Meet Pia Whitesell, the model who married Lauren Sánchez’s ex: the Aussie celeb’s husband is Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s millionaire agent Patrick Whitesell, who lost his first wife to Jeff Bezos
- Chilean beauty Pia Whitesell moved to Australia as a child and made a name for herself first as a teen model, then as an actress on soap Home & Away – and she was once married to a famous footballer
- Worth US$450 million, Patrick Whitesell shares two children with Bezos’ fiancée Sánchez, but found love again with Pia, and has been spoiling her rotten with Chanel bags and luxe holidays
Sánchez’s husband and baby daddy, and Bezos’ close friend, is multimillionaire executive Patrick Whitesell – who made the mistake of introducing Bezos and Sánchez in the first place. Ouch.
Things got worse when the National Enquirer published details of raunchy texts between Bezos and Sánchez and leaked details of their secret trysts. So those close to Whitesell – who runs Hollywood talent agency William Morris Endeavour – will no doubt have been overjoyed for the 58-year-old when he found love again with model and actress Pia Miller just a year after the uproar.
So who is the woman who managed to persuade Whitesell to walk down the aisle a second time in 2020? Here’s what you need to know about Pia Miller, now Pia Whitesell.
Pia Whitesell was born in Chile
Born Pia Loyola Blanco in Chile in 1983, Whitesell is the youngest of three children born to fashion designer Angélica Blanco.
The four of them moved to Melbourne, Australia, when Pia was four years old to start a new life away from her estranged father, according to the Herald Sun.
