Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Suffer a Rocky Start to Their Marriage With a Devastating Update
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's newlywed bliss has come to a tragic end. The Amazon founder, 61, married his partner of six years in a luxury Italian wedding ceremony in late July, but despite a lavish European honeymoon, the time basking in their marital bliss has come to a screeching halt for personal reasons. More from SheKnows Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Are Reportedly 'Livid' About One Star's Ruthless Criticism of Their Wedding Bezos revealed via Instagram that his mother, Jacklyn 'Jackie' Gise Bezos, passed away on August 14 at the age of 78 after a years-long battle with dementia. 'After a long fight with Lewy Body Dementia, she passed away today, surrounded by so many of us who loved her — her kids, grandkids, and my dad,' he wrote alongside a lengthy tribute to his mother. 'I know she felt our love in those final moments. We were all so lucky to be in her life. I hold her safe in my heart forever.' 'Her adulthood started a little bit early when she became my mom at the tender age of 17. That couldn't have been easy, but she made it all work,' Bezos began his tender tribute. Bezos was born in 1964 to Jackie and his biological father, Ted Jorgensen. His parents separated a year after his birth and he was raised by his single mom. 'She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish,' Bezos said, referring to his stepfather, Miguel Bezos, whom she wed in 1968. They welcomed Bezos' siblings, Christina and Mark, together. 'For the rest of her life, that list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for,' he wrote. Sanchez showed love for her mother-in-law in the comments of the post, writing, 'We will miss her SO much. Love you.' She also reposted her husband's tribute to her own Instagram story with a broken heart emoji. Jackie was an early supporter of her son's now-multibillion-dollar empire, investing $300,000 in Amazon's founding in 1995, giving her and her husband 6% equity in the company, per The Guardian.

My Favorite Comfy Travel Dress Sold Out Fast—but I'm Adding This $30 Lookalike at Amazon to My Cart Instead
There's always that one piece you end up living in on a trip—something you toss into your suitcase without much thought, wear once, and then reach for again and again. For me, on a recent week in Paris, it was a $20 ribbed maxi dress from Old Navy. I packed it at the very last minute with zero expectations, but it quickly became the most-worn thing I've bought all summer. It's incredibly comfortable (nap-on-a-plane level cozy) and deceptively versatile in that elusive, throw-it-on-and-go way. And I'm not the only one who's smitten—while the Old Navy version has completely sold out, I found a lookalike at Amazon that's equally as comfortable and stylish. I especially appreciated the lightweight construction, with just the right amount of stretch—cozy enough to rival loungewear, yet with enough structure to maintain its shape after a full day (and night). I wore it with sneakers and a white denim jacket for long walks through the Tuileries and along the Seine. At night, I'd swap in wedges, add chunky jewelry, and swipe on some lipstick, et voila: a brand-new look in almost no time. One evening, we went straight from shopping along the Champs-Élysées to dinner, then over to the Eiffel Tower to catch the sparkling lights—no time to change, but the dress rose to the occasion. What really stood out was how effortless it made getting dressed feel—no small feat in Paris, where even a quick coffee run can feel like a runway moment. This timeless frock struck the perfect balance between comfort and polish. I never had to overthink it: I'd throw it on, head out the door, and somehow always look put-together. It's one of those rare unicorn pieces that feels far more expensive than it is—and works twice as hard. I loved it so much I bought it in two colors—black and brown—though I gravitate toward the brown since it pairs with everything and feels endlessly versatile. While the Old Navy version has sold out, the Amazon lookalike comes in a spectrum of shades, from lavender to rose pink to classic white. At this price, it's hard not to resist grabbing a few more. There's one caveat: at 5-foot-3, I find maxi dresses tend to run a bit long—especially with sneakers or flats. If you're a petite traveler, it might be worth getting the hem taken up. It's a small adjustment for a dress that otherwise punches well above its wallet-friendly price tag. Shoppers call this the 'best travel dress ever,' with one saying it kept them warm on the airplane and that they 'would buy it in every color.' Another chimed in: 'I bought this for a vacation and it's going to be perfect to wear and easy to pack.' Since the trip, I've worn the dress dozens of times—at least twice a week, if not more. As a busy mom of twins, I don't have the time (or energy) to overthink outfits in the morning, but I still like to feel polished and presentable. This dress checks both boxes: it's easy, comfortable, and somehow always looks like I've put in an effort. For sleek travel dresses at equally affordable prices, shop these Amazon picks and thank me later. Whether you're headed to the office or out for dinner with friends, this collared ribbed maxi nods to preppy style with its contrast trim, lapel neckline, and pleated fishtail hem. The lightweight knit keeps things breathable, even on hot days. If you prefer a frock with sleeves, look no further than this maxi dress, which features a breezy side slit that's equal parts stylish and practical for keeping cool. The soft, stretchy fabric moves with you instead of restricting, making it an easy go-to for everything from beach vacations to urban adventures. This Wenrine pick stands out for its contrast seams, which add a graphic edge to an otherwise minimalist silhouette. The ribbed knit fabric offers just the right amount of stretch, too. For a shorter option, this ribbed midi from The Drop taps into the trend without the extra length. Its sleek silhouette—complete with a side slit for extra flair—makes it an easy pick for day-to-night dressing. Additionally, it comes in a dozen colorways and sizes ranging from XXS to 5X, making it one of the most inclusive options in terms of size and style on the list. With its square neckline and contrast trim, this ribbed maxi offers a contemporary take on the classic silhouette. The strappy, form-fitting design is versatile, making it a reliable choice for everything from weekend plans to vacation nights. Love a great deal?
