From The Hill: Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) announced his engagement Tuesday, calling his fiancee “one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life.”
The senior New Jersey senator, famously a lifelong bachelor, made the announcement in posts on his social media accounts. He said his fiancee, Alexis Lewis, 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 am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée,” Booker said. “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.”
Lewis reportedly works at a real estate investment firm. She and Booker have been dating for 16 months, NJ.com reported.
Booker, 56, has served in the U.S. Senate since 2013. He reportedly met Lewis on a blind date set up by a friend.
