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' 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.”
