Clavicular apparently believes he has the answer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s newly single status—and that answer is himself.
The 20-year-old looksmaxxing influencer quickly reacted to reports that AOC had ended her longtime relationship with fiancé Riley Roberts. Responding to a social media post about the reported split on Wednesday, Clavicular wrote, “I can fix her.” He later doubled down during a livestream, claiming he would marry the New York congresswoman while also taking jabs at Roberts.
According to TMZ, Clavicular and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have crossed paths publicly before. Last month, the congresswoman was asked about the influencer and the looksmaxxing trend that helped make him popular. Instead of criticizing Clavicular directly, AOC voiced concern that young men are becoming overly focused on their appearance and facing the same body-image pressures women have dealt with for years.
She said there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve your appearance or boost your confidence, but stressed that a person’s self-worth shouldn’t be defined solely by physical looks.
Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, pushed back against those remarks, insisting that looksmaxxing goes far beyond the extreme methods often linked to his name.
Speaking during a July appearance on Hang Out with Sean Hannity, he described looksmaxxing as “the most well-rounded form of self-improvement,” saying it combines traditional fitness with a greater focus on facial aesthetics.
He also argued that media coverage tends to fixate on practices like “bone smashing,” even though he claims that’s only a small part of the content he creates.
Now, following reports of AOC’s split, Clavicular has turned their previous exchange into a very public attempt at flirting. Ocasio-Cortez and Riley Roberts first met while attending Boston University at age 19 and were together for more than a decade before Roberts proposed during a trip to Puerto Rico in 2022.
Although news of their breakup only surfaced this week, the relationship reportedly ended about two years ago. Speculation grew after Ocasio-Cortez recently spoke about freezing her eggs and future family plans without mentioning Roberts.
The comments are just the latest headline involving Clavicular this summer. In June, he opened 424’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation during Paris Fashion Week, walking as Look 01 at the Jardin des Archives Nationales. While in Paris, he was also photographed alongside OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain.
More recently, former Disney star Skai Jackson criticized his online persona, calling him “one of the most insecure people that I have seen” and accusing him of being racist.
Clavicular has also pushed back against some of the more serious claims surrounding his rise to fame. During his interview with Sean Hannity, he denied reports that his April livestream collapse was caused by a drug overdose, saying he had simply consumed too much alcohol without eating and “just knocked out a little bit.”
