WASHINGTON — Speculation is swirling over whether Democrat darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has quietly split with her longtime beau Riley Roberts — following her public announcement this week that she was freezing her eggs to feel “more in control of my life.”
The “Squad” star, 36 — who got engaged to Roberts in April 2022 — has been spotted in recent months without her engagement ring and it was noticeably absent in May when the pair was photographed together at a Manhattan burger joint.
She also carefully chose her words when asked this week by a reporter about her choice to freeze her eggs and whether her “fiancé was supportive of it.”
“All of my loved ones have been very supportive,” she said.

Breakup rumors have spread among the Democrat party, with one insider speculating that they split because of her ambitions to seek higher office.
**SNIP**
Other Dem sources pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t worn a ring for some time and that Roberts hasn’t been in the congresswoman’s House financial disclosures for years, having last been listed for an August 2022 trip to Italy.
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.”

Yawn. Same feeling about WNBA threads.
Much ado about nuttin!
I’m sorry, but we should care what this twit is doing because ... ?
Seriously though, it would be better for the gene pool if she never breeds.
He has been short tempered after nursing his injuries when he tripped over his apron strings on the way to pick up after her. Went straight into a pile of her fan mail and then down three steps on the split level layout and straight onto his face on the hardwood floor. Nasty bruises.
Maybe she’s planning on getting an adadictomy.
I’m sure she was bad enough to live with when she was hot. Now that she’s getting fat, why would anyone bother with her?
Does this story have anything whatsoever to do with a farm bill the House might be considering?
She’s just as dumb about reproductive biology as she is about everything else. My wife worked for seven years at the Stanford Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Clinic. She tells me, “Eggs do not freeze well. Embryos do.”
Find a husband honey. We know you can do it.
If she has a child who has an emergency or is harmed by a criminal , who is she going to call to solve the case after law enforcement is defunded?
Are the fat chicks in red framed glasses going to solve cold cases?
I personally know men who have wives that are like what I imagine AOC to be. One poor guy told me in confidence that “her means of communication esp with the children is screaming”. He was not exaggerating. One time she thought I had left and she let out on the oldest girl with a high pitched one over a laundry issue. Reminds me how great it is to be single.
“ … has been spotted in recent months without her engagement ring and it was noticeably absent in May when the pair was photographed together at a Manhattan burger joint.”
Also could be related to weight gain.
methinks she’s already as ‘high’ as she needs to go
Her career will end in ‘28 if she runs for POTUS. Schumer’s seat would be a safer bet as he just might quit. She’ll be what, 38? She’ll have the benefits of parenthood while the hired help raises the kids. Nice work if you can get it.
She’s been “engaged” for 4 years? LOL
Looks like a girly man to me! (big surprise there, of course) /s
time for her to get back on her knees beside Kamala to raise money the old way they learned
Be nice to your kids!
They’ll be picking out your Nursing Home some day!
*evil grin*
Not necessarily. We’re talking about AOC-Eggs here, vs Hen’s eggs. Who knows? She might have been receiving pressure from Latina women ‘wondering why’ she had a White fiance, vs a Latino one. (West Side Story’s “Stick To Your Own KInd!”
So, for sake of appearances. she throws Riley under the bus of PC imagery. From what I’ve always seen, Women can be hard of other women about choosing somebody who’s ‘different’.
