Breaking News: Lauren Sánchez said she’s taking Spanish lessons with her kids because her ‘biggest regret’ is not being fluent in it….see more

When Garcia asked what it was like growing upas a third-generation Latina in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sanchez said it was “amazing.”

However, she said she missed out on her grandmother and mother speaking Spanish all the time, which prompted her to take Spanish lessons as an adult.

“The biggest regret I have is not being able to speak fluent Spanish,” Snchez, a former helicopter pilot and news anchor, told Garcia. Her mother’s decision not to teach her the language was to prevent her from having an accent.

“She thought that would hurt me,” she said. “Now I am taking Spanish lessons, and my kids are taking lessons, because it’s something I crave,” said Snchez, who has a son with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez and two teenagers with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell.

When asked whether she bonds with her fiance, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, through their respective cultures, Snchez said, “We bond and clash in the best possible way.”
