Riley Roberts seems supportive, unpretentious, and comfortable with being invisible. joshgondelman writes on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s charmingly normal fiancé, in this excerpt from our book 'Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC'
The happy couple. Photo: James Devaney/GC Images This essay originally appeared in Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC, a book-length, kaleidoscopic biography by the editors of New York Magazine. We’re republishing it today on the news of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Riley Roberts’s engagement.
Their interactions in the documentary are sweet, and their story is remarkably basic . Roberts himself seems regular too. He’s not a celebrity, nor is he one of those nauseatingly wealthy non-celebrity types whom you’ll see in a photo with Taylor Swift or Rihanna, later finding out from People magazine that his grandfather invented cyanide or fracking or whatever and now, as long as he keeps up his CrossFit regimen, he gets to date pop stars. Specifically, Roberts seems Boston Regular.
After the initial flurry of attention, Roberts has mostly stayed out of the public eye, with the exceptions of two appearances on Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram account. One was the aforementioned glowup. The other was a brief video of him alongside AOC, filmed during an informal Q&A session, in response to a question about “combating racism as a white person.
Given the dearth of information provided, I’ve been unable to avoid projecting my own thoughts onto Roberts and Ocasio-Cortez. I am always charmed by couples who stay together after one member becomes famous. Doesn’t everyone feel that way? I think it’s because we like to imagine ourselves acting the same way: remaining loyal, unswayed by the access and opportunity our newfound renown has conferred upon us.
