  "account": "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 36-year-old New York congresswoman, recently shared details about her decision to freeze her eggs on Instagram and ABC News’ “This Week.” The move has put attention on her longtime fiancé, Riley Roberts, who has a decade-long relationship with the congresswoman. Roberts, originally from Arizona, studied sociology and finance at Boston University and later worked as a UX growth consultant and marketer for small businesses and Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign. They met in college through a weekly student event and dated while in college before breaking up upon graduation. Roberts moved back to Arizona and Ocasio-Cortez stayed on the East Coast, reuniting around 2015 and moving to New York to be with her. They got engaged in April 2022 and recently announced their engagement on X. Ocasio-Cortez’s upcoming interview on ABC News’ “This Week” aimed to normalize conversations about egg freezing, especially for working women, amidst political discussions about reproductive care.",
