Rosario Dawson congratulates boyfriend Cory Booker on Senate reelection: 'So proud of and grateful for you'

Rosario Dawson is over the moon for her boyfriend Cory Booker’s reelection as New Jersey's senator.

The actress, 41, shared a black and white photo of the couple on Instagram Wednesday in which she congratulated Booker, 51, for defending his seat on Tuesday night.

"So proud of and grateful for you my love. I got to vote for you here in New Jersey and am so glad that you overwhelmingly and rightfully won your seat again," Dawson wrote. "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."

She continued, "We saw record turnout and need to keep building so that we can win both houses and make real change! #EyeOnThePrize #MIDTERMS #2022IsAroundTheCorner.”

Booker thanked voters for their support on Tuesday in an Instagram photo he shared, writing, "New Jersey, I'm once again humbled by the faith you've placed in me. Thank you for standing with me and allowing me the honor of representing our great state in Washington. Our work is far from finished.

Dawson commented on the photo with,

"Congratulations my love. I’m so grateful for your leadership and your team. We need you."

 The couple has been dating since the fall of 2018, months after meeting at a political fundraiser for a mutual friend. At the time, the two were on very different — and very busy — schedules, though they made it work despite the distance.
