Sexting scribe Olivia Nuzzi is reportedly penning a book about her secret, racy digital relationship with married Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The 32-year-old Vanity Fair editor will dish on her year-long chats with Kennedy, 71, in a book being published by the end of this year, according to Status reporter Oliver Darcy, who first broke the story about Nuzzi and Kennedy’s relationship last year.
It will also detail the writer’s whirlwind decade covering politics, sources told Darcy.

New York Magazine initially put Nuzzi on paid leave after receiving tips about her connection to Kennedy. Weeks later, she and the publication “mutually agreed” to part ways.
Then a bombshell leak of private messages revealed an intimacy much deeper than she had previously admitted.

“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.”
