Lauren Sanchez is getting set to marry the third richest man on earth, Jeff Bezos, and she’s not the only one who appears to be relishing in new beginnings.
The American media personality is a proud mom to her three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Ella, Evan and her oldest son, Nikko Gonzalez.
The latter is living the highlife and while he previously stayed out of the spotlight, since his mom’s romance with the Amazon founder was made public, he’s upped his anty on Instagram.
Nikko, 22, is Lauren’s son from her relationship with NFL star Tony Gonzalez. Her other two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are from her marriage to Hollywood powerhouse, Patrick Whitesell.
Nikko has plastered his social media feed with photos of himself jet-setting to tropical locations, partying with friends, swimming with sharks and learning to fly helicopters.
While he hasn’t revealed his career on Instagram, Lauren’s handsome offspring seems driven to enjoy life and it appears he’s a fan of his step-father-to-be too.
His father, Tony, also approves and the group have all been photographed out together multiple times with Lauren describing their blended family in a rare interview with The Wall Street Journal’s WSJ magazine.
She opened up about their relationship and how a typical Saturday includes going out for dinner with the kids, and referred to the family as “the Brady Bunch”.
Nikko has been photographed vacationing with his mom and Jeff in the past too, although he’s absent from their current European getaway.
Although Jeff and Lauren don’t have any 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren together, they have seven kids between them.
Jeff and Lauren stepped into the limelight as a couple in January 2019, amidst Jeff’s’ divorce proceedings with MacKenzie Scott, after 25 years of marriage.
The former couple’s son, Preston, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 seven years into their marriage. He is the only one of their four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren whose name is publicly known.
While they went on to become proud parents of two more sons, their names and ages have been thoughtfully kept private.
They also opened their hearts to their adopted daughter from China. As they decided to part ways, they committed to co-parenting their brood in harmony.
Their joint statement read, “Though the labels might be different, we remain a family.”
Lauren has remained on good terms with Nikko’s dad – and his partner October Gonzalez – so much so that she referred to the couple as her “best friends” in a January 2023 WSJ. Magazine interview.
Lauren married Patrick in August 2005, marking the start of another chapter in her life. Patrick, who interestingly was friends with Jeff, and Lauren welcomed their son, Evan, in June 2006, nearly a year after their marriage.
In January 2008, their daughter, Ella, joined the family. The former couple parted ways in 2018 and officially divorced in October 2019. Patrick has since found love in Australian model Pia Miller.
