To be clear, I think multiple things can be true about this Jeff Bezos story all at once. I think Jeff Bezos was openly having an affair with Lauren Sanchez months before he and his wife MacKenzie separated. I think his affair was the reason why his marriage is ending. I think he’s trying to put a positive spin on all of it, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had hired a ton of crisis managers and PR professionals to handle this story. I also think it’s shady as f–k that Bezos only made the divorce announcement because the National Enquirer had been doing a multi-month investigation into his personal life. The National Enquirer is tied so closely to Donald Trump, and Trump believes Bezos is his enemy, so the Enquirer went after the president’s enemy with the most lurid story they could find. It’s all pretty gross and there are no heroes. Anyway, onto the mistress rollout!

Jeff Bezos and his new girlfriend Lauren Sanchez are going strong in the wake of their relationship going public.

“They’re madly in love and stronger than ever,” a source close to the new couple tells PEOPLE a week after the Amazon CEO (worth $137 billion) announced his split from MacKenzie Bezos, his wife of 25 years. The exes have four children: three sons and a daughter. Sanchez, 49, is also divorcing her husband, Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, PEOPLE confirmed. The two have been married for 13 years and share two children together. She also has a son from a previous relationship. Sanchez and Whitesell are working with celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser to mediate their split.

Shortly after Bezos, 55, announced his divorce, the National Enquirer published a months-long investigation into him and his relationship with the news anchor and actress. A source previously told PEOPLE that Sanchez has a “bubbly” and “social” personality.

“She’s very social — always has been and always will be,” the source said. She’s the kind of person who at 49 will still grab a group of girlfriends and helicopter to the desert for a weekend at Coachella. On the face of it, she seems like the polar opposite of Bezos, but maybe that’s why he was so drawn to her,” the insider added.

As I said, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Bezos has hired all of the best PR people. They told him it didn’t even matter that he had an affair and betrayed his wife of 25 years just as long as he could wrap up his infidelity as a true love affair which will stand the test of time. I don’t need to hear that Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are “stronger than ever,” as if they’ve weathered some real tragedy or difficult circumstance. Please. They had an affair and now they’re both divorcing their spouses and they’re trying to put a bow on it and pretend like this isn’t a huge, gross mess.
