# AOC freezes eggs, renews focus on fiance Riley Roberts 2026-08-09T19:44:35+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 36-year-old New York congresswoman, said she is freezing her eggs and shared parts of the process on Instagram before discussing it on ABC News. She said she wanted to normalise the conversation for working women, especially as the administration restricts reproductive care. The announcement has turned fresh attention on her fiance of over a decade, Riley Roberts. Roberts, an Arizona native, studied sociology and finance at Boston University, where he met Ocasio-Cortez at a weekly student discussion group called 'Coffee & Conversations', according to People magazine. They dated in college, broke up, and reconnected around 2015, per her mother Blanca. Roberts helped with digital marketing during her first campaign. The couple got engaged in Puerto Rico in April 2022. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, egg freezing, relationships, Riley Roberts, US politics, working women Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/aoc-freezes-eggs-puts-fiance-riley-roberts-in-spotlight/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
