Despite a shocking sexting scandal with political journalist Olivia Nuzzi, newly appointed secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his marriage to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines is still strong.
But that doesn’t mean that Hines has forgotten about things.
Sources close to Hines have said that in light of the unresolved scandal, she has given her husband an ultimatum.
Move me to Washington, DC, or else!
Hines, 59, ordered the scion to move her from California to the nation’s capital indefinitely out of fear that her husband’s self-proclaimed “lust demons” would overwhelm his ability to fend off temptation while he’s serving in President Trump’s administration.
This according to a Daily Mail report.
“Cheryl doesn’t feel Bobby can be trusted one iota living on his own, in DC, even part-time, with so many attractive women and Kennedy groupies around, as he gets settled in his powerful new position,” a source told the outlet.
“So she’s given him a strict ultimatum — move me or else.”
Kennedy, 70, was accused of having a digital affair with Nuzzi, who profiled the then-presidential candidate in November 2023 for New York Magazine.
Nuzzi, 31, reportedly started sexting Kennedy following the story, including allegedly sending him “demure nudes.”
The pair even had “incredible” sex over FaceTime, a source told media outlet Page Six.
Kennedy — the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy — has denied any sort of fling with Nuzzi, with his camp stating the two had only met in person once for the profile story.
The scandal, which dominated headlines for several weeks, resulted in Nuzzi leaving the publication and getting caught up in a legal battle with her ex-fiancé, Politico journalist Ryan Lizza.
Kennedy and Hines have appeared seemingly happy together in public in the months since the scandal.
The actress publicly supported her husband during his heated confirmation hearings in January.
Hines then attended Kennedy’s swearing-in ceremony at the White House, where the pair stood hand in hand as President Trump hailed the father of seven’s Make America Healthy Again movement.
He even appeared partially naked in the background of a playful video Hines shared on her social media to promote her eco-friendly, self-care company, Hines+Young.
Hines posted a short clip on her Instagram story to advertise a Black Friday sale last November on products from Hines+Young, which she co-founded with her 20-year-old daughter, Catherine Young.
Hines held up a bottle of linen spray and a tin of body cream with her head blocking most of the front of RFK, Jr. as he showered behind her.
It’s not known if the ploy was staged, or an accident. Regardless, the clip can be seen here:
However, behind closed doors it appears that Hines wants to be close in proximity to her husband.
“Cheryl’s willing to sacrifice all the glamorous lifestyle to become a political wife, moved to DC forthwith, and live in trendy Georgetown, so she can keep a close watch on Bobby,” a source told the Daily Mail.
Kennedy was also named in a number of other cheating rumors — with at least three women claiming they had trysts with him last year after linking up at the Children’s Health Defense, an organization he previously headed.
His camp strongly rejected the bombshell claims in a statement to Mediaite, calling the report “untrue.”
