Lauren Sánchez, former entertainment anchor and soon-to-be wife of Jeff Bezos, had double the reason to celebrate over the weekend. Not only did she mark Bezos’ milestone 60th birthday, but her son Nikko González also made his official modeling debut during Milan Fashion Week. The 22-year-old can count on his mother’s love and support as he steps into the spotlight.
A Growing Family
Nikko is Lauren’s son from her previous marriage to former NFL tight end Tony González. In addition to Nikko, she has two other children, Evan Whitesell (17) and Eleanor Whitesell (16), whom she shares with Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. Despite the challenges of having children from different relationships, Lauren has embraced motherhood and is proud of her family’s achievements.
Shining on the Runway
Lauren took to Instagram to share her excitement and support for Nikko’s modeling debut. She posted a video clip of him walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall/Winter 2024-2025 menswear show. Nikko’s impressive features, including his golden tan, buzz cut hair, and razor-sharp jawline, were on full display. He confidently showcased a black, double-breasted blazer with matching trousers and a v-neck t-shirt adorned with an ornate gold brooch. It was a proud moment for Lauren as she watched her son shine in the fashion world.
Lauren’s post received an outpouring of love and support from her fans and celebrity friends. Kim Kardashian, among many others, expressed her excitement with multiple exclamation marks. Singer Jewel also praised Nikko’s achievement, calling it “so cool.” The comments section was filled with compliments and words of encouragement, highlighting Nikko’s talent and potential in the industry.
A Stylish Duo
In preparation for the fashion show, Lauren showcased several Dolce & Gabbana looks herself. One notable outfit was a see-through, monogram ensemble that she wore for Jeff Bezos’ birthday celebrations in Paris. The fashion-forward mother of three proved her own sense of style while supporting her son on his big day.
Alongside showcasing Nikko’s achievements, Lauren also dedicated a special Instagram post to celebrate Jeff Bezos’ 60th birthday. She shared a throwback photo of him as a toddler, capturing a charming and intimate moment. Lauren also included a recent photo of the couple, showcasing their enduring love. Her heartfelt caption expressed her love and appreciation for Jeff, wishing him a year filled with joy, peace, and endless reasons to smile.
