According to Fox News, in an Instagram story on Thursday, she had written, "Just wanted to check in. I had a health issue sidelines for the last week or two (don't worry, it wasn't COVID and I'm fine now), but it was right when a series of major events happened."
As per the outlet, AOC had met her fiance while they were both students at Boston University. She met Roberts, a web developer from Arizona, at a coffee shop while they were both students at Boston University.
