Despite initially disregarding Lauren Sanchez’s relationship with Jeff Bezos, once Michael Sanchez realized there was something there, his mind went into overdrive. His chief concern, he told Page Six, was that the couple wasn’t exactly going to great lengths to keep their affair under wraps. As he told the outlet, “They were so in love they didn’t have any plan. They had no idea what they were doing. They were together at Lauren’s Santa Monica house, which is all glass, taking all these insane risks.”
That’s where things got murky. Troubled by the thought of the affair being exposed, when Michael realized the press did indeed have a hunch, he hatched a plan to protect them and ensure their relationship went the distance. As he explained, “If they knew that the National Enquirer knew about the affair, it would’ve instantly been the end of the relationship.” Enter, his gallant promise to secure pictures of them together.
Michael ended up not supplying the pics. However, that’s not to say there haven’t been questions about the full extent of his dealings with the outlet. In fact, if National Enquirer sources speaking to The New York Times are to be believed, just one person gave them every piece of intel they had about the affair. Interesting way of keeping an affair secret, but, like, maybe we just don’t know his heart?
