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