Cheryl Hines stands by her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a challenging time, following the passing of his mother, Ethel Kennedy. In a heartfelt social media post, Hines expressed her support despite the backdrop of a recent cheating scandal involving RFK Jr. and journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
The actress, known for her role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” shared a touching comment beneath RFK Jr.’s tribute on Instagram, stating, “This is beautiful. Your mother was very proud of you.” Ethel Kennedy, who passed away at the age of 96 after suffering complications from a stroke, was honored by her son in an emotional dedication where he reflected on her vibrant life and her eagerness to reunite with loved ones in the afterlife.
Cheryl was quick to pay her respects in a separate Instagram post, recalling fond memories of shared dinners in Hyannis Port and the laughter Ethel brought into their lives. She wrote, “Her charisma, wisdom, and strength will live on with me in every memory of her.”
The couple’s united front comes amid turbulence for RFK Jr., who was recently accused of engaging in a sexting affair with Nuzzi. A source revealed that Hines feels “embarrassed” by the situation, admitting it was difficult to process but not entirely unexpected due to her husband’s history. Reports suggest that there are ongoing discussions about potential divorce, especially considering Hines’s decision to forgo wearing her wedding ring during a recent public appearance.
While RFK Jr. has not publicly addressed the allegations against him, insiders have hinted that he might pursue legal action to counter the accusations. The couple, who wed at the Kennedy Compound in Cape Cod in 2014, now faces a tumultuous chapter as they navigate personal loss and public scrutiny.
