Sen. Cory Booker marries fiancé Alexis Lewis in private Washington ceremony

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., announced that he married his fiancé Alexis Lewis on Saturday, sharing photos of him and his newlywed bride on social media.

Booker and Lewis tied the knot in a private ceremony in Washington, D.C., less than three months after announcing their engagement on Instagram.

On Sunday, Booker posted that they were “overflowing with gratitude,” writing, “We said ‘yes’ in two places that shaped us — Cory’s beloved Newark, and Alexis’ hometown of Washington, D.C. — first at the courthouse, then with our families. With full hearts and so grateful.”

The couple married in an interfaith ceremony — Booker is Christian and Lewis is Jewish — at an undisclosed location, The New York Times reported. The couple was legally married Monday at the federal courthouse in Newark with only their parents present.

The couple told the Times they met through a mutual friend known for dating in May 2024. Their blind date in Washington lasted more than five hours. When Booker asked for a second date the next night, Lewis said she had to catch a flight for a work trip to Newark. Booker persuaded her to delay her flight so they could meet again in Newark, where he was also going.

Booker later described this second date as “even more magical”, saying they ate at a tapas restaurant before showing her the places in the city that shaped her life. The night ended with their first kiss in front of the Sacré-Cœur Cathedral Basilica.

“My girlfriends and I are saying, ‘Change your flight, change your life,’ because that’s exactly what happened,” Lewis told the outlet. “After so many years alone, I’m not entirely sure I believed I would get married. But now we’ve found ourselves at this point in our lives, after some epic personal journeys. And that’s worth celebrating.”
