This Miami Beach Actress Has Been Wed to RFK Jr. for a Decade. Now, a Sexting Scandal
Cheryl Hines and Robert Kennedy Jr.
celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in August, but their relationship has now been shaken by another scandal. New York magazine is investigating its Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, who disclosed a “personal” relationship with one of her reporting subjects — RFK Jr.
Nuzzi, 31, admitted that the communication between herself and Kennedy became personal, though she claimed it never turned physical. She was placed on leave for “potentially damaging readers’ trust,” as stated in a memo leaked by her boss.
Hines, who has not yet commented on the scandal, appeared unbothered on Instagram, posting photos from the Emmys, where she attended with her niece. Friends reportedly warned Hines years ago about Kennedy's alleged womanizing tendencies.
This is not the first time the couple has faced challenges. Before their marriage, RFK Jr. was linked to NYC socialite Chelsea Chapman Kirwan, and during their union, Hines has had to deal with the backlash from his controversial stance on the COVID vaccine. Recent reports have also surfaced about bizarre incidents involving Kennedy, such as dumping a bear carcass in Central Park and decapitating a whale.
Will this latest scandal be the final straw for the couple?
