NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Cory Booker sure sounds like a hopeless romantic.
So says the Democratic presidential candidate's girlfriend, actress Rosario Dawson.
"I call him 'Cab,' but Cory sends me a song every day we’re not together, and it’s just stuff like that where I’m sort of like, ‘He is so romantic and beautiful,'" Dawson, 39, told Extra of the 49-year-old U.S. senator from New Jersey.
Dawson further gushed about Booker, who she's been dating since December, "I’m just amazed and excited and blown away by my relationship with this wonderful man and his relationship with me and my family. We're starting that whole thing of putting it out into the greater world. Sometimes it makes me sweat a little bit … right now, I’m just so grateful for my family and grateful for the love of my life."

Dawson also said Booker has done an admirable job at juggling their relationship and his run for the White House.
"It has meant a lot to me to know he’s running for the highest public office in America and he’s still centering us in our relationship and prioritizing, ya know, creating our foundation," she said. "It’s the idea that we can show up for anything that we really want to show up for… and it means a lot to me that in the midst of all of that he’s always showing up for us."
And not surprisingly, she is one of his biggest campaign supporters: "It’s been beautiful to look at this country and look at the possibilities of it through his eyes, and I’m just excited for people to hear what that vision is and excited for him to debate it up there civilly and gracefully and beautifully as he has chosen his campaign to be, and it’s going to be a really powerful time and so I’m excited about it."
