Cory Booker, the New Jersey senator who was undergoing a marathon filibuster, does not have a wife.

Although he has never married, Booker has had a high-profile dating life, with a prominent celebrity as a girlfriend.

In 2022, People reported that Booker and actress Rosario Dawson had split.

They had dated for two years. They remained good friends, the magazine noted.

Booker discussed the relationship to The Washington Post.

“I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours,” Booker told The Post in 2019. “I had trouble asking for her phone number … I think I said something really stupid like, ‘Uh, how would I get in touch with you?’ And she mercifully said something like, ‘Oh, you want my phone number?’ And my insides were like, ‘Hell, yeah!'”

Dawson told The Post that Booker was “so charming.”

In 2016, Booker dated Instagram influencer and poet Cleo Wade, according to Page Six. Wade was previously a stylist for pop star Katy Perry and was linked to actor Robert Pattinson, Page Six reported.

In 2019, when he was dating Dawson, Booker publicly stated that he had a “boo,” referring to a girlfriend, according to CNN. When he ran for president, Booker was the only bachelor in the race, CNN reported.

He told The Post that year that his romantic life was “evolving.”

In 2019, he said that Dawson taught him a lot “about love,” Ebony reported.

“She is just a deeply soulful person and has taught me a lot of lessons about love already,” he said to the publication.

“Sometimes you show the greatest strength when you make yourself vulnerable,” Booker added. “She really has this nurturing spirit that’s made me more courageous, not just in the love I project and want to see in our country, but I think in our own personal relationships to love more fearlessly. I’m very, very blessed to be with somebody who makes me a better person.”

You can’t eat healthy without getting lots of fruits and veggies onto your plate. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, especially if you’re pressed for time in the morning or during the work day. What many people are starting to do instead is opting for on-the-go juices or a shake and drinking them on the go. They’re much more cost-effective to make at home, and Amazon has the perfect solution in this bestselling juicer, which is over half off even after the close of the Big Spring Sale.

U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s filibuster is already in the record books.

As of 7 p.m. on April 1, 2025, on the East Coast, the senator had spoken for more than 24 hours straight.

A live stream video on YouTube shows that Booker was still speaking as of that point.

According to The Associated Press, at the 23-hour mark, Booker’s filibuster was already the second longest in U.S. history and he was still going.

Then-Sen. Strom Thurmond set the record for the longest filibuster in 1957 with a 24-hour, 18-minute speech, according to NPR.

“These are not normal times in our nation,” Booker said at the beginning of his lengthy speech, according to The AP. “And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.

How was he able to speak for so long? According to the AP, some colleagues asked him questions so that he could stop speaking at times.

However, Booker “has not sat down, or even wandered far from his desk on the Senate floor,” USA Today reported.

What about bathroom breaks or dinner? Nope.

According to USA Today, the New Jersey senator “started speaking at 7 p.m. on Monday night,” and he was still going at that time the next evening.  

Booker “has not eaten,” USA Today reported, noting that Booker “has periodically sipped from two glasses of water.” 

“And he has not left the chamber to go to the bathroom,” according to USA Today.

How long will Booker speak? The senator said he will speak “for as long as I am physically able,” NPR reported.

Sen. Rand Paul once lasted 13 hours filibustering, but quit when he had to take a bathroom break, NPR reported.

Los Angeles Sparks big Cameron Brink saw her 2024 rookie season cut short due to a torn ACL suffered on June 18.

While she didn’t get to prove why she deserved to be the No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Brink will head into the 2025 season with something to prove – and a new teammate in WNBA star Kelsey Plum.

“I look up to Kelsey so much … I was lucky enough to train with her while I was still in high school going into college. So we both have the same trainer, Susan King Borchardt … just seeing how hard she works from a young age to seeing her have success through the pros, winning championships ― knowing it’s always felt like she’s had my back,” she said of her new teammate, via For The Win.

“You know, it’s kind of like whoever works with Susan ― it’s kind of like the sisterhood because she kicks our butts … Kelsey’s just a really great teammate, and she’s gonna elevate the level of play for everyone. So, we’re excited to have her.”

Before she hits the court for the Sparks next month, Brink shouted out a friend with a post that caught the attention of her fans on social media.

Brink is no stranger to turning a few heads with her swimsuit posts after joining Sports Illustrated Swimsuit as a rookie earlier this year.

“Known for her undeniable skill and towering presence on the court, the 22-year-old brings her fierce energy to her SI Swimsuit debut. From her impressive college career at Stanford to her rookie year in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks, Brink is not only dominating the court but also redefining the intersection of fashion and sports with her sleek, standout pre-game tunnel looks,” SI Swimsuit said.
