Nuzzi stepped down from her position at 'New York Magazine' after it was revealed she had a 'personal relationship' with the politician.

As OK! reported, Nuzzi's relationship with RFK Jr. — who's been married to Cheryl Hines since 2014 — began when she interviewed him for New York Magazine in 2023.

After their relationship was revealed, the publication released a statement that the writer "acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had 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."

Nuzzi insisted her relationship with RFK Jr. 'was never physical.'

"Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign," the spokesperson continued. "An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias. 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."

Nuzzi made her own comment on the scandal but didn't share details, spilling, "The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I've disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York."

At the time, she was engaged to reporter Ryan Lizza, 51, but they split as the trouble unfolded.

RFK Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, appeared to hit a rough patch during the drama but remain married.

Amid the drama, Hines was spotted without her wedding ring — but despite the split rumors, the two never broke up.

When the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, 60, was asked about the situation over the summer, she refused to directly comment on it.

"I don’t think there’s any point to going through every rumor and headline to try to defend or explain it," she said. "Bobby and I talk about everything, so that’s how we move through everything, and we’re really good friends, and we trust each other."
