Lauren Sanchez looked unrecognizable in a shocking throwback snap as she gave fans a rare glimpse into her childhood.
The brunette beauty, 55, is set to marry Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in a multi-million dollar wedding in Venice later this year.
But on Sunday, to mark Father’s Day, Lauren took to her Instagram stories with snapshots that showcased her humble beginnings.
The mom-of-three shared an image from inside a very modest looking home complete with a boxy TV and a Christmas tree in the corner of the room.
She looked world’s away from her modern-day appearance as she beamed sweetly – sporting a double denim ensemble and bouffant hairdo.
The youngster also had her hands placed lovingly on her father’s shoulders as he knelt in front of her facing the camera.
Another snap showed Lauren posing outside her humble family home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, alongside her father.
She wrote: ‘Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there, especially you.

‘Thank you for the strength, love and laughter you bring into our lives. Grateful today and everyday.’
Lauren did not publicly pay tribute to her husband-to-be or her exes with whom she shares children.
Her current lavish lifestyle is indeed a far cry from her younger years.
She was born and raised in Albuquerque, where she attended Del Norte High School and was a cheerleader.
After her graduation she moved to California and enrolled in El Camino College, before moving to the University of Southern California, where she pursued a communications major.
Sanchez began her broadcasting career as an intern at KCOP-TV in Los Angeles before working as a reporter at KTVK-TV in Phoenix.
She then returned to Los Angeles and became a special correspondent for Extra.
She and Bezos went public with their relationship in 2019 before getting engaged last May.

The couple are now gearing up for their nuptials and it is thought that they will be joined by A-list celebrities, politicians and world-leading businessmen as they descend on Venice, Italy, later this month.
The lavish event and its extensive guest list will mean beefed-up security, closed streets, monitored airspace and a strong police presence.
Bezos’ $500million superyacht ‘Koru’ will be moored at San Basilio – the closest it can get to the city center due to its fragile ecosystem – and be in sight of the Hotel Cipriani, where many will be lodged.
It’s thought Bezos, Sanchez and their immediate families will stay on the nine-bedroom yacht with other guests split between the Cipriani and Aman hotels nearby.
Although their attendance isn’t confirmed, it is rumored Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are invited.
Wedding experts Kunal Madan, the CEO and Founder of DressPreservation.com, and Zoe Buke, from Hitched.co.uk, told the Daily Mail their wedding will likely cost as much as $15million to $20million – depending on venue exclusivity, location planning, and celebrity headcount.
