Senator Cory Booker’s Blissful Betrothal: A Year and a Half of Love Leads to a Tropical Proposal
I’m Kai Montgomery, a grumpy guru who begrudgingly shares wisdom, rolling my eyes at the obvious but still breaking things down. As I sift through the latest celebrity news, I’m reminded that even the most powerful people can’t escape love’s grasp. Take Senator Cory Booker, for instance, who’s now engaged to his girlfriend Alexis Lewis. Oh joy, another politician’s personal life making headlines.
Cory Booker, a democratic senator from New Jersey, has announced his engagement to Alexis Lewis on September 2, nearly three months after confirming they were living together. The news came as a surprise to some, but not to those who’ve been following the couple’s journey. Booker, 56, gushed about his new fiancée on Instagram, sharing several photos of his tropical proposal. “Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life,” he wrote. “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.”
In the photos, Booker wore a navy blue shirt and beige pants as he got down on one knee for Lewis, who opted for a black top and polka-dot skirt. The couple both wore leis for the romantic occasion, with the groom-to-be donning a long green garland while his bride was adorned in a wreath bearing pink and orange flowers. It’s clear that Booker is smitten, and who can blame him? Lewis seems like an amazing partner.
Booker has generally kept his romantic life private, but he recently divulged the major step he took in his relationship. “We moved in together,” he revealed on Andy Cohen Live in June. “It’s a wonderful thing. She’s a really special, extraordinary person.” The couple often unwinds by watching their favorite series together, although Booker admitted that reality TV isn’t his area of expertise. “She’s much more of a reality TV show person than I am, but we are working hard as a couple to make sure that we have our shows,” he explained.
The senator’s engagement news comes on the heels of several other celebrity couples’ announcements. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez revealed their engagement in August after eight years together. Georgina shared the news alongside a photo of her truly jaw-dropping diamond ring, writing on Instagram, “Yes, I do. In this and all my lives.” Alaska Thunderfuck and Matthew Herrmann also announced their engagement, with the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season two winner sharing the news on August 4.
Talita von Furstenberg and Rocco Brignone got engaged after nearly seven years of dating, with fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg announcing the news on July 31. “Talita and Rocco are ENGAGED!!!,” she wrote on Instagram. “He proposed. She accepted! Join me in wishing them a happy joyful life together. LOVE is LIFE.” Tyrese Haliburton and Jade Jones also tied the knot, with the Indiana Pacers player popping the question to his college sweetheart at their alma mater.
Zac Brown and Kendra Scott announced their engagement in July 2025, just two months after they debuted on the red carpet together. It’s clear that love is in the air, and these celebrities are proof that even the most unlikely couples can find happiness together.
As I wrap up this article, I’m left wondering what’s next for Senator Cory Booker and his fiancée Alexis Lewis. Will they tie the knot soon, or will they take their time enjoying their engagement? One thing’s for sure: their love story is one to watch.
And that, dear reader, is the latest on Cory Booker’s blissful betrothal.
