Sen. Cory Booker has married his fiancé Alexis Lewis in Washington, DC, less than three months after announcing their engagement in an Instagram post.
Only close family were present as the New Jersey Senator, 56, tied the knot on Saturday in an interfaith ceremony blessed by both a pastor and a rabbi — Lewis is Jewish and Booker Christian, according to the New York Times.
The venue’s location wasn’t disclosed for privacy reasons.
On Monday, the pair legally wed at the US District Court in Newark, where Booker rose to prominence as mayor — with their parents as witnesses.
The couple celebrated afterward with Italian pastries and a vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cake to fit Booker’s vegan diet.
The pair were introduced in May 2024 by a mutual friend known for matchmaking, the Times reported.
Ms Lewis, 38, who was living in LA at the time, went on a blind date with Booker while visiting family in DC.
