Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly in a relationship with Roxanna Valenzuela, the mayor of South Tucson and a mother of two. Sources say the pair’s connection emerged during the summer and overlapped with de Blasio’s previous 10-month relationship with progressive activist Nomiki Konst. Friends of de Blasio say they are worried his new dating situation may be stressing him emotionally.
Valenzuela allegedly followed de Blasio to New York after their relationship turned rocky and purportedly pressured him to cancel a scheduled trip in Puerto Rico so he could address her surprise visit. Some of de Blasio’s friends describe his recent behavior as uncharacteristic and believe he may be going through a personal crisis.
Since his official separation in 2023 from his wife Chirlane McCray, the former mayor has remained active in the dating scene and recently signed on as a contributor for CNN.
