At 55, Lauren Sánchez has shifted from broadcasting the news to penning children’s stories, and now she’s offering fans a rare glimpse into where the magic happens. On April 28, the former TV anchor and fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos posted a video tour of her writing room—a whimsical, blush-toned sanctuary nestled inside their lavish shared home.
With a ceiling painted like a dreamy sky and a cozy pink desk adorned with fresh flowers, Sánchez explained that she craves peace for inspiration—quite the contrast from her bustling newsroom past. “When I was a reporter… I got used to writing with all this commotion,” she shared. “Now… I need peace.”
That peace, however, came with a side of public commentary.
While some of Sánchez’s nearly one million Instagram followers embraced the charm and vulnerability of the video, others zeroed in on the aesthetics. Admirers praised the calming vibe, while critics mocked the “Disney princess” palette and called the setup “SkyMall chic.” Still, many writers resonated with her message and shared their own routines—highlighting the universal truth that creative spaces are deeply personal.
The post also revealed that Sánchez is currently working on her second children’s book, following her debut, The Fly Who Flew to Space. With a nod to writer’s block and creative struggle, she extended a heartfelt invitation: “Everyone’s writing process is unique… I’d love to hear about yours.”
More than just a room tour, Sánchez’s post was a candid moment in a very curated life. It reminded fans that behind the Met Gala gowns and space-age adventures, she’s still someone sitting at a desk, trying to find the right words.
