Who Is Olivia Nuzzi, the Star Reporter Engulfed in RFK Jr ‘Sexting’ Scandal?
New York magazine’s star political reporter, Olivia Nuzzi, is at the center of a bombshell report that emerged Thursday revealing that she had a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the failed presidential candidate who’s nearly four decades her senior.
News of the affair spread like wildfire, with the scandal being all-the-more intriguing because Nuzzi, 31, was engaged while Kennedy, 70, has been married to actress Cheryl Hines since 2014. She also profiled Kennedy for a splashy story in the magazine in November 2023.
Nuzzi isn’t out of a job over the scandal — New York opted to put its star Washington correspondent on leave instead — but her engagement to Politico’s Ryan Lizza is no more.
