It's been a turbulent two-and-a-half years for Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez.
In January 2019, the bombshell news broke that the Amazon CEO and his wife, MacKenzie, were getting a divorce after 25 years of marriage. Hours later, we learned that Bezos was in a relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a TV host and helicopter pilot who, along with her husband, had been friends with the Bezoses.
Despite a tumultuous few months that involved leaked texts, blackmail, a billion-dollar divorce, and maybe even interference from the Saudi Arabian government, Bezos and Sanchez are still going strong.
When Bezos embarked on his high-profile trip to the edge of space, Sanchez was in attendance, greeting him with a hug when he landed back on Earth.
