Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is officially single, and thirsty hopefuls are treating her canceled engagement like an open casting call.
TMZ confirmed Tuesday that AOC and Riley Roberts ended their engagement after Puck correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell first reported the split.
Caldwell said the couple quietly separated roughly two years ago, although neither AOC nor Roberts has publicly explained when their relationship ended.
Looksmaxxer Clavicular weighed in just weeks after AOC trashed him, saying: “I can fix her.”
Women also joined the newly reopened conversation across social platforms, turning a private breakup into an unusually bipartisan thirst trap.
The digital rush lands after years of strangers sexualizing AOC and inventing romances around one of Washington’s most visible women.
AllHipHop previously covered her warning about a parody account that falsely portrayed her as romantically interested in Elon Musk.
AOC and Roberts met at Boston University, dated for years and announced their engagement in Puerto Rico in April 2022.
“He has been so supportive and willing and deeply engaging. He’s not a witness to this. He dives into the fray,” she previously told GQ.
News of the long-hidden separation followed AOC’s announcement that she is freezing her eggs and publicly documenting the demanding medical process.
“It has taken me time to consider, weigh and save up for, and it is of a sensitive matter and a personal matter and usually I keep my private life quite private, but I have made the decision to start freezing my eggs,” AOC told Instagram followers.
During an ABC News interview, AOC said sharing reproductive decisions matters because women increasingly face restricted access to care nationwide.
“I think it’s important for us as leaders to have these conversations and share these processes, especially for working women across the country and normalize them,” she said.
AOC’s representative offered no comment to TMZ, leaving the internet’s eager suitors without application instructions or a confirmed deadline.
