Cheryl Hines reportedly issued a firm ultimatum to her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
following allegations that he had engaged in a sexting affair with journalist Olivia Nuzzi last year. The actress, best known for her role in Curb Your Enthusiasm, was said to be deeply unsettled by the scandal and took immediate action to protect her marriage.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Hines demanded that Kennedy relocate her from
Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., where he currently serves as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services under President Trump’s administration. She reportedly felt that her husband needed to be under her watchful eye at all times to prevent any further indiscretions.
An inside source shared with the outlet that Hines had serious concerns about Kennedy being alone in Washington, even on a part-time basis. Given his powerful position and the number of women—both admirers and political insiders—who might be drawn to him, she felt that leaving him unsupervised could lead to temptation. The source explained, “Cheryl doesn’t feel Bobby can be trusted one iota living on his own, in D.C., even part-time, with so many attractive women and Kennedy groupies around, as he gets settled in his powerful new position.”
The insider went on to reveal that Hines had laid down a non-negotiable condition for their relationship moving forward. “She’s given him a strict ultimatum –- move me or else,” the source claimed, making it clear that she was unwilling to tolerate any further strain on their marriage.
At 59 years old, Hines is reportedly still dealing with the emotional fallout of her husband’s alleged infidelity. The scandal left her blindsided, and she has been struggling to move past the pain of betrayal. Those close to her say that she remains haunted by the fear that Kennedy’s “lust demons” could resurface if he were to live in Washington without her by his side.
Despite the glamorous lifestyle she enjoys in Los Angeles, Hines is said to be willing to give it all up to become a full-time political spouse in the nation’s capital. According to another source, “Cheryl’s willing to sacrifice all that glamorous lifestyle to become a political wife, move to D.C. forthwith, and live in trendy Georgetown, so she can keep a close watch on Bobby.”
When contacted for comment, representatives for Hines did not immediately respond to inquiries from Page Six.
The controversy surrounding Kennedy’s alleged affair first made headlines in September when it was revealed that he had engaged in inappropriate exchanges with Nuzzi, a reporter for New York Magazine. The 32-year-old journalist later admitted to having a relationship with Kennedy after he allegedly boasted to others about explicit photos she had sent him via text message.
The fallout from the scandal was significant. Nuzzi lost her job as a result of the controversy and also ended her engagement to her former fiancé, Ryan Lizza. Meanwhile, Kennedy faced intense public scrutiny, with many questioning the state of his marriage in the aftermath of the revelations.
Following the reports, Hines was spotted multiple times without her wedding ring, fueling speculation about the future of their relationship. However, despite the public humiliation and emotional toll, she ultimately chose to stand by Kennedy’s side. She accompanied him to numerous events, including his confirmation hearing, signaling that she was willing to work through the crisis rather than walk away.
Kennedy himself remained largely silent on the issue. He declined to comment at the time the allegations surfaced and has not addressed them publicly since.
Most recently, the couple was seen attending the UCSD Cancer Center Starry Starry Night Gala at the Chaparral Country Club in Palm Desert, California. During the event, Kennedy was honored with an award and delivered a speech.
Eyewitnesses at the gala reported that Hines and Kennedy appeared composed and cordial, interacting warmly with other attendees. Despite the turbulence their relationship has endured, they presented a united front, leaving many to wonder if they have truly moved past the scandal or if the underlying tensions remain unresolved.
