Lauren Sanchez Bezos has admitted that she would gladly welcome the opportunity to have a child with her husband, Jeff Bezos, confessing that her desire to expand their family is so great, she would get pregnant as soon as “tomorrow.”
The 56-year-old former on-air correspondent, who tied the knot with Bezos, 62, in a multiday event in Venice, Italy, in June 2025, opened up about her desire to have another child while speaking with The New York Times.
When asked whether she and the Amazon billionaire—who already share seven children between them—are considering trying for a baby, Lauren was quick to make her enthusiasm clear.
“I would have another one tomorrow. Tomorrow,” she said. “I would have another baby tomorrow.”
Such was her eagerness that the Times noted that Lauren’s spokesperson later called to clarify that she and Jeff are not currently expecting.
However, Lauren didn’t hold back when talking about her marriage and the blissful life that she is leading with her husband, admitting to the publication that they spend almost every minute of the day together, from starting their mornings with a coffee inside their opulent mansion on Miami’s “Billionaire Bunker” to working out together.
Mornings inside their expansive estate—which they are currently living in while their other manse on Indian Creek Island is being built—begin by exchanging a gratitude list, then continue by watching the sunrise. They drink their coffee from joke mugs they bought each other: Lauren’s reads “Woke Up Sexy as Hell Again,” while Jeff’s has “HUNK” spelled out in periodic elements.
“I talk about everything with him. Everything! Jeff is my best friend, and I don’t say that lightly,” Lauren gushed.
The couple will soon have a little more private time on their hands when the youngest of Lauren’s kids, daughter Ella Whitesell, moves out of the family home to attend college later this year—a bittersweet moment that the mother of three previously admitted leaves her in tears any time she thinks about it.
While Jeff and his former spouse, MacKenzie Scott, have largely kept the lives of their four children under wraps, only revealing the name of their eldest kid, son Preston, Lauren has been more open about her relationship with her own children.
During a recent interview with the “Today” show, she opened up to anchor Craig Melvin about her relationship with her kids: elder son Nikko Gonzalez, 25, whose father is NFL star Tony Gonzalez, and son Evan Whitesell and daughter Ella, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell.
The mother of three confessed to Melvin that, while she wasn’t worried at all when her two sons packed their bags, it’s a very different matter when it comes to her daughter.
“When my boys went to college, I was like, ‘Let’s move along, let’s get out of the house.’ Literally, both of them. One is graduated, one is in college right now,” she said. But “my daughter is leaving, and I went to dinner with her the other night, and I started talking about her going to college, and I just started crying.”
However, Ella did not respond to her mother’s emotional outburst in quite the way Lauren had been expecting.
“I thought she was going to be like, ‘Mom, are you OK?’ She started laughing at me. She was like, ‘You’re not ready for this.’ I am so not ready for this,” she revealed. “I was like, ‘That’s a teenage girl right there.'”
When asked by Melvin how she feels about becoming an empty nester, the proud mom joked that she’s decided to rebrand the experience, admitting that she’s not the biggest fan of that phrase.
“I don’t like saying ’empty nester.’ I have a new word for it. I like ‘egg launcher’ or ‘bird launcher’—maybe a bird launcher is a little bit better,” she said.
While Lauren has not shared details about which college her daughter is due to attend, she did express her excitement for Ella, describing her as the “artist in the family.”
“I am really excited for her, she’s the artist in the family, and I can’t wait to see her go,” she added.
The family nest is located on the exclusive enclave of Indian Creek Island, and is regularly referred to as Miami’s “Billionaire Bunker,” where they count the likes of Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner as neighbors.
Though Jeff had spent many years based out of the tony Seattle suburb of Medina, he and Lauren announced in 2023 that they were moving their primary residence to Florida, explaining at the time that the Amazon founder wished to be closer to his parents.
Jeff has built himself quite an impressive compound on Indian Creek Island, where he has bought up three separate dwellings over several years.
The first two properties—an adjacent pair of mansions that sit on the west side of the island—were bought in 2023 for $68 million and $79 million, respectively, according to property records.
According to reports, the third property is being used by Jeff and his wife as their primary residence while workers raze the other two homes to make way for the couple’s dream marital compound.
But until that work is completed, Jeff has made sure that their temporary accommodations are up to snuff as far as luxury is concerned, going above and beyond to transform his third “Billionaire Bunker” abode.
Jeff has carried out a significant overhaul of the interior and exterior of his Mediterranean mansion, transforming the 1.84-acre plot into a veritable oasis with the help of professional arborists who have planted a plethora of exotic trees throughout the back and front yards.
Meanwhile, the property’s garage has been transformed into a private gym—with the original door to the structure removed to make way for new industrial-strength doors that cost upward of $100,000.
Inside the dwelling itself, multiple aesthetic renovations have been carried out, as well as several structural changes to the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems.
It is unclear how long work on his other two dwellings will take. However, the scope of the work suggests that it could well take several years before the newly constructed megamansion is completed.
Jeff has been hard at work on building his perfect marital abode on Indian Creek Island since 2023, when he and his wife announced they were relocating their primary residence from Washington to Florida, citing a desire to be closer to the billionaire’s family.
He has, however, retained several residences in Washington state, where he has largely been based in the tony Seattle suburb of Medina, which is also home to the likes of Bill Gates and former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi.
Four years after he founded Amazon, Jeff and his wife at the time, Scott, spent $10 million buying up two homes on a 5-acre plot in the town of Hunts Point. In 2010, they reportedly spent an additional $28 million to extensively renovate the estate, which boasts 310 feet of private shoreline and a private boathouse.
To maximize space (and privacy), Jeff also purchased an adjacent property that same year—a 24,000-square-foot mansion that was reportedly listed for $53 million. It is unclear whether the Amazon CEO paid that hefty sum or snagged a discount.
That home would ultimately serve as the business mogul’s primary residence for the next decade until 2023, when he announced his move to Florida.
Though he still holds the keys to much of his Seattle property portfolio, Jeff did offload one home in April of this year, selling it for an astonishing $63 million, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal.
Jeff made a very hefty profit on the sale of the 9,240-square-foot home, having purchased it for $37.5 million in 2019, the same year he divorced his first wife.
His impressive property portfolio also includes an extraordinary dwelling in Washington, DC, which he purchased for $23 million in 2017, as well as a huge pied-à-terre in New York City that he bought for $16 million in 2020.
The billionaire actually owns $80 million worth of units in the same Manhattan building, including a three-story penthouse and two apartments on the level right below it. In 2019, building permits were filed to combine the units.
On the West Coast, he owns an enormous Beverly Hills megamansion, which he purchased from music mogul David Geffen for $165 million in 2020.
That dwelling recently served as the location for reality TV mogul Kris Jenner‘s 70th birthday party, which saw the likes of Oprah, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mariah Carey in attendance.
