Cory Booker Girlfriend & Dating History: He Dated a Top Celebrity

Cory Booker, the New Jersey senator who was undergoing a marathon filibuster, does not have a wife.

Although he has never married, Booker has had a high-profile dating life, with a prominent celebrity as a girlfriend.

In 2022, People reported that Booker and actress Rosario Dawson had split.

They had dated for two years. They remained good friends, the magazine noted.

Booker discussed the relationship to The Washington Post.

"I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours," Booker told The Post in 2019. "I had trouble asking for her phone number ... I think I said something really stupid like, 'Uh, how would I get in touch with you?' And she mercifully said something like, 'Oh, you want my phone number?' And my insides were like, 'Hell, yeah!'"

Dawson told The Post that Booker was "so charming."

In 2016, Booker dated Instagram influencer and poet Cleo Wade, according to Page Six. Wade was previously a stylist for pop star Katy Perry and was linked to actor Robert Pattinson, Page Six reported.

In 2019, when he was dating Dawson, Booker publicly stated that he had a "boo," referring to a girlfriend, according to CNN. When he ran for president, Booker was the only bachelor in the race, CNN reported.

He told The Post that year that his romantic life was "evolving."

In 2019, he said that Dawson taught him a lot "about love," Ebony reported.

"She is just a deeply soulful person and has taught me a lot of lessons about love already," he said to the publication.

"Sometimes you show the greatest strength when you make yourself vulnerable," Booker added. "She really has this nurturing spirit that’s made me more courageous, not just in the love I project and want to see in our country, but I think in our own personal relationships to love more fearlessly. I’m very, very blessed to be with somebody who makes me a better person.”
