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:

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.

'Son of Sardaar 2' Box Office collection day 1: Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur's film mints Rs 6.75 crore; beats Triptii Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi's 'Dhadak 2' on opening day
Ajay Devgn 's much-awaited comedy-drama 'Son of Sardaar 2' finally hit cinemas on 1 August 2025 after facing several delays. A sequel to the 2012 hit 'Son of Sardaar', this instalment sees Devgn reprise his role as Jassi Randhawa in a new, love-fuelled adventure. Despite the star's strong fan following and a wide release across the country, the film had a modest start at the box office. Son Of Sardaar 2 Movie Review Modest start but fails to be 'Raid 2' According to early estimates by Sacnilk, 'Son of Sardaar 2' collected approximately Rs 6.75 crore on its first day. While the numbers aren't bad, they're not record-breaking either, especially when compared to Ajay Devgn's earlier 2025 release, 'Raid 2', which made a much stronger Rs 19.25 crore on its opening day. Occupancy on day 1 The occupancy rate for shows across India on the opening Friday was 22.56%, with night shows witnessing the highest turnout at 40.27%. Morning shows recorded just 10.24%, while the afternoon and evening shows managed 17.88% and 21.84%, respectively. 'Son of Sardaar 2' vs ' Dhadak 2 ' The film faced strong competition on its opening day from another big release—Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi 's 'Dhadak 2'. While the romantic drama collected Rs 3.35 crore on Day 1, Ajay Devgn's comedy came out on top with Rs 6.75 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo 'Son of Sardaar 2' cast In 'Son of Sardaar 2', Ajay Devgn is joined by Mrunal Thakur , who plays Rabia. This marks her first film with Ajay, and fans are already enjoying their on-screen chemistry. The film boasts a large ensemble cast that adds layers of humour and drama to the story. Ravi Kishan plays Raja, Neeru Bajwa appears as Dimple, Deepak Dobriyal takes on the role of Gul, Kubbra Sait features as Mehwish, and Chunky Panday portrays Danish. The supporting cast includes Sharat Saxena, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia , Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sahil Mehta, and Dolly Ahluwalia , who plays Jassi's mother. 'Son of Sardaar 2' movie review 'Son of Sardaar 2' received 3 stars from The Times of India. The review describes the film as a slapstick comedy with a thin plot, but filled with hilarious moments, especially in the first half, 'The slapstick comedy written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain is a standalone sequel to 2012's Son of Sardaar. The storyline maybe thin, but Jassi juggling the dual act of being a war hero and Rabia's husband doubles the chaos. India-Pakistan rivalry jokes and one-liners will keep you in splits, along with Tony and Titu trying to expose Jassi. The first half has some entertaining moments; one of them being Raja, Tony, and Titu visiting the family to finalise the wedding, where Jassi recreates the scene from Border and plays all three parts originally portrayed by Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff.' The review also points out that the second half becomes crowded with too many characters and comic tracks, 'However, as the story progresses, the plot becomes tangled and overstuffed with characters and comic tracks, though it does manages to deliver hilarity regularly. Some of the comedy misses the mark, like Jassi watching Raja's aged Russian stepmom pole dance. Routine song-and-dance sequences further drag on without advancing the plot. The climax is convoluted, predictable, and over‑dramatised.'

‘Dhadak 2' box office collection day 1: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer struggles, while Ajay Devgn's ‘Son of Sardaar 2' takes the lead; earns Rs. 3.35 crore on Friday

While both movies were expected to face tough competition from Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara,' the box office report shows that 'Dhadak 2' struggled harder than 'Son of Sardaar,' minting Rs 3.35 crore on its opening day, according to Sacnilk. 'Dhadak 2' vs 'Son Of Sardaar 2' opening day collection Ajay Devgn starrer 'Son of Sardaar 2' earned more than Rs. 6 crore on its first day, despite tough competition with 'Saiyaara' and 'Dhadak 2.'

Siddhant Chaturvedi on 'Dhadak 2' Speaking about the movie and the vision behind it, Siddhant Chaturvedi told PTI, 'It is a huge responsibility... A lot of the credit goes to our director, who from day one was very sure of what she wanted and how she wanted to tell the story, how the characters should be, and she didn't want to over-dramatise anything or oversimplify anything. She just wanted things to be as they are in reality.' About 'Dhadak 2' The movie is a remake of the Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal'and a spiritual sequel to the 2018 Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Dhadak. The movie depicts the story of Nilesh (Siddhant Chaturvedi), a law student from a marginalized community, who develops feelings for his classmate Vidhi (Triptii Dimri), who comes from an upper-caste background.

Rumors of a romance between Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have sparked controversy (Getty Images) Rumors linking pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have stirred a firestorm of controversy, drawing sharp criticism from ex-NHL player Jay Rosehill and even NFL star George Kittle. As celebrity culture and politics collide, public backlash and disturbing fan behavior are putting this narrative under fire. Jay Rosehill blasts Perry-Trudeau speculation as 'embarrassing' distraction Former NHL player Jay Rosehill didn't mince words when asked about the swirling rumors linking pop superstar Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Speaking on Leafs Morning Take, Rosehill scoffed at the speculation, saying, 'Trudeau and Perry? Are you guys serious? Let's get serious... Not really a fan of either of them, so I don't care, I guess.' Scorching Summer Takes Clearly unimpressed, Rosehill doubled down on his disdain, sarcastically adding, 'I don't keep up with stuff in the summer. I have no idea what you're talking about.
