Lauren Sanchez: Heartfelt Messages, Stellar Friendships & Emotional Milestones

Lauren Sanchez has posted an emotional message to her good friend Katy Perry. The women are seen here together in April head of their Blue Origins space trip

LAUREN SANCHEZ'S LOVE FOR KATY PERRY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!

In a heartfelt post, Blue Origin's Lauren Sanchez expressed her deep admiration for fellow astronaut and singer Katy Perry on Instagram Stories, congratulating her on an epic sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. But what's really going on behind the scenes?

The 53-year-old entrepreneur and wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos shared a clip from CBS Mornings that highlighted Perry's monumental concert, which took place on August 11. Sanchez couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness for missing out on the fun – but don't worry, it seems like she'll be catching up with her friend soon!

Sanchez, seen here with husband Jeff Bezos in June, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to congratulate Perry on a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden

As fans know, Sanchez and Bezos tied the knot in an over-the-top Venetian wedding in June, complete with A-list guests and plenty of champagne. But there was one notable absence from the guest list: Katy Perry herself! However, Sanchez wasn't surprised – after all, Perry was busy rocking out on her world tour.

In a sweet show of solidarity, Sanchez commented on one of Perry's Instagram posts during the wedding, saying "We miss you Katy!" with a heart. And it looks like the feeling is mutual!

Sanchez isn't just an avid fan; she and Perry are actually close friends. They even embarked on a historic journey together in April when they blasted off into space as part of Blue Origin's all-female flight crew. The group, which also included journalist Gayle King and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, marked a major milestone for women in STEM.

She reposted a segment about Perry that aired on CBS Mornings, which mentioned that Perry's fellow Blue Origin astronaut and journalist Gayle King was there for the sold-out show

But despite their friendship, it seems like Sanchez was too busy basking in the glory of her new husband to attend Perry's show. Or maybe she just wanted to give Bezos all the attention? Either way, we're sure Perry didn't mind – after all, she was too busy slaying on stage!

And speaking of milestones, Sanchez recently marked a major one herself: dropping off her son Evan at The University of Miami for his freshman year. In an emotional Instagram post, Sanchez shared a heartwarming photo of Evan assembling his dorm furniture and reflected on the past 18 years of motherhood.

"A small thing but in that moment I saw the start of his next chapter," she wrote, beaming with pride. "Proud. Heartbroken. Grateful." We can only imagine how proud Sanchez must be to see her son spread his wings and fly!

'So sad I missed it ... but see you soon @katyperry,' Sanchez wrote in white text over the top of the clip. Perry is seen with ex Bloom in March

But what about Perry's recent romance? Sources close to the singer revealed that she's been spotted getting cozy with a mystery man – could it be another A-list heartthrob on the horizon?

As for Sanchez, she seems to be focusing on her family and friends. And we can't blame her – after all, there's no one like a supportive squad to help you navigate the ups and downs of life!
