A headline from the New York Times: Olivia Nuzzi Did It All For Love
The article lede: By Jacob Bernstein Reporting from Los Angeles Nov. 14, 2025 Updated 12:07 p.m. ET Olivia Nuzzi loved him. She loved the politician, even though she was a political reporter and he was then a presidential candidate she had written about. She loved his eyes, "blue as the flame." She loved that "the sight of something as trivial as a rose" could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his "particular complications and particular darkness." But she said "I love you" only after he said it first. He called her "Livvy" and wrote her poems. He said he wanted her to have his baby. He promised to take a bullet for her.
