Rep. Yassamin Ansari is dating YouTuber Jack Cocchiarella Published October 1, 2026 at 5:00 pm PDT Rep. Yassamin Ansari has a new guy in her life, and a decade later, dating 24-year-old YouTuber and progressive political commentator Jack Cocchiarella… TMZ has learned. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ… the two have been seeing each other for the past few months and things are going well. They met when Cocchiarella interviewed Ansari in the spring of 2025… they started dating as friends a few months later and things eventually turned romantic. Ansari, a freshman Democratic congresswoman representing Arizona’s 3rd District, is kicking off her campaign as she prepares for re-election in November. Cocchiarella has cultivated a large following on social media, including more than 1 million subscribers on YouTube. He also sat down with prominent Democrats… including Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani and Hakeem Jeffries. We caught up with Yassamin, who tells us… “I’m not commenting on my personal life, nor is it anyone’s business. Right now, ICE is terrorizing communities across the country with no accountability, and Trump’s reckless war in Iran continues. I’m focused on helping turn the House so we can pass meaningful legislation—that’s what we should all be focused on.” Jack also tells TMZ that he doesn’t like to comment on his personal life. Let’s face it…when have age limits mattered in DC?
