Senator Cory Booker, a prominent figure within the Democratic Party and considered by many as a potential future party leader, has also been the subject of speculation regarding a possible presidential run in 2028. But now, beyond political plans, the personal life of the New Jersey lawmaker has taken a beautiful turn: he has married real estate agent Alexis Lewis.

Senator Cory Booker is officially married! Cory Booker and Alexis Lewis exchanged wedding vows in two intimate ceremonies in November 2025 — one in Newark, the city that shaped Booker’s political career, and another in Washington, D.C., the city that shaped Lewis’s life and roots.

The celebrations came just weeks after Booker announced their engagement in a heartfelt Instagram post, which quickly captured public attention. “Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life,” he wrote at the time, sharing sun-soaked images from the beach where he proposed. “She has transformed me… helping me stay grounded and centered, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love.”

A Love Story Set Up by a Friend

Booker and Lewis first met in May 2024, through a blind date arranged by a mutual friend determined to make a match. In a June 2025 appearance on “The Shade Room,” Booker admitted that he initially resisted the idea. “At first, I said, ‘No, I’m not interested,’ because she lives in L.A. and I live in New Jersey and D.C.,” he recalled. But Lewis’s family roots in Washington, D.C., helped bridge the distance. Soon, geography no longer mattered.Family games

Their first date lasted more than five hours. Booker convinced Lewis to extend her travel plans for a second date, which he later described as “even better than the first” — an evening that included dinner in Newark, a Broadway show, a long walk, and their first kiss outside the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

Small but Meaningful Details

By mid-2025, Booker began sharing small details about their relationship, including the moment Lewis asked to see his TikTok “For You” page. “I sort of held my breath,” he told the Washington Examiner, laughing as he remembered her discovering his love for food and animal videos. At the time, he revealed they had been together for over a year and a half.

Booker admitted he had Googled Lewis before their first date — “Who goes on a date anymore without a full Google search?” — while Lewis intentionally avoided research. “She wanted to meet me as I am,” he said.

By mid-2025, Booker openly discussed his long-held hopes to marry and have children. “I have very big ambitions to get married,” he said. He also reflected on earlier stages of his career, especially during his years as Newark’s mayor, when personal relationships were not a priority. But meeting Lewis at a moment of emotional clarity changed everything. “I thought happiness was a byproduct of being in your purpose,” he said. “Now I realize — be happy now.”

Married at a Federal Courthouse

The couple wed quietly on November 24, 2025, at a federal courthouse in Newark. Their parents attended, and Judge Julien Xavier Neals officiated. After signing the paperwork, they celebrated with Italian pastries and a vegan chocolate-chip cookie dough cake, a nod to Booker’s plant-based lifestyle.

Five days later, they exchanged vows again in Lewis’s hometown of Washington, D.C., during an interfaith ceremony officiated by both a rabbi and a pastor. They stood beneath a huppah adorned with photos of deceased family members — a symbolic tribute to those they wished could join them.

Photos posted on social media on November 30 captured the warmth of the day: Booker and Lewis embracing under golden fall light; standing before a glowing cathedral-style doorway; smiling beneath a floral arch; and kissing on a balcony overlooking the city.

Fans flooded their accounts with congratulations and a few playful jabs. Some insisted Lewis had “First Lady energy.” One Instagram user wrote, “By the way, the dress and the woman are stunning!!” Another added, “She will make a stunning First Lady! Now let’s goooooo! Congratulations to you both!”

Others joked that she resembled Booker’s ex, actress Rosario Dawson. Dawson herself chimed in with a gracious, “Love Love! Congratulations, you two!”

Booker’s Career and Public Life

Booker, 56, has represented New Jersey in the U.S. Senate since 2013 and previously served as Newark’s mayor. His friends have long described him as a potential future leader of the Democratic Party, and his marriage has amplified public interest in his political future.

He has not officially said whether he plans to run for president again, but many took notice when he delivered a 25-hour filibuster in April 2025, criticizing the Trump administration. He ultimately set the record for the longest Senate filibuster in history.

Who Is Alexis Lewis?

Booker’s wife, Alexis Lewis, 38, is a Washington, D.C., native and director of investments at Brasa Capital Management in Los Angeles. Before entering real estate and investment, she worked in economic policy for then-Mayor Eric Garcetti, supporting development initiatives in South L.A. They now share a home in Newark’s Central Ward with their foster dog, Cooke.

Much of the fascination surrounding Booker and Lewis began with his engagement announcement on September 2, 2025, when Booker wrote: “I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée.” The post included barefoot photos of the couple on a Hawaiian beach, Booker lifting Lewis mid-laugh, and Lewis beaming with a flower lei around her neck.

As the images spread, fans filled comments with celebration, admiration, and, in true internet fashion, various theories, comparisons, and critiques. But beyond the noise, what emerged was the portrait of two people who found each other at exactly the right time.

Their Future Together

As they begin life together, support from across the country continues to pour in. Whether Booker’s marriage will fuel further speculation about his national political ambitions remains to be seen. For now, the senator and his new wife appear focused on something much simpler: gratitude, love, and the shared journey ahead.
