In January 2019, Bezos and Scott released a joint statement in which they shared that "after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends."
Hours after the pair had broken the news of their split, multiple outlets reported that Bezos had allegedly been secretly dating former Good Day L.A. co-host Lauren Sanchez.
It was nearly four months later, in April 2019, that Bezos and Scott took to Twitter to announce that they had finalized their divorce. And just one day later, Sanchez and her then-husband Patrick Whitesell filed papers to officially end their marriage, which was settled in October.
As for where Sanchez and Bezos stand now? Following their respective divorces, Bezos and Sanchez have gone public with their romance and are still on. In fact, the duo were spotted on a double date with former couple Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian in April 2022.
