Jeff Bezos' mistress files for divorce - Washington Examiner

Lauren Sanchez, who was reported to be having an affair with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, filed for divorce Friday, just a day after Bezos and his wife finalized their divorce.

The Los Angeles-based news anchor, 49, and her husband of 14 years, Patrick Whitesell, both filled out the paperwork. The pair will be seeking joint custody of their two children, who are 13 and 11. Sanchez also has an 18-year-old son with former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez.

The pair confirmed that they had already separated at the time the affair between Sanchez and Bezos took place.

MacKenzie Bezos announced she had finalized her divorce from her husband Thursday, tweeting out a statement saying Jeff Bezos keeps 75% of the company's shares and full control of the Washington Post.

In January, the National Enquirer informed the Amazon CEO of an impending expose of intimate text messages he exchanged with Sanchez.

“I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon," he said in one text from April 2018. A month later, he wrote: “I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight .… I want to kiss your lips …. I love you. I am in love with you.”

It later emerged that Sanchez's brother Michael had leaked the texts.
