Lauren Sánchez is sharing a glimpse inside her blended family trip to Japan with fiancé Jeff Bezos.

In a series of photos posted to Instagram on April 7, The Fly Who Flew to Space author, 54, shared an inside look at the activities she enjoyed with her kids and the Amazon founder, 60, during their vacation. 

Sánchez shares son Nikko, 23, with her ex, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez; and son Evan, 17, and daughter Ella, 16, with her ex-husband, businessman Patrick Whitesell

From marveling at the cherry blossom trees in bloom to soaking in the dazzling lights of Tokyo Tower, the family made sure to see as many sights as they could. 

One snap of the group shows Sánchez sitting down cross legged beside her kids as they face a large window in an open room. The award-winning journalist captured another scene of her hitting the gym with her kids in a different image.

She also included a shot of the group walking through the streets arm in arm as the cherry blossom trees surround them.

While she does celebrate special moments and milestones with her younger children, she tends to keep them out of the spotlight and rarely shows their faces on social media. However, her older son Nikko has made multiple cameos on her Instagram account and even made his runway debut in Milan back in January.

In addition to Sánchez’s children, there appears to be other kids on the trip. It’s unclear whether those are some of Bezos’ four children who he shares with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott. The pair were married for 25 years before they announced news of their divorce in Jan. 2019.

The CEO has worked hard to keep his kids’ identities protected, as only his oldest son Preston’s name is known to the public. While his age is not confirmed, he’s believed to be around 22 years old.
