Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the radical socialist from New York’s 14th District and face of the Squad, has quietly split from her longtime fiancé Riley Roberts, according to multiple reports.

TMZ reported the breakup Tuesday, citing Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell, who first learned from a Democratic source about 18 months ago that the engagement was over.

Multiple Capitol Hill sources told TMZ the pair have not been seen together publicly in ages. Their last known public photograph together was at the 2021 Met Gala, the same event where AOC wore her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress and where she claimed Roberts as her “spouse” to score him a free ticket.

Just days earlier, the 36-year-old Bronx-Queens Democrat publicly announced she was freezing her eggs, filming herself injecting fertility drugs and declaring she wanted to feel “more in control of my life.”

When a reporter asked if her “fiancé” was supportive, she carefully avoided the word and replied only that “all of my loved ones have been very supportive.”

More from New York Post:

The Bronx and Queens rep referred to him as a “spouse” for that junket so the two could have some food and lodging expenses covered as gifts.

They also appeared together at the coveted Met Gala — where she sported her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress, which garnered significant scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee in a report issued last year. Roberts scored a free ticket to the $35,000-per-person Big Apple event because he was considered her “spouse.”

“The Committee ‘takes very seriously its obligation to provide sound and dispassionate advice to the Members of this House’’ and would have informed Representative Ocasio-Cortez and her counsel that Mr. Roberts did not fit the definition of a ‘spouse’ for purposes of the Charitable Events Exception,” the report stated.

Ethics investigators noted that even as Roberts was claimed as a “spouse” to accept gifts and privately sponsored travel, the fiancé was not forced to disclose his financial interests to the House “as is required of Members who are legally married.”

Some conservative critics speculated that Ocasio-Cortez was holding off on a wedding to avoid scrutiny over Roberts’ finances, as it would be subject to House disclosures after marriage.
