Lauren Sánchez calls herself a ‘proud mama’ as she praises son Nikko’s runway debut
Lauren Sánchez couldn’t help but gush over her son’s runway debut.
The proud mom rushed to social media Saturday to praise her 22-year-old son Nikko Gonzalez, whom she shares with her ex and former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, for strutting down the runway.
“Just a proud mama,” the 54-year-old captioned an Instagram video of her son making his 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,” Jeff Bezos’ fiancée added. “Congrats, my love.”
Nikko looked dapper in a double-breasted suit that featured a gold brooch, as well as a buzz cut.
It wasn’t long before celebs flocked to the comments section of Sánchez’s post to congratulate Nikko on his runway debut.
Sánchez’s pal Kim Kardashian wrote, “Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!”
While Nikko’s step-mom October Gonzalez commented, “Yes!!!!! So 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so proud of you @nikkogzz ❤️ you.”
Sánchez and Bezos, 60, were both in attendance at the fashion show.
In addition to Nikko, Sánchez is also a proud mom to Ella, 15, and Evan, 16, whom she shares with her ex-husband and Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell.
Bezos, for his part, shares four kids — three sons and one daughter — with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
While the Amazon founder is well-known across the globe, his children’s lives are very much private as only his eldest son Preston’s name is publicly known.
Sánchez and Bezos have been inseparable since they started dating in 2018.

Page Six confirmed that the couple’s love story kickstarted in 2019, but the duo kept a low profile until his divorce from his wife of 25 years was finalized.
Rumors of the pair’s engagement first began to swirl in December 2019, when Sánchez was seen wearing a huge heart-shaped sparkler.
The former “Extra” anchor debuted her $2.5 million 20-carat engagement ring on her partner’s $500 million yacht nearly five years later.
The pair recently announced that they are trading Seattle, where Bezos built his empire, for the picturesque ocean views of Miami to be nearer to his loved ones.
