Lauren Sanchez Bezos celebrates daughter's major milestone

Lauren Sanchez Bezos has marked her daughter Ella Whitesell's big milestone.

Taking to Instagram Stories on Thursday, Lauren posted a photo of her daughter and celebrated her college acceptance.

Alongside a photo of Ella in pink and white unicorn onesie, Lauren wrote, "Congratulations! I have tears in my eyes looking at this photo and knowing you will be heading off to college soon."

The American journalist went on to write, "Beyond proud of how hard you work - I love you SO much. Congratulations on getting into the college of your dreams."

Lauren Sanchez Bezos, who shares Ella Whitesell with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, tied the knot to Jeff Bezos recently in Venice, Italy  with their wedding described as "wedding of the century."

Besides Ella, Lauren also shares Evan Whitesell with Patrick. Moreover, she also shares a son Nikko Gonzalez with her ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez.

At her wedding with Jeff Bezos, Nikko and Evan waled Lauren down the aisle. Meanwhile, Ella served as maid of honour and paid tribute to her mom during the ceremony.

In August, Lauren expressed heartbreak after dropping off Evan at college. She wrote, "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."

"A small thing but in that moment I saw the start of his next chapter. Proud. Heartbroken. Grateful," she added at the time.
