Lauren Sanchez's Hidden Traits Revealed by Ex-BFF Debbie Matenopoulos
LAUREN SANCHEZ: THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE GLITZY WEDDING TO JEFF BEZOS - EX-FRIEND DEBBIE MATENOPPOULOS SPILLS THE TEA!
As Lauren Sanchez prepares to walk down the aisle with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in a luxurious Venetian wedding extravaganza, her former colleague Debbie Matenopoulos has given us an exclusive peek into the real Lauren - behind closed doors and beyond the glamour of her high-profile marriage.
The juicy details come as Debbie, who was once a co-host on The View alongside Barbara Walters and Joy Behar (remember that iconic red dress?), opens up about her close friendship with Lauren Sanchez. And trust me, folks, this is a must-read for anyone curious about what really goes down when the cameras aren't rolling!
It all started back in the early 2000s when Debbie relocated from New York City to Los Angeles, landing a gig on Fox's Good Day Live. Lauren, then a journalist and TV personality, was already a fixture on LA's morning show scene, hosting Good Day LA from 7am to 9am. The two ladies hit it off as work friends, bonding over their shared passion for cooking, makeup (Lauren does her own, y'all!), and cocktails.
Fast-forward to today, Debbie is dishing out the dirt on Lauren's character: "She is one of the hardest workers I've ever met! Always prepared, always looking fabulous... She's a girl's girl, super smart, and somebody you'd always want in your corner." Sounds like someone who's about to become Mrs. Jeff Bezos has got her priorities straight!
Now, Debbie did admit that they've lost touch over the years, but they still keep in touch through social media - often exchanging pleasantries via their shared makeup artist (talk about a small world!). And in a shocking twist, Debbie revealed that Lauren auditioned for her old spot on The View panel after she got the boot in 1999! Who knew those two had such a complicated history?
As Debbie and Lauren's friendship may have cooled off over time, they still show love and support for each other online. Debbie has been keeping busy, whipping up her new cookbook Greek-ish (March release) - a labor of love dedicated to her mom Efrosini and daughter Alexandra. And guess what? This cooking queen is also launching her own cooking show, exploring the culinary wonders of Greece!
"We're really excited to go do it in Greece," Debbie gushes. "I've gotten the Greek tourism board on board with us as well... Sometimes I'm barefoot in my kitchen at home, sometimes no makeup on, just a T-shirt and like, you know, pair of shorts." Who wouldn't want to cook up some Mediterranean magic with this charming host?
Stay tuned for more juicy updates from Debbie's culinary adventures, and don't forget to mark those calendars for Lauren's big day in Venice - Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and even members of the Trump family are rumored to be on the guest list!
