Lauren Sanchez parties with friends on Jeff Bezos’ yacht
They’re seeing red.
Lauren Sanchez assembled a star-studded squad of friends on fiance Jeff Bezos’ superyacht, the Koru, in St. Barts ahead of her 54th birthday Tuesday.
“The day before my birthday I’m overwhelmed with love and gratitude to be celebrating with these incredible women who are such a big part of my life…These women are not just friends, I consider them family,” the former journalist captioned a photo on Instagram.
Meet Sanchez’s power crew of entrepreneurs, actresses and philanthropists — almost all of whom, like Sanchez, have a very powerful man in their corner.
Lydia Kives
Kives, 35, is married to Michael Kives, one of Hollywood’s best-connected men.
A Bill Clinton aide-turned CAA super-agent who represented Bruce Willis and Katy Perry, he is now an investor — although he is being sued for $700m over his links to fallen crypto-tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried.
The couple married in 2019 — she is a Stanford-educated attorney — after a friend set them up on a blind date in Los Angeles, Vogue reported, and now have two children.
The Kives, Bezos and Sanchez vacationed jointly in 2019 just after news of the Amazon founder’s affair with Sanchez broke.
Nurse Jamie Sherrill
Sherrill, a Hollywood skincare expert who goes by Nurse Jamie, has worked with stars like Kyle Richards, Paris Hilton and Khloe Kardashian — and like Sanchez has a TV career.
She owns the Santa Monica medical spa Beauty Park and is the producer of her Netflix plastic surgery show “Skin Decision.”
The 51-year-old mom of triplets also has a line of anti-aging skincare products and beauty tools.
Elena Sanchez Blair
Sanchez’s younger sister Elena Sanchez Blair, 41, keeps a much lower profile than her older sibling.
The Seattle-based former nurse is a mom of four, now working as a family and newborn professional photographer .
The two have a close relationship despite a 13-year age gap. The older Sanchez sister has called her younger sibling “her best friend,” and a “second mother” to her three children.
Elsa Collins
Collins, 43, is married to Jarron Collins, an NBA center who has become a coach after retiring. She grew up in Mexico and met Collins at Stanfordl. They now have four children.
A native of Tijuana, she co-founded This is About Humanity, which campaigns for families separated at the border; Sanchez donated $1 million in 2022.
She and Sanchez play pickleball together.
Veronica Grazer
Grazer, 50, is married to Hollywood and TV producer Brian Grazer. She became his third wife in Santa Monica in 2016 in a ceremony with Oprah Winfrey and Bob Iger in attendance.
Her husband and Bezos have moved in the same circles since Amazon moved into TV and movies, while she is a founding partner of a financial technology app aimed at helping low income families.
October Gonzalez
The actress, 43, known for roles in “Modern Family,” “The View” and “Play It Forward,” married former NFL star Tony Gonzalez, a former tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, in 2007.
