NFL fans have been left in shock after discovering that Kansas City Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez used to date Lauren Sanchez.
It comes days after Jeff Bezos' fiancée was the center of attention at Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Monday in her plunging white Alexander McQueen ensemble.
Sanchez, 55, stunned in a tailored blazer and a lace corset with floral detailing underneath, attracting attention from fellow attendees like Mark Zuckerberg.
But her presence at the forefront of political proceedings led fans on social media to discover that she is the ex-girlfriend of Gonzalez, 48.
The NFL star and Lauren - who share a son, Nikko - have since been spotted on numerous outings together, along with their new partners, in recent years.
They also identified that Gonzalez now works as an analyst on 'Thursday Night Football', which is broadcast by Bezos' Amazon Prime Video.

One fan wrote on social media: 'Wait, no wait, tell me it isn't true'.
A second responded: 'Think I knew she was his ex, but had not put that part of it together. Unreal.'
Another commented: 'You just learned this? And now Tony works for Bezos on Thursday Night Football'.
A third fan simply asked 'what happened?' before another replied 'wow'.
Despite undergoing a rocky separation in 2002, during which Lauren and Tony threw a slew of cheating allegations at each other, the pair seem to have gotten over their tumultuous past.
It's no secret that Lauren has stayed closed with Tony and his new wife, October Gonzalez, as she's often seen hanging out with them.
Lauren has previously referred to Tony as one of her 'best friends' and gushed about their co-parenting style.

Over the summer, the foursome proved that they had moved on from the past as they as they vacationed together in Greece alongside their respective partners.
The group has also spent a considerable amount of time on Jeff's luxurious yacht.
The Amazon founder's 230-foot tall yacht, which he commissioned in 2018 and named Koru, currently holds the record for being the world's tallest super-yacht.
The Koru is the second-largest sailing ship in the world.
