Who is Lauren Sánchez’s model son Nikko Gonzalez? Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’ soon-to-be-stepson just made his runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana – and his dad is a famous NFL player

The couple cheered on the youngster as they watched the show, which featured sharply tailored menswear pieces for the season, according to Reuters.

“Just a proud mama,” the glamorous former Fox anchor wrote on Instagram, “It was such a gift to watch my son @nikkogzz walking the runway for @dolcegabbana in Milan. Congrats, my love.” Even Kim Kardashian commented to show her support, writing, “Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!” on the post.

It’s not the first time Bezos has raised eyebrows for attending high-profile luxury fashion events. As The Cut aptly put it in September, “Jeff Bezos, what are you doing here?” referring to his appearance at Staud’s NYFW show last year. Maybe he just wants to try something new, or maybe he just loves the designers. Either way, some netizens aren’t totally on board with it.

So, who is the soon-to-be-stepson of one of the richest men in the world – and is he really planning to go down the fashion route? Here’s what we know:

Who are Nikko Gonzalez’s parents?

Having links to a billionaire certainly has its perks. Twenty-two-year-old Nikko – as evident from his Instagram – seems to be a perpetual traveller.

It seems like the budding fashionista is super tight with his mum.

They’ve been pictured together on numerous occasions, and with Sánchez sharing captions like “proud mama” it’s pretty obvious that they have a cute mother-and-son bond.

“I think people don’t realise how important being a mum is to me, because I don’t put it on social media, but it’s my most important job,” Sánchez told the Wall Street Journal last January.

It seems so. In one interview with The Wall Street Journal’s WSJ magazine, Sánchez referred to their blended family as “the Brady Bunch”. It also seems like they all spent New Year’s Eve together in 2021, per Page Six.

Who are Jeff Bezos’ children?

While Jeff Bezos is globally renowned as one of the most prominent entrepreneurs, his children maintain a deliberate and notable level of privacy. The billionaire, who shares four children – three sons and one daughter – with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, keeps most details about his family life under wraps. The only publicly visible child is his eldest son, Preston, believed to be in his 20s. Bezos’ daughter, who was adopted from China, remains a mystery in terms of her name and the specific timing of her adoption, as reported by People.
