Any way we can veto this split?
After a little more than two years of dating, actress Rosario Dawson and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker have gone their separate ways, a source confirmed to E! News, sharing that the pair are "still friends." (Sen. Booker's office declined to comment.)
The 42-year-old Someone Great actress and Booker, 52, first met in 2018 at a political fundraiser, but the sparks didn't immediately fly. Months later, the two reconnected and that's when, the lawmaker revealed to the Washington Post in 2019, the two "talked for hours and hours."
Booker told the outlet that he was initially nervous while asking for Dawson's phone number. "I think I said something really stupid like, 'Uh, how would I get in touch with you?'" he told the outlet. "And she mercifully said something like, 'Oh, you want my phone number?' And my insides were like, 'Hell, yeah!'"
Their romance seemingly became official in 2019 after Dawson and Booker were seen at the movies together and photographed attending the Broadway show Dear Evan Hansen.
Later that year, Dawson confirmed the rumors by telling the Washington Post that she was "absolutely in love" with the former attorney and their relationship was "so exciting."
After Booker was reelected to the U.S. Senate in November 2020, the actress shared a heartfelt message commemorating his huge win on Instagram.
"So proud of and grateful for you my love," she captioned a photo of herself and Booker. "To know your leadership will continue to guide us with love, brilliance, patience, grace and effectiveness is the kind of representation and hope we need."
