Meet Lauren Sánchez's children Nikko Gonzalez, Evan and Ella Whitesell: All about her three kids with ex-boyfriend and ex-husband
After dating for a few years, billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez are officially husband and wife. The couple (finally) tied the knot in a dreamy Italian wedding on June 27, 2025, and now all eyes are not just on the power couple but also on their newly blended, high-profile family.
Together, they now share seven children: Bezos' four kids with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, and Sánchez's three children from previous relationships.
Let's have a look at Lauren Sánchez's three children and family life — because they aren't just her kids, but they each also have their own spotlight-worthy stories:
1.

Lauren became a mom for the first time in 2001 when she welcomed her son Nikko Gonzalez with former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Although their romance didn't last, the Lauren and Tony remained friendly co-parents — and it clearly worked. Nikko has grown up in a world of red carpets, fashion shows, and adrenaline-fueled fun.
From skydiving with his dad to strutting the runway for Dolce & Gabbana in January 2024, Nikko is no stranger to the glam life. And he's got brains too — he graduated college in May 2024, a proud moment for the whole blended fam.

October Gonzalez, Tony's wife, often shares heartwarming snaps of their tight-knit crew, proving that modern families can be fabulous and functional.
2. Evan Whitesell: The private gentleman
In 2005, Lauren tied the knot with Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, and their first child together, Evan, was born in June 2006. Their marriage lasted for roughly 13 years, as Lauren and Patrick split in 2019. The former couple chose to co-parent with grace — and privacy.
Evan lives a relatively low-key life compared to his older half-brother Nikko. Lauren does post occasional glimpses of him on social media, but his face is rarely shown, hinting that he prefers life outside the spotlight.
3. Ella Whitesell: The future pilot?
During her marriage with Patrick Whitesell, Lauren also welcomed her second child with him-- daughter Eleanor Patricia 'Ella' Whitesell. Ella was born in January 2008, and she is Lauren's youngest child — and quite possibly her mini-me.
The two share a passion for flying, which is no surprise considering Lauren is a trained helicopter pilot herself.
In a past interview with The Hollywood Reporter, expressing her love for the skies, Lauren had said, 'When I'm up there, I'm completely satisfied. I'm like, 'This is where I need to be.'' And from the looks of it, little Ella may just be gearing up to follow in her mom's sky-high footsteps.
From red carpets and co-parenting wins to sky-high dreams and Italian weddings, Lauren Sánchez's kids are growing up in a world where love, luxury, and adventure meet — and we're just getting started watching their journey unfold.

Ranbir, Riddhima and Neetu Kapoor After marking her on-screen debut with a reality web series last year, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is now set to step into the world of cinema with her first feature film. What makes this project even more special is that she shares the screen with her mother, veteran actress Neetu Kapoor. The two recently wrapped up a 40-day shoot in the scenic town of Mashobra near Shimla – an experience Riddhima says brought them closer than ever. Riddhima Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor on the sets of their film 'Mom and I would start our mornings together with chai and breakfast' Shooting for her debut film was an emotional experience. 'Mom and I live in different cities. But during the shoot, we lived under the same roof for over a month. We'd start our mornings with chai and breakfast, go to set together. It was an emotional and joyful time. The last time we spent this much uninterrupted time together was when my daughter Samara was born. Even though we live apart, we're in touch every day,' shares Riddhima. 'I would send Ranbir photos of my looks and clips from scenes' As she stepped into this new chapter, Riddhima turned to her brother, Ranbir Kapoor , for guidance. 'Ranbir was really excited when he found out I was doing a film,' she says. 'I'd send him photos of my looks and clips from scenes, just to get his opinion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It also made me remember some of the stories that dad (Rishi Kapoor) would tell us about his own time on set.

'The last time I cried openly was when dad passed away' The yet-untitled film, which also stars Kapil Sharma and Sadia Khateeb, includes a particularly poignant scene between the mother-daughter duo – a moment that left a lasting emotional imprint on both mother and daughter. 'I can't reveal our characters just yet, but the film is a roller coaster of emotions. There's one scene in particular that really moved me. I'm not someone who cries easily or publicly. When something hurts, I usually retreat, cry in private and come back composed. The last time I cried openly was when dad passed away. But this scene – without any glycerine – just broke me. The emotions were so real, and my mom was shaken seeing me like that,' she says.
