This would be Dawson's first public relationship since she and Sen. Cory Booker broke up.

In February, PEOPLE confirmed the split between Dawson and Booker, 53, as a source close to the New Jersey lawmaker said the former couple aren't dating anymore but remain good friends. They were together for over two years.

Dawson and Booker first crossed paths at a political fundraiser for a mutual friend in summer 2018. Though sparks didn't fly right away, months later the two reconnected.

The pair initially held off on confirming they were dating until Dawson was spotted by TMZ at a Washington, D.C., airport.

"So far so wonderful," she said at the time of her romance with the then-presidential candidate. "He's a wonderful human being. It's good to spend some time together when we can."
