Meet Patrick Whitesell, the Hollywood mogul Lauren Sanchez is reportedly divorcing

As executive chairman of Endeavor, the parent company of talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), Patrick Whitesell is one of Hollywood’s top power players.

He’s also the soon-to-be-ex-husband of Lauren Sanchez, the ex-TV anchor and pilot who’s been dating Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Sanchez has, according to a TMZ report, filed for divorce from Whitesell a day after the terms of Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos’ divorce were announced.

Along with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Whitesell represents actors, musicians, and comedians. His clients include Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Michelle Williams, Idris Elba, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, John Krasinski, Jude Law, Ryan Reynolds, and Denzel Washington.

Whitesell and Sanchez were married in 2005 and reportedly separated in the fall of 2018.

Sanchez became a well-known name after Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos first said they were getting divorced back in January, as Business Insider’s Paige Leskin reported. Hours after they announced the divorce, the National Enquirer reported that Jeff Bezos was dating Sanchez.
