In her 25 years of marriage to Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Bezos has been a loyal ambassador for Amazon, the company that made her and her husband the richest couple in the world.
She was an integral part of its origin story, driving to Seattle in 1994 while Mr. Bezos sat in the passenger seat, working on the nascent companys business plan. She was Amazons first accountant and was involved in its transformation from a small online bookseller to the e-commerce behemoth it is today, the second company in American history to be valued at over a trillion dollars.
Ms. Bezos, 48, is a novelist. But Amazon has defined her public image almost wholly. The announcement this week that she and her husband would be getting a divorce may soon change that. A statement signed Jeff & MacKenzie, which was first posted to Mr. Bezoss Twitter account, read: After a period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.
The couple, who have four children, wrote that they see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.
Over the last few decades, as Amazon grew, Ms. Bezos appeared with her husband at some high-profile events, including Vanity Fairs Oscar parties and the Golden Globes; in 2012, she was a host of the Met Gala. (Amazon also underwrote the event.) But for the most part, Ms. Bezos has guarded her privacy, preferring to focus on writing and her children. She could not be reached for comment on this article.

All righty then.
You didn't read what I wrote.
The posters I was replying to had put out the opinion that he was an idiot for having an affair with a woman who they judged not as pretty as his current wife (unsaid is whether they would have approved if she WAS younger and prettier than the current wife).
All I was saying is that the cuteness of the wife is not necessarily the dominant issue influencing whether he strays.
