwhile, Nikko's stepmother, October Gonzalez, shared, "Yes!!!!! So 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so proud of you @nikkogzz ❤️ you."

Sanchez is also the mother of Ella, 15, and Evan, 16, whom she shares with her ex-husband and Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell.

Bezos, on the other hand, is the father of four children—three sons and one daughter—with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.

Bezos' romance with Sanchez began in 2019

Bezos and Sanchez initiated their relationship as early as 2019 but opted to maintain privacy until after his divorce was settled.

The news of Amazon boss Bezos and his then-wife MacKenzie ending their marriage was later announced on Twitter, as reported by PageSix.

“We want to make people aware of a development in our lives,” tweeted Bezos.

“As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.”

The 60-year-old continued, “We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.”

The two launched the homeless charity Day One Fund together, and Jeff in a statement said, “We’ve had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures."

He also added, “Though the labels might be different, we remain a family, and we remain cherished friends.”
