>A few years later, Olivia Newton-John’s fuckboi boyfriend Patrick McDermott

What could have possessed the author to publish this phrase?

Especially when the Wikipedia article the author cites [0] makes it clear that it's only alleged that he's still alive.

The target audience? Here is another section of the mag: https://melmagazine.com/en-us/section/dicks
Mel Magazine is supposed to be an "Esquire meets Vice". The editor-in-chief comes from Playboy.[1]

Mel is Dollar Shave Club's content team. They also produce the bathroom minutes that come in every box.
I still don’t know what that word means. I looked it up, and it’s not in my dictionary (MW). I suppose I’m not the target audience.
You're looking in the wrong dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fuckboi
I maintain that the correct spelling is "fuccboi", not "fuckboi" since the latter is an anglicisation of the original. In other words, the Crips-style spelling or the way Asians tend to spell it (the first time I ever heard this word was in the Philippines, where it is common).
