  • Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder, and the richest person got engaged to his girlfriend of over a year, Lauren Sanchez.
  • The pair have not revealed their engagement.
  • According to a defamation lawsuit by Sanchez's brother and Hollywood talent manager, Michael Sanchez, they have been officially engaged.
  • They started dating in 2018, however, their relationship was revealed in the media after explicit photos of Bezos and Sanchez were leaked.

Jeff Bezos is engaged to his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez. According to Daily Mail, Sanchez's brother, Michael Sanchez referred to Bezos as his sister's "fiance" in a defamation lawsuit.

Sanchez, a Hollywood talent manager, sued Jeff Bezos and his security consultant Gavin de Becker of defamation. In the lawsuit, Sanchez claimed that Bezos and his team falsely accused him of providing his explicit photos to The National Enquirer.

Expose the extramarital relationship between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez

The outlet was the first to expose the extramarital relationship between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in January 2019. The revelation led Bezos to end his decades-long marriage to MacKenzie Bezos.

The lawsuit claimed that Bezos and Lauren Sanchez had been dating for months before the photos were leaked and emphasized that Lauren had a role in leaking their intimate texts and photos.

The court document state:

While Mr de Becker's initial a s serted theory was that Mr. Sanchez had sold out his sister for $200,000, Mr de Becker soon realized this theory would not hold up because, among other reasons, it was inconceivable that Mr. Sanchez would ruin his relationship with his sister and her current fiance, the richest man in the world, for financial gain

It was only a small section of his lawsuit where he referred to Bezos as Lauren's "current fiance." Meanwhile, Lauren Sanchez was snapped wearing a large ring on her ring finger right hand while they were vacationing in St Barth.

The Amazon boss, however, hasn't revealed his engagement to his girlfriend for more than a year. Bezos and Sanchez were first rumored to be dating in January 2019 and were first spotted together in the public in May 2019.
