Tracey Collins is the current partner of Eric Adams and has been in a relationship with Adams for a long time. She is the head of the Department of Education in New York City. She was born in 1962, in New Orleans, Louisiana where she grew up in a large family with four sisters and several nephews and nieces.
Unlike the typical stereotype of New York City’s “outgoing” First Lady, Tracey likes to have a low profile and apparently was absent from Adams’ Mayoral campaigns as well as the victory parties organized in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

“Stop the Sag” movement
Tracey has long been in support of youth empowerment alongside Eric Adams. She had partnered up with Adams in 2010 to organize a billboard campaign called “Stop the Sag” to tackle the unpalatable trend of wearing low-slung pants among youngsters, throughout Brooklyn. “Children will be children. But as adults we need to be on record and tell them they’re doing something wrong”, says Adams to the Daily News.
Gracie mansion: Mayor Adams’ residence.
Tracey currently resides in a two-bedroom apartment at Fort Lee in New Jersey where Adams spends most of his weekends. It is still uncertain if she will move into Gracie’s mansion with Adams.
In addition to heading the Education Department, Collins has authored a number of books. She has 14 books on Goodreads with a total of 1007 ratings. Stumbling into Sobriety and Sweet Promptings in 2007, whose introduction was written by Adams, are among her most popular works. She has also formerly worked as a teacher and a principal in schools in New Orleans and New York City.
