In her first solo interview since her relationship with Amazon founder and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos was made public, former journalist and media personality Lauren Sánchez discussed her path to becoming a pilot with The Wall Street Journal.
Tabloids like Page Six and The National Enquirer outed Sánchez, 53, and Bezos, 59, as a couple in January 2019, just hours after Bezos announced a split with his then-wife MacKenzie Scott. Sánchez was also married to her former spouse, Patrick Whitesell, the executive chairman at William Morris Endeavor, at the time.
The Journal talked to her exclusively for the first time since the scandal.
Sánchez is known for having appeared as a guest host on "The View," co-hosting Fox 11's "Good Day LA" show, and anchoring "Extra," the entertainment TV program. Additionally, she's starred in movie roles as an anchor in "Fight Club" and "The Day After Tomorrow," according to IMDB.
But at 18 years old, she had dreams of being a flight attendant, prompting her to move from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Los Angeles, California, in pursuit of the career path, she told The Journal. Sánchez's career move fell short when she narrowly failed a weigh-in for the role at Southwest Airlines in 1989, she added.
"Back then, they weighed you, and I weighed 121 pounds," Sánchez said. "They said, 'You need to be 115.'" But she said if she were that age again, she'd know: "I don't want to be a stewardess. I want to be the pilot!"
Both of her parents were pilots, and 22 years after being told she weighed too much to be a flight attendant, Sánchez attended a flight school in LA to get her pilot's license in 2011.

Now, she's a licensed helicopter pilot.
"This is one of the only places I feel entirely in control," Sánchez told the outlet.
Sánchez says she tries to get in the sky at least three times a week, sometimes flying with Bezos and their blended family to various locations around the globe.
"I don't know why more women don't do it," she told The Journal. She added that when women find out about her piloting, "They're like, 'What? You're such a badass!' And I want to say it's really not that hard. I do want more women to get involved in it."
Sánchez is planning to release a children's book titled "Flynn, The Fly Who Flew" later this year inspired by one of her helicopter rides, according to the Journal.
"I was in the helicopter, and there was a fly," she told the outlet. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, look, a fly who flew! This is such a great children's book. And it stuck.' Except now it's a rocket [in the book]."
"I hope that a reader, especially children, will see that if you wander and explore, you never know what you'll discover. You shouldn't stay in one place. Don't be typical," she continued.
Sánchez doesn't just fly helicopters, she is the founder of Black Ops Aviation, an ariel filming company, and the vice chair of Bezos Earth Fund, an organization committed to fighting climate change.
She is also set to lead Blue Origin's female-led mission to space in 2024. "It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send,'" Sánchez told The Journal.

So the other day I made some beef tongue tacos and decided to save the broth. It ended up with a decent flavor and a bit spicy from some guajillo chiles and chile de arbol, so I figured something Latin would be ideal, but I don't have any ideas for it. I probably have 2 quarts of the stuff.

What do a billionaire philanthropist, a climate tech firm, and fewer cow burps have in common?
Just ask Bill Gates, whose investment firm Breakthrough Energy Ventures, or BEV, led a $12 million seed funding round into an Australian climate tech firm working to reduce methane emissions — like those from cows.
Rumin8, a Perth-based startup, said Monday it has closed a Phase 2 seed funding round, bringing its total funding to 25 million Australian dollars, or $17.7 million. The company is developing a seaweed-based feed that would cut methane — a byproduct of the food digestion process — from livestock emissions.
Rumin8 plans to use the $12 million for activities like commercial trials and developing a pilot manufacturing plant.
Methane is the most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. It is also 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
As livestock accounts for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, there are now global efforts to farm such animals more sustainably.
"The demand for sustainable protein has never been more apparent, which is why BEV is keenly interested in reducing methane emissions from beef and dairy," Carmichael Roberts, a business lead at BEV's Investment Committee, said in a press release.
Just last week, Gates appeared upbeat about sustainable meat in a Reddit Ask Me Anything session.
"There are companies making 'beef' in new ways and people working to still use cows but reduce the methane emissions," Gates wrote in the thread. "I think eventually these products will be very good even though their share is small today," he added.
And Gates' BEV isn't the only one looking at cutting methane emissions from livestock. Last week, French food giant Danone pledged to slash methane emissions from its milk-supplying farms by about one-third by the end of this decade.
New Zealand — a major beef producer — is also proposing to tax the burps from livestock from 2025.
