New York Magazine has placed its Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, 31, on leave after it was revealed that she had engaged in a romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 70. The relationship reportedly began after Nuzzi wrote a profile on Kennedy in November 2023. The magazine stated that had it been aware of the relationship, Nuzzi would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign. New York Magazine is conducting a thorough third-party review and has expressed regret over the violation of readers' trust. Nuzzi has admitted to the relationship, describing it as emotional and digital, not physical, and expressed regret for not disclosing it sooner. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is married to actress Cheryl Hines. Nuzzi is engaged to Politico’s Ryan Lizza.
