It's been a summer of major life milestones for Lauren Sanchez Bezos, who began the season by tying the knot with billionaire Jeff Bezos —and she is closing it out by bidding farewell to her son, Evan Whitesell, who has left the family home to start his freshman year at college.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos is feeling all the feels as she officially sent her 19-year-old son, Evan Whitesell, off to college, a milestone that left her both proud and heartbroken. On Monday, the journalist and helicopter pilot shared a touching photo of Evan in his new dorm, carefully assembling furniture for his room at the University of Miami.

Lauren Sánchez was one proud mom while celebrating a bittersweet milestone with son Evan. “Dropped off Evan at college today,” Sánchez, 55, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, August 11. “18 years of early mornings, late night snacks and family dinners … and then there he was building his own dorm cabinet.”
