How did Jeff Bezos meet Lauren Sanchez? Relationship explored as latter opens up on 30 carat diamond proposal

Lauren Sanchez recently spoke to Vogue for the December issue and recalled the moment when Jeff Bezos proposed to her. The duo never revealed anything about how they first met, but Brad Stone wrote in his book Amazon Unbound that they were linked at an Amazon Studios party held in 2016 for the film Manchester by the Sea.

Sanchez revealed in her latest interview that she "blacked out a bit" when Bezos popped the question. The price of the ring was reportedly somewhere between $3 million and $5 million, and Bezos hid it under Sanchez's pillow.

Lauren and Jeff got engaged in May this year after being romantically linked in 2019. Before their engagement, they were spotted together on a few occasions, including a vacation in France and the premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon at the Cannes Film Festival.
