Love is officially dead.
💔 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez splits from fiancé Riley Roberts. https://t.co/QIdLpvYX38 pic.twitter.com/WNvmZn8TQr

There's a reason Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't mentioning her fiancé Riley Roberts when she talks about freezing her eggs ... TMZ has confirmed they broke up.
AOC and Riley actually split roughly two years ago, and called off their engagement, according to Puck's Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell ... who was first to report the couple's demise.
Multiple sources on Capitol Hill tell TMZ, it's felt like ages since the pair were seen together publicly. That's not hyperbole ... Riley and AOC were last photographed at 2021's Met Gala.
About a year later, in May 2022, the congresswoman confirmed she and RR were engaged. While we've confirmed they're dunzo, we can't say for certain when the break-up went down.
Apparently, they haven't been together for some time, but no one noticed it. Big Ginger wasn't all that memorable, apparently.
@aoc hey if you want to talk just let me know. https://t.co/mD2sEWYyFQ

Jarvis is ready to take one for the team.
Oh so this is why she's freezing her eggs https://t.co/BT9So2V9TB

Maybe redheads really don't have souls.
My time is finally here @aoc https://t.co/4dyxeojktK pic.twitter.com/SEk2FdgiOc

Lots of men think they can fix her. Good luck.
Lol, yeah... If she's freezing her eggs you aren't in her long term plans. Completely predictable. AOC is probably already dating another guy. https://t.co/y9RBAB8ncK pic.twitter.com/rsbUjhVjZj

If so, TMZ better get on the story.
Riley Roberts, I’m here for you during this difficult time https://t.co/mc7CYic68E

Her timing is so calculated with EVERYTHING 🤣 https://t.co/G89t1d1T0F

Their engagement lasted longer than most YouTube marriages. https://t.co/oiOldqyrxS

Apparently, it's been over for a while, but no one mentioned it.

Oh, be nice.
AOC, Many of the ugliest men in my life are very interested in you. I will forward all of their phone numbers to you in DM. https://t.co/F92YcTE5sB

What a service.
Smart move. A white man would have been terrible for her 2028 campaign even if he is gay.

Not a good fit with her whole 'white men are the cause of all bad things' schtick, actually.
Here's them photographed together in May at a local burger joint.

It is incorrect to say they were not photographed together. https://t.co/qy7bgNA6IY
The plot thickens. It's like a good telenovela.
Dang. Wasted 15 years of her life, engaged for 5 years, neither one of them committed (either he didn't or she wouldn't), she turned 36, has to freeze her eggs, now she is prioritizing her career. Is there a more possible millennial story than this?

That's depressing.
