NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ Ex Jasmine Ray Drops Memoir Detailing Secret Romance and City Hall Role

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ former girlfriend, Jasmine Ray, is opening up about their secret romance in her forthcoming memoir, *Political Humanity*, which dives into deeply personal moments from their relationship.

Ray, 42, writes that during their most intimate times, she would gently rub the back of Adams’ head where he had an old surgical scar — a gesture she says soothed him profoundly. “He could sit still for hours if I kept my hand there,” she wrote, “as if my touch eased something no one else could reach.”

The memoir recounts how their relationship began between 2014 and 2016, starting when Ray noticed Adams, then Brooklyn Borough President, sporting a “Mr. Rogers sweater” at Barclays Center. Their connection grew after a romantic walk along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, where they bonded over philosophical conversations about life and purpose. When Ray told him she believed the purpose of life was “to procreate,” Adams was taken aback — and agreed.

Ray also describes an early encounter at a hotel opening, where Adams invited her to a room. She emphasized that their time together remained chaste — both fully clothed — but said it still felt deeply intimate. “He placed his head on my chest and instantly passed out,” she recalled. “It was one of the most intimate experiences of my life.”

Reflecting on their breakup nearly ten years ago, Ray admits it left a lasting mark, saying the relationship’s end made it difficult for her to love anyone else the same way.
