Senator Maria Cantwell is in the news again but not for her government policies or legislative actions.  This time around her rumored affair with a married journalist is keeping Cantwell in the center of online gossip magazines.

Gossip columnists are reporting that CNBC Washington correspondent and New York Times writer John Harwood has split from his wife, Frankie Blackburn, because of his alleged affair with Senator Cantwell. 

The details of the supposed affair have not been released other than that the two have dated. 

These allegations have not been confirmed by either source but according to 'Page Six,' the online gossip magazine, Harwood has said, "I don't feel comfortable talking about my family life."

Sources also say Harwood 'sobbed' to a DC paper asking to keep his affair quiet and out of the paper.
