We know he’s supportive and encouraging in private,” Gondelman writes. “He doesn’t seem focus-grouped or media-trained for state dinners and press conferences. According to Insider, the pair were quiet about their relationship even before Ocasio-Cortez became a popular political voice, and their friends at university did not always know they were together.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is engaged to longtime boyfriend Riley Roberts, she confirmed on Twitter.

Steve Cortes, a former campaign advisor for Donald Trump, and other GOPers took issue with Roberts showing “his gross pale male feet in public” by wearing sandals. During the campaign, he was paid $6,000 for fundraising services by Brand New Congress, a PAC that helped launch her candidacy. Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx and moved at a young age with her parents to Yorktown in suburban Westchester County where she attended public schools until she graduated high school in 2007. Ocasio-Cortez’s father was an architect mother was born in Puerto Rico and cleaned houses. In August, AOC was asked about maintaining a healthy relationship while in the public eye in an Instagram live feed. The congresswoman, who graduated with degrees in international relations and economics, told Vogue in 2018 that they met at a weekly chat hosted by the university’s dean “in true nerdy fashion.”

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confirmed that she is engaged to her longtime partner Riley Roberts. The pair met in college at Boston University.

News of the engagement was confirmed by AOC when Insider reached out to the Rep. after hearing rumors that the duo was engaged. Roberts, who works in marketing and met Ocasio-Cortez in 2011, has mostly stayed out of the spotlight as his partner has rocketed to fame, becoming one of the best known members of Congress. He sometimes shows up in her social media posts, as in an Instagram story last year where he said they spend quality time browsing TikTok in the morning together. Roberts and AOC share a dog, Deco.

On Thursday, it was reported on Twitter that the congresswoman had gotten engaged to her longtime boyfriend, with reporter Pablo Manríquez tweeting: “BREAKING: ...

The New York representative and her longtime boyfriend, Riley Roberts, are engaged. Ocasio-Cortez, 32, confirmed her engagement on Twitter on Thursday, ...

They dated in college, but broke up when they were done with school. Ocasio-Cortez rarely posts about her relationship. According to Business Insider, the couple met when they were undergraduate students at Boston University in 2011.

Ocasio-Cortez said that she and longtime boyfriend Riley Roberts became engaged during a trip to Puerto Rico last month.

Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts, a 33-year-old web developer, first met as students at Boston University and have been in a relationship for several years. A photographer for The Hill also captured an image of Ocasio-Cortez wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring on Thursday morning. The progressive congresswoman tweeted "It's true!"

Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts met in college—not at a rowdy keg partyd but at a weekly Friday-afternoon conversation hosted by the dean.

We know he’s supportive and encouraging in private.” Personally, I’m a huge fan of partners of powerful female politicians standing quietly and helpfully alongside them—and we’ll all be looking forward to further details of the wedding, whenever they might arrive. The congresswoman met Roberts, who works as a web developer and has been described (in this very publication, no less) as an “easygoing redhead,” when the two were undergrads at Boston University. True to form, they met not at a rowdy keg party but at a weekly Friday-afternoon conversation hosted by the dean. New York magazine’s biography of Ocasio-Cortez, published in February, explores the bond between her and Roberts in greater depth.
