People Perplexed by Lauren Sánchez's Daughter's Recent Appearance – What Do All 3 of Her Kids Look Like?

Each of the former journalist's children played a part in her special celebration with the Amazon billionaire. Learn more about the kids who come from different fathers.

Lauren Sanchez recently tied the knot with Jeff Bezos in a ceremony that brought their families together in a heartfelt way. With Jeff arriving with four children from his earlier marriage and Sanchez with three of her own, the event marked the start of a new, blended chapter.

Now, take a closer look at Lauren's two sons and daughter — and see how each of them has grown over the years.

Nikko Gonzalez, 24

Lauren's eldest child, Nikko, was born in February 2001. She welcomed him with her former partner, retired NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez.

Although their relationship ended soon after Nikko's birth, Lauren and Tony have remained on good terms while raising their son.

In June 2020, Tony, a California native, marked one of his child's milestones with a proud message on Instagram.

Sharing a photo of the two together, he wrote:

"That's my boy! Ahead of his graduation I just want to s/o my son @nikkogzz and say how proud I am of him. Today and every day! Congrats to all of the other graduates out there as well."

Moments like that reflect their strong father-son bond. The two often share thrilling experiences, from walking red carpets to skydiving. Lauren, too, has expressed deep pride in Nikko. In 2024, she celebrated his appearance on the Dolce & Gabbana runway in January and his college graduation in May.

She expressed deep pride in Nikko's accomplishments, calling him incredible and encouraging him to keep pursuing his dreams with passion and originality.

Alongside the praise Lauren shared, others online had thoughts of their own after seeing recent photos of Nikko. Some wondered if he had undergone cosmetic procedures.

One person wrote, "He got lip filler too." Another asked, "Does the tall son inject his lips?" Another comment read, "And other plastic surgery jobs." Someone else added, "May be natural. Looks like his dad."

Evan Whitesell, 19

Lauren's second child, Evan, was born in June 2006 during her marriage to businessman Patrick Whitesell. The couple, who wed in 2005, remained together until 2019.

Early on, Lauren chose to keep Evan's life more private. While she occasionally shared glimpses of family moments online, she often kept his face out of view.

Ella Whitesell, 17

Lauren and her former husband welcomed their only daughter together, Eleanor Patricia — known as Ella — in January 2008. Lauren and Ella share a special interest in flying. The former TV host once revealed that all three of her children, including Ella, have taken flight lessons, a hobby Lauren has enjoyed for many years.

Now a teenager, Ella caught the attention of online users who shared remarks about her appearance. One wrote, "She's a pretty girl!" while another said, "She's a cutie." Others called her a "very beautiful young lady" and added, "Her daughter is beautiful." Someone also remarked, "She seems pleasant."

At the same time, a few were surprised to learn about her. One person said, "Never knew she had a daughter!" while another shared, "I didn't know she had a kid."

One comment read, "Did not know she had a daughter. She only mentioned 2 sons. Whose the father? [sic]" A more blunt observation came from someone who said, "Daughter looks as old as mother."

Lauren's Three Children Joined Her Wedding Celebration in Italy

More recently, Ella joined her two older brothers as part of Lauren's wedding to Jeff. The ceremony, held in Venice, Italy, was a three-day celebration that brought the entire family together.

Before the event, Lauren shared that both of her sons would walk her down the aisle. She also revealed that Ella would stand beside her as maid of honor, calling her the right-hand woman for the special day.

The 17-year-old's role didn't end with standing beside her mom. She also had to speak during the ceremony, delivering a reading in front of a crowd filled with celebrities.

For the big day, Ella turned to Dolce & Gabbana for her outfit — just like her brothers and mom. Lauren proudly said her daughter was going to "look amazing" in the suit. "It has been the most fun dressing all the kids," she added. With everyone dressed to impress, the wedding reportedly went smoothly on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.

Lauren and Jeff made their relationship known in January 2019. That announcement came shortly after the Blue Origin CEO shared news of his divorce from MacKenzie Scott, his wife of 25 years and the mother of his four children.

Around the same time, Lauren was also ending her own marriage. She and Patrick, her husband of 13 years, finalized their divorce in October 2019, noting they had worked with a mediator to settle everything.

They agreed to share joint physical custody of their two children. Dividing property was simple, thanks to a prenuptial agreement, per reports. Their divorce paperwork was nearly complete when another legal update made headlines. Just one day before Lauren and Patrick filed, Jeff had finalized his own split from MacKenzie.

As part of the settlement, MacKenzie kept $38.3 billion worth of shares in Jeff's company. She also planned to give away half of it through the Giving Pledge, a promise made by some of the world's wealthiest people to donate half of their wealth.

With that settlement, MacKenzie became the 23rd richest person in the world, based on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. After the financial details were made public, both MacKenzie and Jeff shared their thoughts online.

MacKenzie posted on Twitter, saying, "Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness, and looking forward to the next phase as co-parents and friends."

Jeff also used Twitter to acknowledge the end of their marriage. He said, "I'm so grateful to all my friends and family for reaching out with encouragement and love. It means more than you know. MacKenzie most of all." Following their respectful separation, Jeff and Lauren moved forward in their relationship, spending time together and with their families.

They have traveled, spoken up about climate issues, and often shown affection in public. In a birthday message for her love in 2023, Lauren called Jeff "the man of my dreams" and said he lights up her world with his laughter and kind heart. She added that he had shown her "that no great love is not bravely fought for."

She continued, "I am so grateful for the memories we have made and the adventures yet to come. Here's to many more birthdays filled with love and laughter." Lauren has continued to stand by his side in other areas of life as well.

Since stepping down as Amazon's CEO in February 2021, Jeff has spent more time on his space company, Blue Origin, and his conservation work. Lauren has supported him through it all. Together, they lead the Bezos Earth Fund, which aims to fight climate change. She also serves as the fund's co-chair.

Lauren and Jeff Bezos' wedding brought together their children from past relationships in a meaningful way. Her three kids, Nikko, Evan, and Ella, each played a special role during the celebration in Italy. Over the years, the couple has blended their families while continuing their shared work on important causes.
