My first inkling that I might be wrong came from the subhead’s description of Bezos and Sánchez as “one of the most philanthropic couples in the world.” Sanchez said Bezos will be “cheering us all on from the sidelines” when she takes her turn aboard the New Shepard spaceship.I’ll admit that before reading the Wall Street Journal piece, I had written off Bezos and Sánchez as just another disgustingly wealthy couple who dabbled in charitable giving to distract from inconvenient facts - in this case, that they bought their superyacht its own yacht, even as Amazon employees alleged that they were forced to pee in bottles to meet their delivery quotas. Two years later, Bezos took a ride on Blue Origin’s first crewed spaceflight with Sanchez watching from the wings. The relationship between Sanchez and Bezos - and Bezos’ divorce from his wife MacKenzie Scott - fueled a wave of tabloid stories in 2019. Sanchez discussed the space mission, her experience as a helicopter pilot and a media producer - and her relationship with Bezos - in a wide-ranging interview published today by WSJ. And she plans to bring an all-female crew with her on the mission, which she hopes will take place by early 2024. Lauren Sanchez is planning to follow in the footsteps of her billionaire boyfriend, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, by taking a trip aboard the suborbital rocket ship built by Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture. Lauren Sanchez, in the white dress, is flanked by Blue Origin personnel as she tours the West Texas landing pad after her boyfriend Jeff Bezos’ flight on Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital spaceship in July 2021.
