AceShowbiz - Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were recently seen together for the first time since Kennedy's alleged involvement in a cheating scandal was made public. Despite being together in Malibu for a quick Starbucks run, Hines notably showed no wedding ring, hinting at underlying marital strife.

It was revealed last month that Kennedy allegedly engaged in an extra-marital affair with journalist Olivia Nuzzi after she contributed an article about him for New York magazine in November 2023. This scandal was further exacerbated when at least three other women came forward, claiming romantic relationships with Kennedy within the past year. All these women reportedly met Kennedy through his anti-vaccine organization, Children's Health Defense.

A source close to Cheryl Hines indicated that the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star is indeed embarrassed by the public exposure of the affairs, though primarily because "he got caught." The insider also revealed that Hines and Kennedy "have barely spoken" since rumors of his affair with Nuzzi began to surface in late September.

Adding another layer of complexity to the situation is the political discord between the couple. After Kennedy withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump, Hines, a lifelong Democrat, found herself in a politically uncomfortable position. This political endorsement reportedly upset her more than the infidelities.

Sources indicate that Hines is contemplating divorce amid the confluence of Kennedy's multiple alleged affairs and their political differences. "She knew she was getting in with a Kennedy, who are known for being infamous womanizers," explained the insider. "But she never signed up to be a member of Trump World!"

Kennedy himself has acknowledged Hines'sdiscomfort with his endorsement of Trump. Speaking to TMZ, he admitted, "This is a really difficult issue for Cheryl... She went along with it because she loves me and she wanted to be supportive of me, but it was not something that she ever encouraged. I would say, her trepidation about this and her discomfort with this were the dominant feelings."

As this high-profile couple navigates their personal and political challenges, only time will tell what the future holds for Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
