Cheryl Hines has opened up about her relationship with husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and how she dealt with rumors surrounding his alleged sexting affair.
Rumors swirled that Hines was planning to divorce the former presidential candidate following allegations that he had a sexting relationship with political reporter Olivia Nuzzi.
The actress had not previously spoken publicly about the scandal, but was seen wearing her wedding ring and a strapless black dress at the Groundlings 50th Anniversary Event in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Hines said she is not concerned about the current rumors swirling about her husband’s alleged scandal with the suspended New York magazine reporter.
‘A lot of emotions with rumors! But it will all be in my book. I am writing a book. I took notes, serious notes,” she said American weekly.
Cheryl Hines said she isn’t concerned about the current rumors swirling about her husband’s lustful sexting with political reporter Olivia Nuzzi, in an interview with US Weekly.

“People have a lot of feelings about politics, especially in Hollywood, and I don’t know. I mean, so far I feel like it’s okay.
‘I think it’s fine to have those conversations with people, but for me it doesn’t define someone. For some people it is and it’s like you have no control over it. I can’t help it, so I have to let it happen.’
The Emmy-nominated actress, best known as Cheryl on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, told the outlet that she is focusing on her family.
‘They’re nice. I mean, if I had a boring family, it would be hard. And I think just trying to embrace the unknown and instead of fighting it, kind of trying to embrace it and just say yes to whatever comes your way,” she said.
“Just to let it flow and find the little moments and not take anything too seriously. Even though I find myself in very serious situations.’
Late last month, Nuzzi, 31, the top Washington DC political correspondent for New York magazine, acknowledged having a sexting relationship with the 70-year-old Kennedy while covering his campaign.
Kennedy, who suspended his independent bid for the presidency and threw his support behind Donald Trump in August, claimed the two had met only once when Nuzzi interviewed him for the magazine.
Nuzzi’s ex-fiance Ryan Lizza is reportedly taking a ‘leave of absence’ after a court bombshell claimed he blackmailed her over the rumored affair.

She alleged in D.C. Supreme Court that Lizza “explicitly threatened to release personal information about me to destroy my life, career and reputation – a threat he has since carried out.”
Last week, Lizza claimed Kennedy wanted to “possess, control and impregnate” ex-fiancée Olivia Nuzzi, as he vehemently denied the blackmail allegations in court.
He says he never hacked into any of Nuzzi’s devices, but was told about the relationship and its nature by her.
