Who Is AOC's Fiancé? What We Know as Progressive Lawmaker Freezes Her Eggs

The New York congresswoman announced over the weekend that she's freezing her eggs as she mulls her political future.

New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she is freezing her eggs in order to feel more in control of her life. The 36-year-old politician, who is engaged to longtime partner Riley Roberts, has not specified her plans to have children. However, she hinted at the possibility of running for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, during an interview on ABC News' "This Week."

Ocasio-Cortez met Roberts while attending Boston University as undergraduates, and they reconnected after a college breakup before getting engaged in May 2022. Roberts, a web developer, moved back to Arizona after college and later helped found a home-management service called Homebinder. The congresswoman and her fiancé have been together for four years.
