Bride-to-be Lauren Sánchez didn’t seem to want to get too chatty about her upcoming wedding to billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos during a TV interview. 

During a Wednesday appearance on Today with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, Sánchez reluctantly gave viewers a sneak peek of her wedding plans after she was asked by Guthrie how the planning was going. 

‘So, you asked?’ Sánchez cracked, as she was met with a laugh from both cohosts. 

Although a bit sheepish, she did share a bit about what was happening with her nuptials.

‘Very excited about it, thinking about the dress, I have to say, I do have a Pinterest, I’m just like every other bride, so I do have a Pinterest board,’ Sánchez admitted.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Pinterest is a social media app that allows users to save and share style and home inspiration.

It’s often used by brides to help organize their wedding planning and ideas – and it looks like the the former Good Day LA anchor has jumped on the bandwagon, just like the rest of us. 

Sánchez, who has been engaged to Bezos since May 2023, has not publicly announced her wedding date, but The Sun reported that it was happening in Aspen this winter.

During the segment, she also admitted that at age 54, she never thought her life would be where it was right now.

‘I never thought at, I’m gonna be 55, that you know, I’d be an author, that I’d be getting married, I mean life is just beginning,’ the helicopter pilot admitted.

‘When I was 20, I thought, “Oh my gosh, life is over at 50,” let me tell you, it is not, ladies,’ the mogul reassured the audience.

‘It is not over, it is just beginning. It just gets better and better, and I always say when women are like, “Oh what is it like turning 50?” It’s just the beginning.’

This isn’t the first time in recent months that Sánchez has dropped hints about her wedding and life with Bezos.

In September, the journalist told Extra TV that she was getting ‘really excited’ about her nuptials.

She even called the Amazon founder ‘the man of [her] dreams.’  

‘You know what I’m most excited about? I get to marry the man of my dreams,’ Sánchez told the outlet at the time.

'Very excited about it, thinking about the dress, I have to say, I do have a Pinterest, I'm just like every other bride, so I do have a Pinterest board,' Sánchez admitted

‘I never thought at, I’m gonna be 55, that you know, I’d be an author, that I’d be getting married, I mean life is just beginning,’ the pilot, who is engaged to Jeff Bezos, admitted

‘I do,’ she continued. ‘He’s amazing. I get to spend the rest of my life with him and he loves my kids. And that is really what I am looking forward to.’

The mogul’s appearance on Today comes just two days after she got emotional during an Amazon Live segment when she was asked a touching question by a fan who was tuning in.

On Monday, Sánchez sat down with model Ashley Graham for a Q&A on the platform to talk about her new children’s book, The Fly Who Flew To Space.

Towards the end of the stream, a fan named Caitlin asked the mogul the advice she would give her younger self.

‘I would tell my younger self that you’re not dumb,’ Sánchez admitted as she began to get emotional.

‘It’s like, you know, you’re a little girl, and you’re always thinking that, and you just kind of want to pick her up,’ the businesswoman admitted.

‘I say that’s what this book was for when I was writing it, it’s the 54-year-old me hugging that eight year old girl, saying, “You’re gonna be okay.”‘

By this point, the pilot was visibly looking a bit upset, as her eyes began to look shiny.

‘Sorry, a little emotional,’ she said.

Graham quickly comforted her friend, who said that she ‘loved’ Sánchez’s sentiment.
