There is an argument to making those private lives news, and it has to do with national security. Theoretically if the president has a fling, the woman he had it with could blackmail him into all sorts of crap, and with the kind of access he has, that could be dangerous.
This idea is not without precedent - the Soviets used to tempt high-placed US officials with KGB agents who also happened to be very good at seduction.
