Lauren Sánchez Bezos is entering a new chapter of motherhood – sending her son off to college.
The wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took to Instagram to share a heartfelt moment with her son setting up his dormitory.
“Dropped off Evan at college today. 18 years of early mornings, late night snacks and family dinners… and then there he was building his own dorm cabinet,” Sánchez Bezos wrote, as she reflected on an emotional moment.

Last week, proud mom Sánchez Bezos also took to social media to document her son’s journey to college.
In an Instagram Story, Sánchez Bezos related to other moms trying to process the moment their little kids suddenly aren’t so little anymore.
“Shout out to all the moms who feel like we were just dropping off our kids at kindergarten… then you blink and now we are packing them up for college. I’m in tears!” she shared.

The two were married for 13 years before filing for divorce in April 2019. The divorce filing came just one day after Bezos finalized his separation from his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
Scott and Bezos wed in 1993 and share four children together.
In 2019, the duo announced their divorce after 25 years of marriage. They settled shortly after.
