Trouble in Robert F Kennedy Jr and Chery Hines’ paradise reportedly began after his alleged “relationship” with Olivia Nuzzi was disclosed by New York magazine in September.

The 31-year-old political reporter admitted that she “engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign" while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures.”

“She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust,” the magazine shared in a statement.
