Bezos has four children with his ex-wife, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, three sons, and one daughter, whom the couple adopted from China. The pair divorced in 2019, and the billionaire explained that they had decided to call it quits amicably, and wanted to co-parent and support their kids. He wrote on Twitter at the time, that they “had such a great life together as a married couple,” and were looking forward to their next chapter “as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.”

Sanchez has also talked about her previous relationship with her ex, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, as they share a son, Nikko Gonzalez, who is known to be in his early 20s. “I’m not saying that being best friends with your ex is the end-all be-all. But you do need to be able to communicate. I’m so proud of it. My son looks at me, and he’s like, ‘I’m the luckiest boy in the world because I can have Thanksgiving with both my parents and they don’t have to be married,’“ she said to The Wall Street Journal.
