Their Relationship Was Officiated Via An Exposé
The blossoming relationship between Lauren and Jeff Bezos came out in a very shocking manner. A news outlet National Enquirer ran a story which detailed the origin of their relationship which was too explicit. The two started seeing each other when they both were married to their respective partners. The new love birds shared steamy texts and pictures. In one of the raunchy texts, he said to her that he misses her and wants to tuck her gently in addition to “maybe in the morning wake you up and not be quite so gentle with you.”
Jeff clarified the scenario and equation after the explosive Enquirer story. He confessed, “Just to set the record straight, I did have a relationship with this woman”. Bezos said that the story was published out of context. He continued, “But the story is completely wrong and out of order. MacKenzie and I have had good, healthy adult conversations about it.”
Jeff said, “She is fine. The kids are fine. The media is having a field day. All of this is very distracting, so thank you for being focused on the business.”
