Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is the subject of renewed relationship rumors as she begins a public journey to freeze her eggs. The New York Post reports that the “Squad” member, 36, has been spotted recently without her engagement ring, despite being engaged to Riley Roberts since April 2022.
Daily Mail reports a different claim: it says AOC secretly split from Roberts and called off their engagement about two years earlier, before her egg-freezing plan. Both outlets connect the current discussions about fertility treatment to questions about her relationship status, but they diverge on whether the relationship is ongoing or ended.
Overall, the sources agree that AOC is publicly discussing egg freezing and that her engagement ring is not currently visible in recent appearances. They differ in the specificity and timing of their account of her relationship with Roberts, ranging from an apparent ring change to an alleged break-up and cancelled engagement.
