There are helicopter parents and then there are parents who helicopter. Lauren Sánchez happens to be both.
The Emmy-winning TV host–turned–helicopter pilot, who became a well-known name when her relationship with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was made public in January 2019, is recounting the time she did a surprise fly-by of her son’s football practice when he was in high school. “I texted his friend to tell him, ‘Look up!’” Sánchez says. And there she was, waving from a chopper above the field. “He was like, ‘Mom, you’re embarrassing me!’ But he secretly thinks I’m cool, I know it.”
