What the Evidence Shows
What is established
Approved reporting says Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts were in a romantic relationship lasting multiple years, including a relationship described as lasting more than a decade.
Ocasio-Cortez directly confirmed in 2022 that she and Roberts were engaged.
Context and caveats
Yahoo reported that the engagement was allegedly called off, while the Daily Mail reported an alleged earlier split; both accounts characterize the information as reported and do not provide direct confirmation from Ocasio-Cortez or Roberts.
The approved evidence does not affirmatively establish that the romantic relationship had ended as of August 11, 2026.
The approved evidence does not include a direct public statement from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Riley Roberts confirming or denying a breakup.
