Who Is Lauren Sánchez's Ex-Husband? All About Talent Executive Patrick Whitesell
Lauren Sánchez and Patrick Whitesell were married for 14 years and welcomed two children together before their 2019 divorce Whitesell is a Hollywood talent agent and executive He married model Pia Whitesell in 2021Lauren Sánchez's wedding to Jeff Bezos is taking place on June 27 — but it's not her first trip down the aisle. The former Good Day L.A. co-host was previously married to Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell. The pair wed in August 2005 and went on to welcome two children, Evan and Ella. Sánchez also has a son named Nikko, whom she welcomed with NFL player Tony Gonzalez. Sánchez and Whitesell eventually filed for divorce in April 2019 — just a few months after PEOPLE confirmed that she and Bezos were dating. Whitesell is now married to model Pia Whitesell. They tied the knot in 2021 and share a blended family, which includes Pia's two sons from previous relationships. So, who is Lauren Sánchez's ex-husband? Here's everything to know about Patrick Whitesell and his relationship with the former TV host. Whitesell was born in Iowa Falls, Iowa. He was raised by his parents, Jack and Patricia, and is the youngest of their six sons, according to The Athletic. His oldest brother, John, is a TV and film director, while his second-oldest brother, Christopher, is a Daytime Emmy-winning TV writer. Tom, the third son, is a Los Angeles banking executive, and Jim, the fourth son, is a college basketball coach. Meanwhile, Sean, the second youngest Whitesell brother, was a TV producer, actor and writer of series like House and Cold Case. He died in 2015 at age 52 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. The youngest Whitesell brother graduated from Luther College in 1987 before starting his career in the InterTalent mailroom, per Bloomberg. He went on to become an agent at United Talent Agency (UTA) and eventually led the talent department at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). In 2001, he joined talent agency Endeavor, bringing along several celebrity clients including Drew Barrymore, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston, per The New York Times. Eight years later, he helped orchestrate the company's 2009 merger with William Morris Agency. Whitesell also launched a yet-to-be-named media company in March 2025, per Variety. Whitesell and Sánchez married in 2005. Although they announced their separation in January 2019, they continued living together. 'Over the last two or three years, their marriage felt more like a business relationship,' an insider told PEOPLE at the time. Whitesell and Sánchez officially filed for divorce in April 2019 and reached a settlement that October. During their marriage, Whitesell and Sánchez welcomed two children. Their son, Evan, was born in June 2006, while their daughter, Eleanor "Ella" Patricia, arrived in January 2008. Sánchez is also a mom to son Nikko from her relationship with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. Whitesell and Sánchez have largely kept their children off their social media accounts. Occasionally, though, the mom of three will share about her kids online. In November 2021, Sánchez shared a photo with Ella and Evan on a hike and wrote 'Love these precious moments" in the caption. Whitesell married Pia, an Australian actress and model, in 2021. The couple made their first public appearance together at the 2019 Casamigos Halloween party. Pia has two sons, Lennox and Isaiah, from previous relationships, but she also isn't shy about showing her love for Whitesell's children. In May 2025, she and Whitesell attended Evan's high school graduation. "CONGRATULATIONS EVAN!!" she wrote on her Instagram Stories about the event. "We love you so much 🤍 @evan_whitesell ✨." In February 2025, Pia also gave her husband a sweet birthday shout-out on Instagram. "Here's to many more years of laughter, love, and making incredible memories. We love you deeply," she wrote. "You've worked so hard, loved so deeply, and led with such GRACE. I Love you always." Read the original article on People

Prince Harry Makes Surprise N.Y.C. Summit Appearance and Opens Up About His Journey from Duty to Purpose
Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the NEXUS Global Summit in New York City on June 27 The Duke of Sussex shared his journey of service; being born into a life of service, but moving from having to serve to wanting to serve He also urged others to use their platforms for something "greater than ourselves"Prince Harry is back in New York City. On Friday, June 27, the Duke of Sussex, 40, stepped out in N.Y.C. as a featured speaker at the 2025 NEXUS Global Summit, where he addressed a group of next-generation philanthropists and impact investors. Harry hit the stage for a fireside chat titled "Building Tomorrow: A Conversation on Service, Impact & Collective Action with Prince Harry," in conversation with Rachel Gerrol, co-founder and CEO of NEXUS. Reflecting on his personal evolution, Prince Harry, 40, spoke about being born into a life of service, but moving from having to serve to wanting to serve. During his remarks, he emphasized the mission of the Archewell Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Meghan Markle, as being rooted in "compassionate leadership" and a commitment to "something greater than ourselves." He encouraged the group to "take care of each other and our children in the future" and "tackle the systems instead of the symptoms keeping us down." He also urged the group to consider what they want their own legacies to be, align their investments with that vision and use their platforms to foster meaningful collaboration and change. Harry and Meghan launched the Archewell Foundation in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles, with a mission to 'Show Up, Do Good.' The 2025 NEXUS Global Summit takes place in New York City from June 26 to 28, bringing together 350 of the world's leading next-gen philanthropists, impact investors and social innovators. According to a statement, the event aims to unite these changemakers to "bring about solutions to the most pressing problems of a generation." This year's summit centers on the theme 'Brave Voices and Bold Ideas,' with discussions spanning mental health, AI and technology for good, climate change, impact investing, and more. Several of the key topics—mental health, digital responsibility, and conservation—align closely with Prince Harry's long-standing philanthropic priorities. Other notable speakers at the event include Christy Turlington and Emma Bloomberg. Harry's latest trip took him across the country from his California home, where he lives with Meghan and their children Prince Archie, 6 and Princess Lilibet, 4. The Duke of Sussex last stepped out in New York City on April 23, when he supported Meghan, 43, at the TIME100 Summit. There, the Duchess of Sussex hit the stage to discuss the juggle of her commercial ventures, as her As ever lifestyle brand, With Love, Meghan series on Netflix and Confessions of a Female Founder podcast all debuted this spring. In a candid confession during her panel, Meghan said that she was "the happiest I've ever been." "A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is that I'm the happiest I've ever been," she said in conversation with TIME CEO Jessica Sibley. "To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful...I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do." Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! While Prince Harry didn't join Meghan on stage then, they posed for photos together at the event and shared a kiss behind the scenes in a video she shared to Instagram the following day.
