S
enator Cory Booker, 56, wed real‑estate investor Alexis Lewis, 38, in a private Washington, D.C., ceremony less than three months after announcing their engagement. The couple first met on a blind date arranged by a friend in May 2024 while Lewis was visiting family in D.C. Their five‑hour first meeting prompted Booker to ask for a second date immediately. They announced their engagement on social media in September 2024, with Booker describing Lewis as “one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life.”

    The wedding took place at an undisclosed venue in D.C., followed by a courthouse ceremony in Newark, New Jersey, where the couple were legally bound before their parents. The interfaith ceremony featured blessings from both a rabbi and a pastor, reflecting Booker’s Christian faith and Lewis’s Jewish background. The reception was family‑only and honored both traditions.

    Booker’s Instagram post expressed deep gratitude, noting that the vows were exchanged in the two places that shaped them—Newark and D.C.—and that their hearts were full. He added that Lewis had “transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love.”

    Prior to marriage, Booker had focused on his political career, serving as Newark’s mayor from 2006 to 2013 and as a U.S. senator since 2013. He recently delivered a record‑breaking 25‑hour speech on the Senate floor. Lewis works as a director of investments at Brasa Capital Management and previously managed economic policy for former Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti. Their relationship marks a new chapter after Booker’s past romance with actress Rosario Dawson ended in 2022.
