Meet Alexis Lewis, Cory Booker's fiancée, as New Jersey senator gets engaged 

New Jersey senator Cory Booker recently took to social media to announce his engagement to his fiancée Alexis Lewis. Booker was previously in a relationship with actress Rosario Dawson, which ended in 2022, and he reportedly began dating Lewis in 2024.

According to NJ.com, one of Cory Booker's aides said that the couple met through a blind date planned by mutual friends. They had been dating for 16 months before their engagement and are currently sharing a home in Washington.

Alexis Lewis is the Senior Vice President at Brasa Capital Management, a real estate investment company. According to her profile on her company website, Lewis was previously employed as Economic Policy Manager at the Mayor’s office in Los Angeles.

Alexis graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in marketing. She also has an MBA in real estate development and hospitality from SC Johnson College of Business.

On September 2, 2025, Cory Booker took to Instagram to announce his engagement to Lewis, uploading a five-picture carousel of their Hawaiian engagement, which included a photo of Booker down on one knee for the proposal.

In the post's caption, the 56-year-old Democratic lawmaker called Lewis "one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life," adding that she was his "partner, best friend, and now my fiancée."

"Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life. She has transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love. I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged!" Booker wrote.

Cory Booker continued:

"I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée. We are excited for this journey ahead, having so much fun, and feeling deeply grateful for the love, support, and energy so many of you have shared with us. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such a beautiful community lifting us in love and commitment."

Cory Booker recounted one of his earlier dates with his fiancée

During an August 2025 interview with the Washington Examiner, Cory Booker recounted one of his very first dates with his now-fiancée Alexis Lewis. He explained that Lewis asked him to show her the "For You" page of his TikTok account to gauge the kind of content that he followed, adding:

“I sort of held my breath as I opened it up, and she could see that I’m a nerd who loves food videos, animal videos. It was just a funny moment, because I never thought of it through the dating lens, but here it is, you know, a year and a half later, and we’re still together."

Cory Booker's engagement came months after he delivered a record-breaking 25-hour-long speech at the Senate condemning President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's policies. The speech began on March 31 at 7 pm local time and concluded at 8:06 pm on April 1, 2025.

Beginning the speech with the assurance that he intended to talk for as long as he was "physically able" to, Cory Booker stated that the United States was "in crisis."

“He (Trump) promised to lower your grocery prices – they’re higher. He promised to be a better steward of the economy – it’s worse than what he inherited. Over and over, he’s breaking promises and doing outrageous things like disappearing people off of US streets, violating fundamental principles of this document...For all Americans it’s a moral moment. It’s not left or right. It’s right or wrong,” he concluded.

Cory Booker was one of the potential Democratic candidates for the presidential election in 2020. However, in January 2020, he announced his decision to drop out of the race after failing to qualify for the Democratic debate in Iowa.
