Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey, a former presidential candidate, has announced engagement to girlfriend Alexis Lewis.
The Democrat senator took to Instagram to share the delightful news with friends, family and followers, writing, “I am thrilled to share: Alexix and I are engaged. I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend and now my fiancee.”
The announcement featured several pictures of lovebirds together, including the one featuring Booker getting on one knee and offering a ring to the love of his life.
The pair have been dating for over a year and have been living in a home together in Washington. D.C.
While many congratulated the couple, other eagle-eyed followers spotted the striking resemblance of Alexis to actress Rosario Dawson. Cory was romantically linked to the actress for about two years previously, ending their romance in 2022.
One netizen wrote, “Congratulations, but you definitely have a type. Literally thought she was Rosario.” Another chimed in, “Literally came here looking for this comment. Could definitely be sisters!”
A third one wrote, “I was like, Rosario looks great! But then I saw the caption.”
The announcement comes just days after Booker and Alexis, both 56, enjoyed a trip to Hawaii.
Booker has been serving as Senator in the Garden State since 2013. In 2019, he announced a presidential bid and participated in five debates but failed to qualify for the sixth Democrat presidential debate and ended his campaign in January 2020.
