Cheryl Hines is reportedly “mortified” by her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s purported affair with political journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
A source said People on Friday, “She feels embarrassed due to his being caught.”
An insider asserted that Hines, 59, and Kennedy, 70, “have scarcely communicated” since reports emerged in late September regarding his alleged “personal relationship” with Nuzzi, 31, following her article about him in New York Magazine.
Page Six has contacted Hines’ representative for a statement.
The revelation from People follows insiders informing Page Six earlier this week that the actress is set to divorce Kennedy.
Nonetheless, our source indicated that her probable decision to depart from Kennedy is mostly influenced by his endorsement of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“The individual is a habitual philanderer, and she was aware of this from the outset,” they concluded.
On Wednesday, Mediaite revealed that three women alleged to have engaged in intimate relationships with the politician in the past year.
His representative informed Page Six that the charges were untrue.
Nuzzi was briefly suspended from her role as Washington reporter for New York Magazine on September 19 after admitting to having a personal contact with a previous subject pertinent to the 2024 campaign while covering the campaign.
Although Kennedy’s name was not mentioned by the outlet or Nuzzi during her public apology, a source informed The Post that the two were “sexting around the new year.”
Moreover, a source informed Page Six that he “love bombed” her, causing her to develop profound feelings for him.
His team refuted claims of a love relationship, stating that they had only met once during Nuzzi’s interview for a profile published last autumn.
Nuzzi was formerly engaged to Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, who revealed their separation around the same week she was placed on leave by New York Magazine.
Notwithstanding the speculation over the deterioration of his marriage due to recent charges, Kennedy was observed wearing his wedding band while engaged in a reportedly stressful phone discussion in Los Angeles earlier this week.
The actress from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was photographed smiling in Milan, Italy, last month without her wedding ring.
