Olivia Nuzzi’s memoir set to shake up RFK Jr.s’ marriage

It’s a text and tell.

Olivia Nuzzi — the former New York Magazine reporter who had a “digital affair” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while he was a presidential candidate — is coming out with a book that’s set to potentially incinerate his marriage to Cheryl Hines, a source tells Page Six.

Nuzzi’s planned book will include sexually charged text messages between the political journo and RFK Jr., a source tells Page Six. We hear that the book — titled “American Canto” in a nod to Dante’s “Inferno” — will delve into her headline-sparking relationship with the Kennedy scion, complete with spicy messages between her and the now Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

“Its hard to imagine RFK surviving this with his marriage and job intact,” said a source with knowledge of the book.  

The “MAHA” movement big and the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star have been married since 2014.

We hear Nuzzi’s upcoming book will also detail her relationship with her former fiancé and fellow political journo, Ryan Lizza, which devolved amid the sexting scandal, and even led to a messy legal skirmish.

According to a source, the planned book is more than just a juicy tell-all, but a literary endeavor of historical merit delving into Nuzzi’s decade covering Donald Trump, along with information pulled from hours of taped conversations between herself and the president.

News of the book first broke in Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter.

The leak must have taken Simon & Schuster by surprise. We hear the publishing house has been taking extra precautions to keep the tome top secret.

A source tells us there are no galleys (preliminary copies for internal review), and that there is an entirely separate server set up to keep the book in it’s very own, very secure bubble.

Publishers normally set up an Amazon page early to keep as an online landing spot. In the case of Nuzzi’s book, we hear the listing has no image, no author and is titled, “To Be Announced AC.”

The publication date on the secret page is Dec. 2, 2025.

Not only was the announcement supposed to go public right before publication, sources tell us, but there was an effort not to overlap with any news surrounding Hines’ upcoming book, “Unscripted,” out Nov. 11.

We’re told the book is so hot, there is concern for Nuzzi’s safety.

We hear there’s also fear there could be an injunction, or that the Trump White House could try and block the publication as its latest battle with the media.

We hear the rollout is being handled by top crisis PR guru Risa Heller, who previously has worked with disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner (aka Carlos Danger), Jared Kushner and Jeff Zucker.

Nuzzi’s sextual affair with Kennedy began after she profiled the then-independent presidential candidate in November 2023 for New York Magazine.

The pair had “incredible” sex over FaceTime, a source previously told Page Six and she reportedly sent “demure” nudes.

Kennedy — the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of President John F. Kennedy — previously denied a fling with Nuzzi, and his camp said the two only met in person once for the profile story.

Nuzzi parted ways with New York Magazine in October 2024. The mag said an outside investigation found no evidence of bias in Nuzzi’s reporting on the one-time candidate during the 2024 campaign.

Nuzzi, in a statement last fall, stressed that the relationship was not physical.

“The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict,” she said. “I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.”

She was just hired as Vanity Fair’s West Coast editor last month.

Reps for Nuzzi and Simon & Schuster did not respond to requests for comment.
