Senator Cory Booker Announces Major Life Update in Joint Social Media Post
Cory Booker is now a married man.
The senator, 56, and Alexis Lewis, 38, tied the knot in two separate wedding ceremonies. The couple married for the first time on November 24 at a courthouse in Newark, New Jersey, where Booker was that state’s first African-American U.S. senator.
The duo also celebrated their marriage with family and friends during a wedding ceremony in Booker’s hometown of Washington, D.C., on Saturday, according to multiple Departures.
On Sunday, Booker and Lewis took to Instagram to announce the big news in a joint post.
“Overflowing with gratitude. We said ‘I do’ in two places that shaped us: Cory’s beloved Newark and Alexis’ hometown of Washington, DC, first at the courthouse and then with our families,” the couple wrote in the post.
Booker and the director of the real estate investment firm added: “With full and very grateful hearts.”
In the publication, the newlyweds shared several photographs from the ceremony in the country’s capital. In one photo, Booker and Lewis were seen holding hands after getting married while their guests cheered behind them. In other images, Lewis rocked her strapless white wedding dress as the couple posed with their guests in additional snaps.

In a separate Instagram post on Sunday, the couple also shared a photo of them during their wedding at the Newark courthouse in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The politician, who was running for president in 2020, first announced his engagement to Lewis in an Instagram post in September.
“Alexis is one of the greatest undeserved blessings in my life. She has transformed me, helping me ground and center my inner life, and discover the joy of building a cozy home with someone you love,” he captioned the post alongside photos of the couple showing off Lewis’ ring after the proposal. “I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged!”
Booker added: “We are excited for the journey ahead, having so much fun and feeling deeply grateful for the love, support and energy that so many of you have shared with us.”
