On Tuesday, after his win, Booker posted a message to his followers and friends on Instagram.

“New Jersey, I’m once again humbled by the faith you’ve placed in me. Thank you for standing with me and allowing me the honor of representing our great state in Washington,” he wrote. “Our work is far from finished.”

Dawson also congratulated him on the post, writing, “Congratulations my love. I’m so grateful for your leadership and your team. We need you.”

The couple confirmed they were dating in March 2019 and have been supporting each other ever since. However, she did admit in February that dating a politician was “scary” since she’s a “wild person.”

“I could be asked to serve my country, and that’s scary to me because I’m a wild person,” she told Women’s Health, adding that she was still excited about their future and “what we can create together.”

“I feel a lot of life ahead of us. It’s been beautiful feeling nurtured and taken care of. I’ve never been this close to someone. We make sure we connect,” she explained. “That’s something I’ve taken for granted in the past.”

In April, Dawson gushed to ET about her beau, sharing that he “marathoned all of Jane the Virgin.”

“He’s seen every episode just because he wanted to see the last two seasons with me,” she told ET. “So it’s been very sweet. He’s been very encouraging and very supportive.”

“He’s just a good, really good guy through and through,” she added. “To see him, and witness him, and love him through such incredible, powerful stages in his life in just this past year… [it’s] been amazing to see how his energy is just unwavering. It’s powerful.”
