Fact Check: Watch out for digitally-edited photo of Lauren Sánchez
Claim: A picture authentically depicts journalist Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos' fiancee, with large lips and cheekbones enhanced by plastic surgery. Rating: In late May 2025, an allegedly authentic image of former news anchor Lauren Sánchez, billionaire Jeff Bezos' fiancee and founder of aerial film company Black Ops Aviation, circulated widely online. The picture spread on X, Threads and Facebook. Similar pictures purporting to show Sánchez's plastic surgery alterations also spread online. (X user @DailyLoud) However, this image is fake — as are the related pictures above. A comparison with legitimate photos of Sánchez on Getty Images credited to several different photographers show that the fake picture circulating greatly exaggerates her actual lips and cheekbones. Someone either digitally edited the image or used artificial intelligence to generate it — or both. Here is the original image that the digitally-altered image appears based on, per Getty Images: Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos attend the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Getty Images) It is unclear who made the image; a reverse image search largely returned the authentic image, rather than the altered one, making the source of the image difficult to determine. Snopes reached out to Daily Loud, one of the largest X accounts posting the fake picture, to ask about the origins of the picture. This story will be updated if they respond. It is worth noting the "before" picture that often accompanies the digitally altered image of Sánchez appears to be an authentic photo of her from 2003. Legitimate pictures of Sánchez which the other digitally altered pictures appear based on are also available on Getty Images here and here. Snopes often fact-checks fake and altered images of well-known people; see, for example, our story on an edited image of tech billionaire Elon Musk's chest and a fact-check debunking an image of United Healthcare CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione allegedly wearing a "Sailor Moon" costume from the popular Japanese manga.

Simu Liu announces engagement to Allison Hsu following Paris proposal
Simu Liu has announced his engagement to longtime partner Allison Hsu, sharing the news via Instagram. The actor, best known for his lead role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, revealed the romantic Paris proposal with a series of candid photographs featuring Hsu displaying her engagement ring. The 36-year-old Marvel star captioned one image, 'From weekends in Paris, day trips to Palm Springs, long nights on set, afternoons vegging on the couch and everything in between, I choose you forever and always.' In response, Hsu commented, 'I love you fiancé!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Hsu also posted her own message alongside the announcement: 'Us forever.' The photos show the couple embracing with the Eiffel Tower in the background, adding a personal touch to the public reveal. Liu and Hsu, a marketing director, were first romantically linked in late 2022. Since then, Liu has spoken openly about their relationship, expressing his gratitude and happiness. Speaking to PEOPLE in August 2023, Liu said, 'She's absolutely changed my life, so I'm very, very grateful to have her.' In a later interview, he reflected on their connection, saying, 'It's this feeling of 'Oh, right, it does exist.''

Liu's fans have followed their journey closely on social media. Currently filming the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release in 2026, Liu noted that despite his demanding schedule, he finds strength in their partnership. 'I feel challenged and loved and cared for, and I feel championed,' he said.
