Political reporter who had alleged romantic relationship with RFK Jr. speaks out
The political reporter who had an alleged romantic relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the campaign trail is speaking out about what she said happened between them.
Olivia Nuzzi, the journalist who was fired by New York Magazine last year over the explosive revelations, spoke with The New York Times ahead of the release of her book, “American Canto,” which addresses the “love” she had for Kennedy, a presidential candidate before he endorsed President Donald Trump and joined his administration as Health and Human Services secretary.
“Olivia Nuzzi loved him… She loved his eyes, ‘blue as the flame.’ She loved that ‘the sight of something as trivial as a rose’ could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his ‘particular complications and particular darkness,'” The Times profile began.
“But she said ‘I love you’ only after he said it first. He called her ‘Livvy’ and wrote her poems. He said he wanted her to have his baby. He promised to take a bullet for her.”

She told the Times she hasn’t spoken with Kennedy in over a year and declined to weigh in on his job in the Trump administration. On what came over her, she joked, “Maybe it was the vaccines.”
A representative for Kennedy did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. A spokesperson previously denied any sort of physical relationship had occurred and said he had only met Nuzzi once.

Nuzzi said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told her he loved her and wanted her to have his baby.
Nuzzi, 32, said she first met Kennedy, 71, in late 2023 as she covered his independent bid for the White House. She has maintained that she never had a physical relationship with him but did engage in “personal” communications. Kennedy remains married to actress Cheryl Hines.
The alleged “sexting” scandal led to the end of Nuzzi’s engagement to Politico’s chief Washington correspondent and Playbook co-author at the time, Ryan Lizza, who has since left the outlet.
New York Magazine dismissed Nuzzi following the revelations and conducted a probe that concluded that it found “no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias” in her work.
In September, Vanity Fair announced it had hired Nuzzi as the magazine’s West Coast editor.
