Cheryl Hines breaks silence on RFK Jr.’s marriage after the Olivia Nuzzi sexting scandal

Cheryl Hines revealed she is writing a book about the “rumors” she and husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have dealt with amid his alleged sexting scandal with political reporter Olivia Nuzzi.

“A lot of excitement with rumours!” the actress told Us Weekly at Saturday’s Groundlings 50th anniversary event in Los Angeles while wearing her wedding ring.

“But, it’s all going to be in my book. I’m writing a book. I’ve been taking notes, serious notes!

Amid the gossip surrounding her 10-year marriage, Hines shared that she’s focused on “having a lot of fun with (her) family.”

“They are fun. I mean, if I had a boring family it would be hard,” she said. “And I think just trying to embrace the unknown and instead of fighting it, somehow trying to embrace it and say yes to whatever whatever comes to you.”

The “RV” star explained that she’s trying to focus on the “little moments and not take anything too seriously.”

“Even though I’m in very dire situations!” Hines, 59, added.

Hines shares daughter Catherine Rose, 20, with ex-husband Paul Young, while Kennedy has children Bobby, 40, Kathleen, 36, Conor, 30, Kyra, 29, Willian, 26, and Aidan, 23, from previous relationships.

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star also opened up about the secret to a long-lasting marriage and getting through “crazy” moments with her husband.

“There has to be a connection,” she told Us Weekly.

“There’s a connection that you look at your husband or your partner and all the craziness that’s going on around you, or you look and check in and it’s like, ‘Okay. it will be fine We will get through this moment’”.

She continued: “And, you know, a lot of times it’s fun and you can lean in and say, ‘That’s crazy balls,’ and have a moment together and then hold your head up high and move on to the next one.”

Hines also reflected on the start of her romance with Kennedy in 2011, explaining that they have learned to roll with life’s curve balls.

“When I met Bobby, I said to him, ‘Have you ever wanted to go into politics?’ and she said, ‘No, I feel like I can do more work as an environmental lawyer and I don’t have to.’

“I said, ‘Great. This is going to be great!’ And then life gives you a left turn, a right turn, whatever.”

Kennedy, 70, launched his 2024 presidential bid last year, but withdrew from the race in August and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Hines acknowledged that while politics can cause a lot of mixed feelings, she doesn’t let her husband’s career interfere with their connection.

“People have a lot of feelings about politics, especially in Hollywood, and I don’t know,” he told the outlet. “I mean, so far it feels good.

“I’m fine having conversations like that with people and for me it doesn’t define anyone. For some people it does and it’s like you can’t control it. There’s nothing I can do about it so I just have to let it wash over me.” .

Hines and Kennedy married in 2014 after nearly three years of dating.

The “Waitress” star’s comments about her husband come after he made headlines for his alleged relationship with Nuzzi, a 31-year-old political correspondent for New York Magazine.

Nuzzi admitted to having a relationship with Kennedy after she allegedly told people about the “intimate” photos he texted her.

The scandal led to Nuzzi being suspended from her job and breaking up with then-fiancé Ryan Lizza.

Hines, meanwhile, has put on a united front with Kennedy despite being photographed without his wedding ring shortly after the news broke.
