LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez may appear to be the perfect couple in public, but the origins of their relationship have continued to spark criticism and speculation.

Their romance began under controversial circumstances, with both parties still married to other people at the time.

Expert says Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez started with ‘lies, secrecy, guilt, and dishonesty’

Jeff Bezos finalized his divorce from MacKenzie Scott in January 2019, while Lauren Sanchez filed for divorce from her then-husband, Patrick Whitesell, in April that same year.

With a foundation rooted in scandal, many online believe their marriage may be built on shaky ground. Online critics have long questioned whether their union could survive its rocky beginning.

“She’s chasing vapors if she thinks he’ll stay and not cheat. No matter how much you try to make yourself look younger it was never about that,” said one Reddit user, referencing Sanchez’s cosmetic transformation.

“He was always going to cheat. Bet she got screwed in that prenup," added the user.

"Unfortunately I think you are spot on," agreed another user.

"I thought she was just in it for the money. As long as they are married and she has access to the credit card, he can cheat all he wants," predicts another user.

Relationship and behavior expert Dr Patrick Wanis believes that a relationship starting this way carries inherent risks. “They’re starting with lies, secrecy, guilt, and dishonesty, and they’re both aware of that, which can also lead to distrust of each other,” Wanis told Nicki Swift.

He noted that affairs typically stem from deeper emotional wounds such as feelings of abandonment or unmet needs.

“If those issues aren’t addressed and resolved, then they’ll likely resurface in the new relationship,” he warned. 

Patrick Wanis says the Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez bond is built in dysfunction, not clarity

According to Dr Patrick Wanis, couples who begin with affairs face unique challenges.

“Here’s the core issue: The original bond is built in dysfunction,” he told the publication. “A healthy relationship should begin with emotional integrity and clarity,” he said.

Instead, many couples like Bezos and Sanchez are pulled together by excitement and escape.

“The opposite is a relationship built on adrenaline and dopamine rushes, escape, and often unprocessed pain from their previous relationships,” Wanis said.

He explained that these relationships may mask deeper insecurities or the inability to confront past trauma.

“It could also indicate that they are seeking validation, excitement, or to be rescued, which shows they lack the maturity to resolve conflict or address their needs,” he added.

Expert says unless Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez face ‘brutal truths,’ they risk repeating the same story

Despite the red flags, Patrick Wanis believes couples like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez can succeed, but only if they are willing to do the emotional work.

“They will need to first face brutal truths,” he said. That means identifying the root causes of their cheating and owning up to their emotional needs, boundaries, and fears.

He also explained the importance of repairing their “relational blueprint,” which is shaped by past emotional patterns.

“Most people cheat because they’ve inherited a distorted model of love, intimacy, self-awareness, conflict resolution, or self-worth,” Wanis explained.

Without confronting those deeper issues, he warned, “they’re just recreating the same story in a different costume or setting.”
