“It’s time. We were thinking about moving in together anyway, but especially during all of this, it’s been really intense,” she added. The 51-year-old politician and Rosario have been dating since December 2018 but despite the distance, both have made it work. “Every morning that we don’t wake up together, he sends me a song, which means every morning he holds our relationship in his mind and heart for a few minutes before he goes off into his big day,” confessed Rosario to Women’s Health Magazine. Rosario also confessed that she feels thrilled to be in a relationship where someone has her back. Though Cory and Rosario have spent time apart due to their busy schedules she makes sure to wear an anchor bracelet he gave her as a gift. “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. That’s something I’ve taken for granted in the past,” expressed the actress.
