Lauren Sánchez Called Out for ‘Terrifying' Rumored Plastic Surgery Procedures Before Her Wedding to Jeff Bezos
Lauren Sánchez is about to walk down the aisle with one of the richest men in the world, and people still seem to be fixated on whether she's had any plastic surgery done. The former news anchor has had quite the transformation over the years. Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos started dating in 2018 and became engaged in 2023. 'We love to be together and we love to work together. We fly together. We work out together. We're together all the time,' Sánchez told the Wall Street Journal about their private romance. The two have been spotted together on red carpets like the Met Gala and the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. More from StyleCaster Jeff Bezos' Response to Rumors He Cheated on His Ex-Wife With Lauren Sanchez-& How Amazon Employees Discovered the Alleged Affair Lauren Sanchez's Net Worth Revealed-Here's How Much She Could Gain From Jeff Bezos After His Ex-Wife's $38 Billion PaydayHowever, Sánchez's recent appearances have raised the eyebrows of many netizens after they saw pictures of her 20 years ago compared to now. Some people have speculated that she's gotten so much plastic surgery that she became unrecognizable. 'She's genuinely so terrifying-looking!' a Reddit user wrote. 'She was gorgeous before surgeries, so I truly don't understand. She ruined her face. I guess it doesn't matter when you nabbed one of the richest men on earth but still. She looks like Jigsaw.' Lauren Sánchez has not publicly confirmed or commented on getting plastic surgery. However, many doctors and plastic surgery experts have pointed out the apparent procedures that she has undergone. During Donald Trump's inauguration, Dr. Koppelman told the Daily Mail that she allegedly undergone a facelift and what gave it away was her ears. 'It's called the pixie deformity. It's actually something you want to avoid in their face lifting because it doesn't look natural, it looks weird,' the doctor said. He also said that she's likely gotten Botox around the mouth, as well as a lesser-known procedure involving permanent lip filler rather than dissolvable injectables, most surgeons use. Just two months before her extravagant wedding with the Amazon founder, plastic surgeons told the Daily Mail that she's undergone even more procedures. Dr Timothy Katzen, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, told the gossip site, 'With the neck, it gets thinner, you can see it loses fat and sags a bit, but this doesn't happen with other areas. So I think she had something injected into her face – either filler, fat, or cheek implants.' 'She's not showing a lot of signs of aging, and she's 55 years old. So I don't think it's just olive oil and facial creams she's had,' plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie said in an Instagram clip. However, he stressed, 'Although Lauren has had some plastic surgery, I don't think she's had plastic surgery from A to Z. But Jeff Bezos clearly likes it. So as long as they're happy, that's all that really matters.'

Believe it or not, Jake Paul is now a ranked boxer and eligible to fight for a world title
Jake Paul, left, defeated Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision Saturday at Honda Center. The former YouTube influencer is now 12-1 with 7 knockouts and ranked by the World Boxing Association. (Etienne Laurent / Associated Press) Jake Paul was a child actor. He was once primarily known as a YouTube influencer. When he started boxing, he was seen largely as a novelty act who didn't face serious fighters. As of Monday night, however, Paul is ranked by the World Boxing Assn. And as impossible as it may have sounded in the not-so-distant past, that makes him eligible to fight for a world title. Advertisement "I've worked hard to get here but there is nothing to celebrate," Paul wrote on X after the WBA listed him at No. 14 in the latest edition of its cruiserweight rankings. "Long road ahead and I'm more committed to it every single day. I may veer off the path now and again, but being a world champion is my desired ultimate destination." The ranking came days after Paul's victory by unanimous decision over former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr., the most accomplished opponent the former Disney Channel "Bizaardvark" star has faced en route to a 12-1 record with 7 knockouts in a boxing career that has spanned less than seven years. Read more: Win over Chávez makes Jake Paul feel like a real fighter and not just a YouTuber During much of that time, Paul's opponents included fellow YouTubers, an NBA player and several mixed martial artists. In the fall, he defeated then-58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a bout that peaked at 65 million concurrent streams on Netfilix and netted a record gate of $18,117,072 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Advertisement Paul's only loss came in 2023 against Tommy Fury, a professional boxer and reality TV star. He reflected on that fight Saturday night after his win over Chávez. 'I don't think I was a fighter at the time," Paul told reporters. "I was barely 2½ years into the sport. I didn't really know what I was doing. I didn't have the right equipment around me, the right conditioning. My lifestyle outside of the ring was still like that of a YouTuber, a famous actor or whatever it was at that point in time. I wasn't completely focused on boxing. '... People still hold the Tommy Fury fight against me, but now I've beaten a former world champion and I'm coming to collect on that loss to Tommy.' The current WBA cruiserweight champion is Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramírez, who was on the same bill as Paul last weekend and defeated Yuniel Dorticos in a close but unanimous decision. During the postfight news conference, Paul and Ramírez stared each other down. Advertisement 'I want tougher fighters. I want to be a world champion,' Paul told reporters. 'Zurdo looked slow ... tonight. That'd be easy work, too.' Get the best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond from our newsletter The Sports Report.
