In a season already dense with political upheavals, shifting alliances and a flurry of Washington intrigue, Page Six of The New York Post in a report on Sunday managed to pierce through the noise with a rare dose of celebratory glamour: New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is officially a married man. The 56-year-old Democratic senator revealed Sunday that he and 38-year-old Alexis Lewis, a director of investments at Brasa Capital Management, tied the knot in a pair of ceremonies that fused personal history, spiritual heritage, and a narrative every bit as compelling as the senator’s long public life.

Booker and Lewis shared the news on Instagram through a joint post featuring photographs from both wedding celebrations — the first held at a Newark courthouse, the second in Washington, D.C. The announcement immediately drew widespread attention across political and cultural media, including enthusiastic coverage in Page Six, which chronicled not only the romance but the aesthetic details, from Lewis’ fashion choices to the comparative commentary from fans stunned by her resemblance to Booker’s high-profile ex, actress Rosario Dawson.

According to the information provided in the Page Six report, the couple’s love story unfolded with unusual speed, even by Washington’s often theatrically compressed timelines. Booker and Lewis met in May 2024 after being set up by a mutual friend renowned for matchmaking — someone known in D.C. social circles for forging surprisingly durable romantic pairings.

Their first date, as reported by the New York Times and amplified by Page Six, lasted five hours, an unusually extended encounter for two public figures accustomed to heavily choreographed schedules. The senator — who has weathered a presidential run, Senate re-election battles, and the daily turbulence of national politics — persuaded Lewis to delay her flight to Los Angeles just to secure a second date the following evening.

From there, the romance accelerated. By April, they had moved in together. By August, Booker had proposed during a trip to Hawaii — and by November 24, they were legally married in Newark, followed by a November 29 celebration in Lewis’ home city of Washington. In the political sphere, such rapid progression is rare, if not unheard of, and the Page Six report noted with relish the fairy-tale velocity of the couple’s story.

The couple intentionally chose to wed in two symbolic locations — a decision the Page Six report emphasized as equal parts sentimental and political. Their official courthouse ceremony in Newark honored Booker’s longtime connection to the city he once served as mayor. For decades, Newark has been the emotional and political nexus of Booker’s public identity. His municipal reforms, community initiatives, and political ascent were anchored there.

Lewis, who grew up in Washington, hosted the second celebration in the nation’s capital, making the dual ceremony a tribute not only to their individual pasts but to the merging of two personal geographies.

“Overflowing with gratitude,” they wrote. “We said ‘I do’ in two places that shaped us — Cory’s beloved Newark and Alexis’s hometown of Washington, D.C.”

No political nuptials would be complete without sartorial scrutiny, and Page Six delivered with gusto. Lewis’ wardrobe — elegant, modern, curated — became an instant talking point across social media.

For the Newark courthouse ceremony, Lewis wore a striking high-collared white dress with a structured cape and black heels. Its crisp, architectural silhouette delivered an unexpected modernism that Page Six likened to the minimalist fashion favored in contemporary Hollywood.

For the Washington celebration, she wore a House of Gilles strapless white lace gown — a dramatically different aesthetic, more romantic and timeless. The stark shift between the two looks underscored the duality of the events and the thoughtful symbolism woven through the affair.

The Page Six report was quick to note a twist that social media users also seized on: fans pointed out Lewis’ resemblance to Booker’s former girlfriend, actress Rosario Dawson. Dawson and Booker famously dated from 2019 until 2022, during which she was a fixture in Page Six coverage of Booker’s life outside politics.

One amused X user quipped: “Rosario… Daw—oh, nevermind,” while another quipped that Lewis could pass as Dawson’s “clone.” Still others asked if she was Rosario’s sister.

To Dawson’s credit, she responded graciously and publicly to the wedding announcement, writing on Instagram: “Love Love! Congratulations you two!”

The distinction — and similarity — between the women quickly became part of the online chatter, with Page Six chronicling the reactions in real time.

Booker has never been shy in discussing his relationships in a reflective, even philosophical tone. In his 2019 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” he spoke warmly about Dawson’s “deeply soulful” nature and her ability to “make [him] a better person.” That legacy of vulnerability carried into his new relationship.

In announcing his engagement to Lewis back in August, Booker posted: “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.”

His comments drew wide attention from Page Six, which observed that Booker has long spoken of love in terms that transcend the political into the philosophical and emotional — a trait that sets him apart in a political landscape not known for intimacy or reflection.

Both the Newark and Washington events reflected the couple’s interfaith backgrounds. Their Washington celebration featured blessing rituals from both a rabbi and a pastor — a choice that Page Six reported as a symbolic merging of Jewish and Christian traditions.

Lewis, who is Jewish, and Booker, who is Christian, crafted a ceremony emphasizing unity, respect for religious traditions, and shared values — a powerful statement during a period of both political division and global tensions affecting Jewish communities worldwide.

While Booker remains a national political figure, the couple’s approach to their wedding struck a tone of intentional intimacy. The courthouse ceremony was attended only by parents; the Washington event involved a larger circle of family and friends.

Still, as the Page Six report highlighted, the couple’s willingness to share the celebration via curated images on Instagram allowed the public to witness the joy without sacrificing privacy.

The images — elegant, calm, filled with unforced warmth — contrasted with the usual frenzied political calendar surrounding Booker, making the photographs not just personal milestones but notable cultural moments.

Booker’s marriage to Lewis marks a new chapter in a personal life that has often been overshadowed by his political career. As the Page Six report noted, his relationships have frequently been the subject of speculation, fascination, and analysis — sometimes eclipsing policy debates or committee work.

Lewis, a financial executive with expertise in real estate investment, brings her own accomplished background to the partnership. Their nearly immediate decision to move in together in April 2024 signaled a seriousness and compatibility that observers say was evident from their earliest public appearances.

Now, married and publicly united, the couple steps into a future that intersects the personal with the political, the intimate with the national, and the private home with the public responsibilities of one of the country’s most visible senators.

In an age when political narratives are often harsh, divisive, or chaotic, the marriage of Cory Booker and Alexis Lewis — romantic, thoughtful, and beautifully portrayed — offered a rare moment of collective delight.

Through its detailed coverage, Page Six captured the visual, cultural, and emotional resonance of the event, framing the wedding as not merely a celebrity-adjacent spectacle but a testament to personal reinvention and the capacity for joy even in turbulent times.

As Booker and Lewis move forward — from Newark to Washington, from blind date to courthouse ceremony to interfaith wedding — their story stands out as one of the most compelling public romances of the year, reminding political observers and pop-culture readers alike that even in the most scrutinized public arenas, love can still surprise, elevate, and inspire.
