It\u2019s a text and tell. <\/p>\n
Olivia Nuzzi \u2014 the former New York Magazine reporter who had a \u201cdigital affair\u201d <\/a>with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while he was a presidential candidate \u2014 is coming out with a book that\u2019s set to potentially incinerate his marriage to Cheryl Hines, a source tells Page Six.<\/p>\n Nuzzi\u2019s 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 \u2014 titled \u201cAmerican Canto\u201d in a nod to Dante\u2019s \u201cInferno\u201d \u2014 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n Olivia Nuzzi\u2019s new book will be called \u201cAmerican Canto,\u201d and is slated to be released in December. Emilio Madrid<\/p>\n \u201cIts hard to imagine RFK surviving this with his marriage and job intact,\u201d said a source with knowledge of the book. \u00a0<\/p>\n The \u201cMAHA\u201d movement big and the \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm\u201d star have been married since 2014.<\/p>\n We hear Nuzzi\u2019s upcoming book will also detail her relationship with her former fianc\u00e9 and fellow political journo, Ryan Lizza, which devolved amid the sexting scandal, and even led to a messy legal <\/a>skirmish.<\/p>\n The book will be the first time Nuzzi has publicly talked about her \u201cdigital affair\u201d with RFK Jr. Getty Images<\/p>\n The former presidential candidate is married to Cheryl Hines. Getty Images<\/p>\n 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\u2019s decade covering Donald Trump<\/a>, along with information pulled from hours of taped conversations between herself and the president.<\/p>\n News of the book first broke in Oliver Darcy\u2019s Status <\/a>newsletter.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Nuzzi was previously engaged to political journalist Ryan Lizza. Olivia Nuzzi \/ Facebook<\/p>\n 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\u2019s very own, very secure bubble.<\/p>\n Publishers normally set up an Amazon page early to keep as an online landing spot. In the case of Nuzzi\u2019s book, we hear the listing has no image, no author and is titled, \u201cTo Be Announced AC.\u201d<\/p>\n The publication date on the secret page<\/a> is Dec. 2, 2025.<\/p>\n 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\u2019 upcoming book, \u201cUnscripted,\u201d out Nov. 11.<\/p>\n We hear the upcoming book will also delve into their messy split. Olivia Nuzzi \/ Facebook<\/p>\n We\u2019re told the book is so hot, there is concern for Nuzzi\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n We hear there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The book will also cover Nuzzi\u2019s time embedded in Trump\u2019s inner circle.

Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of President John F. Kennedy \u2014 previously denied a fling with Nuzzi, and his camp said the two only met in person once for the profile story.<\/p>\n Nuzzi parted ways with New York Magazine in October 2024. The mag said an outside investigation found no evidence of bias in Nuzzi\u2019s reporting on the one-time candidate during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n Nuzzi, in a statement last fall,\u00a0stressed that the relationship was not physical<\/a>.<\/p>\n We hear the book is being kept under lock and key by Simon & Schuster. Getty Images for Vox Media<\/p>\n Kennedy has denied the affair. Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cThe relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict,\u201d she said. \u201cI deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I\u2019ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
