Cory Booker Announces Engagement: Meet His Fiancée Alexis Lewis
U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s engagement has garnered notice in New Jersey and nationwide. The longtime public worker, who has been in the Senate since 2013, posted the good news on Instagram on Tuesday. Booker, 56, announced his engagement to Alexis Lewis, calling her his companion, best friend, and fiancée.
Many who have watched Booker’s political career see the news as a rare insight into his private life. Booker, a dedicated public figure and former Newark mayor, has kept his personal life private. Supporters who have followed him for decades found his engagement news even more meaningful.
Booker’s fiancée, Alexis Lewis, works in real estate investment. A common friend set up a blind date for the couple, according to aides. A simple introduction became a strong bond. The couple had been together for 16 months, living a private life before taking this next step.
Sometimes the senator’s sexual life makes headlines. Booker dated Rosario Dawson for two years before splitting in 2022. The two met at a political function in 2018, but they started dating later. Booker has kept most of his personal life private until recently, despite their public relationship.
Booker adds a personal milestone to his life story and begins a new chapter while serving New Jersey in the Senate with this engagement. He is running for re-election next year after representing the state since 2013. His career is highly followed locally and nationally, since his name has been discussed in 2028 presidential candidate discussions.
This announcement shows a senator’s kinder side rarely seen. Booker’s open celebration of his engagement looms as a personal victory as much as a political one for someone who has spent years in politics. For supporters and coworkers, it demonstrates a leader who values public responsibility and the private delight of building a life with a spouse.
Booker’s political career will be enriched by this new chapter of marriage, which will combine his senatorial and husband-to-be duties. One of New Jersey’s most recognized public leaders is celebrating his engagement to Alexis Lewis.
