Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has reportedly ended her relationship with her longtime fianc\u00e9, Riley Roberts, after more than 10 years, including their 2022 engagement. Although they broke up approximately two years ago and called off their engagement, Ocasio-Cortez publicly documented her decision to freeze her eggs, which she described as \u201cvery daunting,\u201d without mentioning Roberts. She and roberts met at Boston University, and their relationship was <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >previously scrutinized due<\/a> to her congressional ethics disclosures, where she listed Roberts as her \u201cspouse\u201d despite not being legally married.The news about their breakup comes amid questions about her marriage status, especially since she had not married Roberts despite the engagement. ocasio-Cortez has also faced investigations related to her congressional ethics but remains a potential Democratic presidential candidate for 2028.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n
