The couple, who were often spotted around Aspen, Colorado, found the city to be the “perfect location” for their long-awaited nuptials, the report said.

Sanchez, 54, meanwhile, was a media personality who was a reporter and news anchor for a wide variety of news outlets, including The View, KTTV and Fox 11.

Bezos and Sanchez began an affair that came to light in 2018 while they were both already married: Bezos to Mackenzie Scott and Sanchez to Hollywood agent and businessman Patrick Whitesell. However, Sanchez was reportedly working through a divorce with Whitesell at the time, according to the report. This eventually led to Bezos’ divorce from Scott.
