The Story in Brief
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 36-year-old New York congresswoman, has revealed she is freezing her eggs. She walked followers through the process on Instagram before discussing it on ABC News' "This Week", saying she had been saving money and wanted to help normalise such conversations for working women.
The announcement has drawn fresh attention to her fiancé, Riley Roberts. The two met at Boston University through a weekly student gathering. They dated, split after graduation, and reconnected around 2015. Roberts, an Arizona native, worked as a UX consultant and helped with Ocasio-Cortez's digital outreach during her early campaign. He proposed in Puerto Rico in April 2022.

The criticism that Indian media should cover local issues instead misses the point, both can coexist. A fair test: do any Indian politicians show similar transparency about personal health choices that affect their careers?
