Diplo shares festive season with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and family

Diplo spent Christmas with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and family in the Rocky Mountains, prompting surprise reactions

DJ and producer Diplo reportedly spent Christmas Day in the Colorado Rockies with political figure Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his family, a pairing that’s quickly drawn attention online. Kennedy shared a festive post on social media showing him celebrating in the mountains with his children and close friends, including Diplo, wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas.”

Kennedy’s Instagram post showed a snowy holiday gathering in Aspen with his children Kyra, Finnbar and Aidan, alongside friends Diplo and music industry executive Howard Lutnick and their families. The Health and Human Services secretary’s caption expressed gratitude for the time spent together in the Rockies over the holidays.

The photos and posts quickly sparked reactions online, as many found the combination of a high-profile political figure and a global DJ unexpected. Some social media users shared skeptical or humorous takes, noting how unusual it is to see a mainstream electronic artist and a well-known political personality celebrating together, while others simply commented on the striking winter scenery and the rare holiday snapshot.

Earlier in the holiday season, Kennedy was also spotted at one of Diplo’s après-ski sets in Aspen, where he stood among concertgoers, took selfies and enjoyed the music with family nearby, though he didn’t spend extended time dancing. Reports from that outing highlighted Kennedy’s casual winter attire and the discreet presence of plainclothes U.S. Marshals in the crowd.

Diplo and Kennedy’s friendship has been noted by onlookers in recent years, and their holiday gathering appears to be an extension of that connection.
