Lauren Sánchez, 55, recently shared a rare family photo in celebration of Mother’s Day, featuring her three children—Nikko (24), Evan (18), and Ella (17). Alongside the heartfelt image, she wrote: “Thank you for picking me as your mama! Best day ever. My whole world in one frame.”

Sánchez co-parents her eldest son, Nikko Gonzalez, with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez. Her younger children, Evan and Ella, are from her previous marriage to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. She is currently engaged to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who has four children from his marriage to author MacKenzie Scott.

Lauren Sánchez's children each bring their own personality and achievements to her blended family with Bezos.

Nikko Gonzalez, 24, was born in February 2001. He maintains a close relationship with both parents and has stepped into the spotlight himself—recently walking for Dolce & Gabbana in January 2024. He also graduated from university in May 2024, with Sánchez posting on Instagram: "My heart is overflowing with pride for this incredible young man… I'm immensely proud of you for achieving this milestone."

Evan Whitesell, 18, was born in June 2006 at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica. Following Sánchez's 2019 divorce from Patrick Whitesell, the two share joint custody. While Sánchez keeps Evan’s life relatively private, she has shared moments such as a 2022 trip to Japan.

Ella Whitesell, born Eleanor Patricia in January 2008, turned 16 earlier this year. Sánchez marked the occasion with a touching tribute: "I can't believe you are already 16… In your quiet strength, you've grown, not with loud fanfares, but with the gentle grace of a sunrise."

In other news, Sánchez and Bezos are reportedly set to tie the knot in Italy next month, from June 24 to June 26, 2026. The wedding is expected to be one of the most talked-about events of the year, with an estimated guest list of around 200 high-profile attendees.

According to The Sun, the wedding will take place at a stunning open-air theater on a Venetian island. A People report in March confirmed that invitations have already been sent, with names like Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Karlie Kloss, and Joshua Kushner on the list. Other reported guests include Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Katy Perry.

In a recent Daily Mail report, it was claimed that music icons Lady Gaga and Elton John have been hired to perform at the star-studded celebration.
