Brazen Jeff Bezos and mistress Lauren Sanchez became so confident of their affair remaining out of the public eye they flirted openly and suggestively on dinner dates with pals and business colleagues. A few weeks before National ENQUIRER exclusively exposed their affair, our reporter spotted them at the upmarket Capo Restaurant in Santa Monica on October 30 as they booked a table for dinner with two friends.

Jeff was close to [Sanchez] from the beginning, laughing and joking and whispering to her,” the witness said. “She was gazing into his eyes throughout the first part of the evening as they sat next to each other, with a male companion on the other side of Jeff and the blonde opposite.
“It did not look like a business dinner, and he barely spoke to the male companion all evening.”

“He began whispering in her ear, and she was listening and gazing at him. Then she began whispering in his ear, fully leaning their bodies into each other, with his arm draped over her chair as he was speaking.

At 10 p.m., the party left the restaurant — but not, it seems, to return to their own homes. The next day, The ENQUIRER witnessed Sanchez leaving Bezos’ mansion around noon. Fifteen minutes later, an SUV arrived and picked up the licentious Amazon boss, who headed to the East Coast for business meetings in New York.
