While on the subject of relationships, Dawson spoke a bit about her current relationship with former presidential candidate Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey. She mentions that when it comes to that relationship it was a first for her in terms of being “responsible about my choice of love.”
“It’s the first time I felt like I had to be responsible about my choice of love, which is a challenging thing to do. If you fall in love, you fall in love. But there’s another aspect I had to consider: what this meant in [putting] a microscope on my family and particularly on my daughter.”
Dawson added, “But in each other I think we found our person.”
This past Valentine’s Day, the actress shared a video of her and Sen. Booker titled “Spread The Love Unconditional.”
She also shared a photo of her and Booker writing, “Get you a Valentine that looks at you like this-even if that means grabbing a mirror…! Wishing everyone the greatest love today and always.”
Back in April, Dawson also shared a picture of her and Booker kissing. She wrote, “My love, I’m always impressed with how you exude such grace and civility while expressing your passion and brilliance in response to these tumultuous times.”
She added, “I’m so grateful for your voice and dedication. Your love lifts us all up. Thank you. You and your team continue to grow humanity and build community daily, giving me faith that indeed We Will Rise. I see you. I love you!”
