Overview

  • Cheryl Hines has reportedly asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to relocate her to Washington, D.C., where he serves as Secretary of Health and Human Services, to address trust issues following his alleged sexting scandal with journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
  • Sources claim Hines fears Kennedy’s self-described 'lust demons' and potential temptations in his new political role, leading her to request the move from their Los Angeles home.
  • The sexting scandal, which surfaced last year, involved allegations of explicit exchanges and FaceTime interactions between Kennedy and Nuzzi, which both parties have publicly denied.
  • Hines has continued to support Kennedy publicly, attending his Senate confirmation hearings and other events, but insiders say she is still recovering from the emotional impact of the allegations.
  • The couple is reportedly planning to leave their $6 million Brentwood home for D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood, with Hines prioritizing her role as a 'political wife' to monitor Kennedy’s behavior.
