Lauren Sanchez has opened up about her engagement to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, revealing she ‘blacked out’ when she saw her huge pink-diamond ring.

The 53-year-old former journalist told Vogue that her 59-year-old beau asked her to marry him back in May at sea after they enjoyed a dinner for two under the stars.

She said she wasn’t wearing any makeup and Jeff had concealed the ring under her pillow for her to stumble across at bedtime. 

‘When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,’ Lauren, who posed in some glamorous shots in West Texas – alongside her fiancé who donned a cowboy hat for the magazine’s December issue, said of the special moment.

Having only been engaged for five months, the couple was still in the throes of deciding on what kind of wedding they’d have.

‘We’re still thinking about the wedding, what it’s going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don’t know yet,’ Lauren dished, adding she was more focused on Jeff’s 60th birthday party in January.

But don’t expect one of the world’s richest men to get involved with planning their nuptials.

‘Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?’ Jeff said with a laugh.

As for whether or not Lauren is taking her husband-to-be’s last name, she responded: ‘Uh, yes, one hundred percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.’

During the loved-up couple’s interview, Jeff also gushed about his fiancée, saying she had ‘amazing intuition, almost witchy powers in that regard.’

‘She sees things that other people don’t see. She’s really very sensitive to other people and what they’re thinking,’ he told the publication.

Jeff added that Lauren had helped him redirect more of his time into his relationships with other people.

‘She has really helped me put more energy into my relationships. She’s always encouraging me: “Call your kids. Call your dad. Call your mom,”‘ the business mogul said.

‘And she’s also just a very good role model. She keeps in touch with people. I’ve never seen her put makeup on without calling somebody. Usually her sister.’

Despite the glitz and glam of being in a relationship with one of the world’s richest men, the reality is she’s much more down-to-earth, according to her sister, Elena Sánchez Blair.

‘Since she’s been with Jeff, she is more peaceful and more calm. She appears more herself,’ Elena told Vogue.

‘You see her, this beautiful force all done up in ball gowns, but the truth is most of the time we are on the couch in sweats and yoga pants, playing Sloppy Dice or Heads Up on our phones.’

During the interview, a besotted Lauren describes Jeff as ‘the life of the party.’ 

‘He’s just extremely enthusiastic, and extremely funny. He can be really goofy. I mean, you’ve heard him laugh, right?’ she said of her Amazon founder partner.

During the past summer, the couple were spotted traveling across the Mediterranean on Jeff’s $500 million superyacht Koru – which means ‘new beginnings’ in Maori. The lavish vacation kicked off in May.

The whirlwind itinerary saw the pair stop off at Portofino, Saint-Tropez and Cannes – to name just a few.
