Hollywood's dramatic love triangle: Bezos, Sánchez & Whitesell
Patrick Whitesell, the former husband of Lauren Sánchez, is a well-known Hollywood agent representing stars like Ben Affleck and Amy Adams. His split from Lauren Sánchez, which unfolded amidst scandal, was the talk of the United States.
Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is a multi-billionaire and the third richest person in the world. A financial analyst who amassed a vast fortune, he was married to MacKenzie Scott for 25 years, with whom he has four children. In 2019, Bezos left his wife for a friend's 49-year-old wife, Lauren Sánchez, with whom he remains a couple to this day.
Sánchez did not remain loyal to her husband either. The journalist became involved in an affair with a wealthy businessman while being married to Patrick Whitesell. Whitesell and Sánchez married in 2005 and were together for nearly 14 years.
They informed the media of their breakup a few hours before a piece appeared in Enquire magazine, revealing Sánchez's fiery affair with a tech giant. Despite being the one to take a "side step," she managed to secure their Washington mansion, worth over $25 (£20) million, during the divorce settlement. The former couple shares joint custody of their two children - son Evan and daughter Ella.
