“We’ll do another thing tomorrow,” Lauren Sanchez Bezos said when asked about growing her family with Jeff Bezos, but a spokesperson later had to clarify her comment.

Lauren Sanchez has a baby with Bezos on her brain.
Sanchez Bezos, who married billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in June, suggested in a new profile that she is keen to expand her blended family.
“I’ll have another baby tomorrow. I’ll have another baby tomorrow,” the 56-year-old former broadcast journalist said in an interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, April 11. When asked for an explanation, she simply repeated, “I’ll give birth tomorrow.”
The newspaper noted that several friends who are licensed helicopter pilots suggested the couple was considering it, but she answered questions with a shy smile. Later, she was contacted by a publicist who said she did not have a baby.
The new addition to the family will be the couple’s eighth child. The two have children from previous relationships. Bezos, 62, and his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott have four children, while Sanchez Bezos and her ex-husband, Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, have two children. She has another child with former NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Bezos and his wife tied the knot in a very lavish ceremony in Venice after a multi-day star-studded wedding attended by the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bezos’ fellow billionaires Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The New York Times earlier reported that President Donald Trump was also reportedly invited, but did not attend.
Lauren Sanchez Bezos talks about Bezos’ accumulation of wealth and criticism of Met Gala
The multimillion-dollar case sparked outrage both online and in person, as protests erupted in the region demanding that Blue Origin’s owners pay more taxes amid global frustration over class and wealth disparities. Sanchez Bezos continues to catch vagrants as Bezos’ wife, exuding new levels of wealth in public and on Blue Origin flights alongside Katy Perry as the billionaire’s companies, The Washington Post and Amazon, cut jobs.
Regarding criticism involving Bezos’ relationship with Trump, the award-winning television reporter said he wishes he would be more kind. “I can’t imagine writing something mean on someone’s Instagram. It actually breaks my heart,” she told the Times. “I want positive words. You look great. You’re amazing. I just want to send everyone flowers. Why not?”
And as for criticism of the couple serving as honorary chairs at May’s Met Gala, which some in the fashion world have criticized as a hijacking, she said Anna Wintour reached out directly to ask if she would support the fundraiser.
“Anna called me and I was like, ‘Who is Anna?'” she joked, calling it a “huge honour,” according to the paper.
In an email to the Times, Mr. Winter said the 2026 gala needed vibrant seating amidst the launch of the new Condé M. Nast Gallery and a “huge and complex” exhibition. “Lauren is a force,” Winter wrote. “I thought the gala needed that energy.”
Criticism of Bezos’ wealth hoarding has been leveled at her, particularly in comparison to Mackenzie Scott, the Blue Origin founder’s ex-wife, a noted do-gooder who has donated $26 billion to various causes.
Asked about Bezos’ relatively slow approach to philanthropy, Sanchez-Bezos said: “Philanthropy is a job. You have to vet everyone and make sure the money is being spent in the right way.”
