Is Cory Booker Married?
No, Senator Booker is not married yet. He has never been married but announced his engagement to Lewis in September 2025.
He added in his caption, “I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée. We are excited for this journey ahead, having so much fun, and feeling deeply grateful for the love, support, and energy so many of you have shared with us. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such a beautiful community lifting us in love and commitment.”
Rosario Dawson
Booker was in a relationship with actress, producer and activist Rosario Dawson from 2019 to 2022. The couple even moved in together during Booker’s 2020 presidential run.
While speaking with The Washington Post in 2019, Booker recalled the moment when his and Dawson’s connection became clear. “I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours,” he told the publication. “I had trouble asking for her phone number … I think I said something really stupid like, ‘Uh, how would I get in touch with you?’ And she mercifully said something like, ‘Oh, you want my phone number?’ And my insides were like, ‘Hell, yeah!’”
That year, Booker also gushed about how “deeply soulful” Dawson is as a person while discussing their relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. “She is just a deeply soulful person and has taught me a lot of lessons about love already,” he said, per Ebony. “Sometimes you show the greatest strength when you make yourself vulnerable. She really has this nurturing spirit that’s made me more courageous, not just in the love I project and want to see in our country, but I think in our own personal relationships to love more fearlessly.”
For her part, Dawson praised Booker in an early 2021 Instagram post after he kept his senate seat. “So proud of and grateful for you my love. I got to vote for you here in New Jersey and am so glad that you overwhelmingly and rightfully won your seat again,” the Dopesick alum wrote at the time. “To know your leadership will continue to guide us with love, brilliance, patience, grace and effectiveness is the kind of representation and hope we need.”
Despite their breakup, Booker and Dawson have remained on good terms, and the actress has even kept photos of them together on her Instagram. After Booker announced his engagement to Lewis, Dawson showed her support by commenting on his post, “Love Love! Congratulations you two! ❤️❤️”
Cleo Wade
