Lauren Sanchez files for divorce after Bezos split finalised

TV anchor Lauren Sanchez, who is in a relationship with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, filed for divorce the day after Bezos divorce was finalised. Sanchez and talent agent Patrick Whitesell, her husband of 14 years, both filed divorce papers on April 5. They are seeking joint custody of their two kids.

The divorce of Bezos and wife MacKenzie Bezos was finalized on April 4. The billionaire pair announced they were getting divorced in January, shortly before the National Enquirer reported that Jeff Bezos and Sanchez were having an affair.

MacKenzie tweeted saying that she has given up her interests in Washington Post and Blue Origin and 75% of their Amazon stock plus voting control of her shares. She added she is grateful for the past and looks forward to the future.

He later accused the tabloids publisher of threatening to publish explicit photos of him unless he stopped investigating how the Enquirer obtained his private messages with Sanchez. Sanchez has been a news anchor and sports reporter, and hosted Fox TVs “So You Think You Can Dance.”
