Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker announced Tuesday he’s engaged to girlfriend Alexis Lewis, sharing beachside photos and a “soul-affirming” message on Instagram.
Booker, 56, said he surprised Lewis during a proposal in Kauai, Hawaii, complete with dancers and a ukulele before a favorite song played, he told reporters Tuesday. He praised Lewis as “one of the greatest unearned blessings” who has “transformed” him. (RELATED: ‘Let Me Finish!’: Cory Booker Blows His Lid During Fiery Exchange With Ted Cruz)
“Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life,” the senator wrote. “She has transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love.”
“I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged! I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée,” Booker continued, posting multiple photos including one on bended knee.
He recounted that a friend lured Lewis to the spot under the guise of a “traditional Hawaiian greeting,” before performers launched into a song meaningful to her — and then he popped the question.

Lewis is senior vice president of investments at Brasa Capital Management, according to the firm’s website.
