RFK Jr. holds hands with Cheryl Hines at mom Ethel’s memorial service after bombshell Olivia Nuzzi claims
United they stand.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held hands with his wife, Cheryl Hines, on Wednesday after allegedly texting reporter Olivia Nuzzi that he wanted to impregnate her.
The politician and the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress walked hand in hand as they arrived at his mother Ethel Kennedy’s celebration of life at the Cathedral of St. Matthew in Washington, DC.
RFK Jr., 70, wore a black suit and tie, while Hines, 59, was dressed in a black coat, tights and pumps as they crossed the street to the church.
Ethel, who was the widow of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, was eulogized by her family members as well as former President Barack Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, President Biden and more.
She died on Oct. 10 at age 96 due to complications related to a stroke.
Ethel’s memorial service comes just one day after more details emerged about her son’s affair with Nuzzi.
After Nuzzi, 31, filed for a no-contact order against her former fiancé Ryan Lizza, he fired back, telling a court on Oct. 14 that he discovered “Nuzzi had been cheating on me with a married man [RFK Jr.] for almost a year.”
“She admitted the affair and over the course of weeks of conversations she confided how she fell into what she described as a ‘toxic’ ‘unhealthy’ ‘stupid’ ‘psychotic’ ‘crazy’ ‘indefensible’ relationship with a 70-year-old ‘sex addict’ who told her he wanted to ‘possess,’ ‘control,’ and ‘impregnate’ her,” Lizza claimed in court papers seen by Page Six.
Robert’s sexting scandal with Nuzzi first made headlines last month when the New York Magazine political correspondent admitted to having a personal relationship with the former presidential candidate after learning he had allegedly bragged about the “intimate” images she sent him.
As a result, she was suspended from her position at New York, with the news outlet announcing that her actions were a “violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures.”
Nuzzi was previously engaged to Lizza, but The Post confirmed they broke up due to the scandal.
Despite the affair, Hines has stayed by her husband’s side, supporting him after the death of his mom.
Last weekend, Hines commented underneath Robert’s Instagram post about his mother’s death, “This is beautiful. Your mother was very proud of you.”
The couple, who wed in 2014, was also spotted holding hands at the famous Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Mass.
