In a recent interview, Cheryl Hines, the wife of political figure Robert F. Kennedy Jr., candidly discussed navigating the complexities of their marriage amidst swirling rumors and public scrutiny. Following reports of her husband’s supposed involvement with journalist Olivia Nuzzi, Hines shared her strategies for dealing with what she called the “crazy times” of their union. The interview marked Hines’ first public comments since the revelations about the alleged romantic entanglement surfaced, shedding light on both her personal and family dynamics.

Hines, known for her role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, expressed how important it is to maintain a connection with her partner, especially during turbulent times. “There has to be a connection,” she told US Weekly, illustrating how she seeks reassurance from her husband amidst the chaos. The actress emphasized the importance of humor in their relationship, explaining, “A lot of times it’s funny and you can lean over and say, ‘This is crazy balls,’ and have a moment together.”

Amid the controversy, Hines expressed a sense of peace, mentioning she’s been focusing on fun family moments. “If I had a boring family, it would be tough,” she said, underlining how their blended family dynamic keeps things lively. Staying positive and embracing the unknown appear to be strategies she employs to cope with rumors that could threaten their marriage.

The recent scandal emerged after Nuzzi, a New York Magazine writer, was reported to have engaged in “sexting” with Kennedy. Allegations have surfaced suggesting that the two had intimate digital exchanges, and rumors about their relationship have been persistent since last November when Nuzzi profiled Kennedy. While Kennedy has denied the affair, asserting that he only met Nuzzi in person once, the media frenzy continues to impact Hines and her family.

“Lots of emotions with rumors! But, it will all be in my book,” Hines revealed during her discussion at The Groundlings event. “I’ve been taking notes—serious notes!” This upcoming tell-all book promises to delve deeper into the highs and lows of her relationship with Kennedy and how they manage public scrutiny.

In light of the ongoing presidential campaign, Hines expressed relief that the election’s conclusion is approaching. “The end is near,” she stated, counting down the days until the election cycle concludes, and noting that she feels “very peaceful” about the outcome. This political atmosphere adds another layer to their already complex family life, particularly since Kennedy’s political aspirations have significantly increased his visibility in the media.

Hines reminisced about when she first met Kennedy over a decade ago, recalling how he claimed he had no interest in politics. “I was like, ‘Great. This is going to be great!’” she chuckled, hinting at the unexpected twists life can take. Despite the challenges, she continues to engage in conversations about politics, stating, “People have a lot of feelings about politics, especially in Hollywood… I feel like it’s OK.”
