Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey has announced his engagement to Alexis, sharing photos of himself and his fiancée on social media. "Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life. 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," the senator noted.

"I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged! I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée," he continued. The posts feature multiple photos of the happy couple, including one of Booker down on one knee, apparently proposing.
