Explosive new claims have emerged from a political journalist's memoir, detailing a clandestine relationship with a high-profile US government figure.
The Digital Affair Unveiled
In her newly released book American Canto, reporter Olivia Nuzzi discloses intimate details about her secret romance with Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who serves as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Although she refrains from directly identifying him, the description leaves little doubt about his identity.
The relationship reportedly began during Kennedy's 2024 presidential campaign, unfolding primarily as what Nuzzi characterises as a digital affair. She reveals that Kennedy, who is married to actress Cheryl Hines, gave her the affectionate nickname Livvy and composed poems for her.
Shocking Personal Disclosures
Among the most startling revelations are Nuzzi's claims about Kennedy's personal conduct. She alleges that despite his public assertions of sobriety, he confessed to using psychedelic substances including DMT.
Furthermore, Nuzzi states that Kennedy expressed a desire for her to have his child. She confirms developing strong feelings for him, noting she loved him but only reciprocated his I love you after he said it first.
Professional and Personal Fallout
The consequences of their involvement proved severe for Nuzzi. The relationship directly led to her losing her position at New York magazine and caused the collapse of her engagement to another partner.
Nuzzi confirms she has had no communication with Kennedy for approximately one year, since news of their affair became public knowledge. The memoir provides her first comprehensive account of the relationship's profound impact on her life and career.
