Riley Roberts: 5 things to know amid breakup reports
- Roberts is from Arizona, according to Business Insider. He enrolled in Boston University, studying sociology and finance, after graduating from high school.
- Roberts returned to Arizona after graduation, and has since helped launch websites for small businesses as a UX growth consultant. He also reportedly assisted with the marketing of HomeBinder, an online home-management service, back in 2014, as per People. Roberts' skills reportedly helped AOC early in her campaign, when he helped her with digital marketing and Facebook outreach, Business Insider reported.
- AOC and Roberts met when they were in Boston University. It was a meeting in ‘true nerdy fashion’ as the Congresswoman had told Vogue. They used to go to Coffee & Conversations – which was a weekly student town hall which the university's dean of students ran. Roberts was reportedly one of AOC's main sparring partners at an event where topics reportedly ranged from the war in Afghanistan to pop culture.
- AOC and Roberts reportedly broke up after college, with the former remaining on the East Coast. However, the lawmaker's mother told Daily Mail that they ‘reconnected’ in 2015, after spending some time apart. Roberts later moved to New York as well, to be close to AOC and worked out of their Bronx apartment.
- AOC's mother is reportedly a fan of Roberts'. “I love him. He is the most loving, supporting person I’ve seen. He helped her tremendously during the election. I know they love children, and they do very well with children from the family. So, I hope they get married soon, although they haven’t told me anything about their plans,” she had told the Daily Mail. Roberts has reportedly been very supportive of AOC's career as well, with the Congresswoman telling GQ “He has been so supportive and willing and deeply engaging. He’s not a witness to this. He dives into the fray for himself in that he uses what we go through as opportunities for personal growth. And it’s incredible.”
