The Enquirer had already been trailing and photographing Bezos and Sánchez at the time of those conversations. The tabloid published photographs showing the couple together, as well as quotes from their private text messages.

A few days after Bezos aired his suspicions, the Daily Beast identified Michael Sánchez as the alleged leaker of the private text messages.
