Lauren Sánchez had a high-profile love life long before meeting Jeff Bezos.
Not only was the former news anchor married to a talent agent for 13 years, but she had relationships with multiple NFL athletes — including a Kansas City Chiefs player.
She now co-parents three children with exes Tony Gonzalez and Patrick Whitesell.
As for her current fiancé, Bezos welcomed four kids while married to his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, from 1993 to 2019.
He and Sánchez went public with their romance after his divorce, with the Amazon founder popping the question in May 2023.
Page Six breaks down Sánchez’s former flames below.
Rory Markas
Sánchez got engaged to sports broadcaster Rory Markas while interning at a Los Angeles TV station, a source told Page Six in 2019.
The insider said the former couple called it quits when Markas changed jobs.
The play-by-play announcer for the Angels baseball team died in 2010 after suffering a heart attack.
Anthony Miller
In 1996, Sánchez met now-retired Denver Broncos player Anthony Miller at the Super Bowl.
The duo dated for four years and were engaged for nearly two, calling it quits in 2000 and later accusing each other of cheating.
The former wide receiver spoke to the Daily Mail in 2019, claiming, “I kind of gave her [the ring] because she bugged me about getting married. She kept it. I didn’t say anything.”
Derek Fisher
Following her and Miller’s breakup, Sánchez was in an on-again, off-again romance with Derek Fisher.
She and the Los Angeles Lakers player were together “for a while,” a source told Page Six in 2019.
The pair have never commented on their time together.
Tony Gonzalez
Sánchez became a mom while dating Kansas City Chiefs player Tony Gonzalez, welcoming son Nikko in February 2001.
The exes maintain an amicable co-parenting dynamic, with Sánchez calling the athlete her “best friend” in a January 2023 WSJ. magazine interview.
She and Gonzalez, who is now married to wife October Gonzalez, reunited to celebrate their child’s college graduation in June 2024.
Henry Simmons
Sánchez went on to accept another proposal, this time to “NYPD Blue” star Henry Simmons.
Page Six reported in 2019 that the couple moved into a house in Manhattan Beach, Calif., together shortly before ending their engagement.
The helicopter pilot allegedly moved on with Patrick Whitesell while still living with Simmons.
Patrick Whitesell
Sánchez’s August 2005 wedding to talent agent Whitesell was a star-studded affair attended by Jennifer Garner, Matt Damon and more A-listers.
Following their nuptials, the duo went on to welcome son Evan and daughter Eleanor in 2006 and 2008, respectively.
They divorced in 2019, with each requesting joint custody and neither vying for child or spousal support.
Jeff Bezos
Sánchez and Beszos stopped hiding their romance in 2019 after he finalized his and Scott’s divorce.
In May 2023, the businessman got down on one knee with a 20-carat ring — and Sánchez said yes.
The bride-to-be detailed the proposal to Vogue six months later, saying she “blacked out a bit” at the sight of the sparkler.
The couple’s subsequent Beverly Hills engagement party was star-studded, with Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and more on their guest list.
