Cheryl Hines sent a sweet message to her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. via social media following the death of her mother, Ethel Kennedy, despite her recent sexting scandal with journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alum, 59, commented under RFK Jr.’s Instagram post about his mother’s passing: “This is beautiful. Your mother was very proud of you. 🤍.
Ethel died Thursday from complications of a stroke she suffered earlier this month. She was 96 years old.
RFK Jr. said in his dedication to his mother that she had lived a “rich and eventful life” but was “excited about the afterlife” because she would be reunited with her husband, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and her beloved dogs.
The former independent candidate for the presidency of the United States also praised her “perpetual attitude of gratitude” and “her moral and physical fearlessness” which define her character.
Hines posted his own tribute to Ethel via Instagram on Friday and shared a similar sentiment.
“His charisma, his wisdom and his strength will remain engraved in each of my memories,” she wrote.
“Bobby and I spent many warm nights in Hyannis Port, dining with her and hearing stories about her extraordinary life.”
The “Suburgatory” alum continued, “She always made me laugh. She was never too serious, except when she needed to be. She dressed to the nines barefoot. We will miss her. My love goes to the family.
Hines’ support for her husband comes after he was accused of having a sexting affair with Nuzzi, 31, a political correspondent for New York Magazine.
Earlier this month, a source told People that the actress felt “embarrassed” about the ordeal “because he got caught.”
However, she wouldn’t be surprised by the affair, as RFK Jr. is a “serial womanizer,” an insider told Page Six recently.
After RFK Jr.’s cheating scandal with Nuzzi came to light, three other women claimed they too had been romantically involved with him.
The politician has refrained from commenting on the rumors, but some close to him have suggested he may take legal action over the allegations.
Meanwhile, Page Six has learned that Hines is considering filing for divorce — despite her united front with RFK Jr. during a recent outing, during which she notably didn’t wear her wedding ring.
The couple married at the Kennedy Compound in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 2014.
