Cheryl Hines revealed she is writing a book about the “rumors” she and her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have dealt with amid his alleged sexting scandal with political reporter Olivia Nuzzi.

“Lots of emotions with rumors!” the actress told Us Weekly at Saturday’s Groundlings 50th Anniversary Event in Los Angeles while wearing her wedding ring.

“But, it will all be in my book. I’m writing a book. I’ve been taking notes — serious notes!”

Amid the gossip surrounding her 10-year marriage, Hines shared she’s focused on having “a lot of fun with [her] family.”

“They’re fun. I mean, if I had a boring family it would be tough,” she said. “And I think just trying to embrace the unknown and instead of fighting against it, sort of trying to embrace it and just say yes to whatever comes your way.”

The “RV” star explained she’s trying to focus on the “little moments and not take anything too seriously.”

“Even though I find myself in very serious situations!” Hines, 59, added.

“But, it will all be in my book. I’m writing a book. I’ve been taking notes — serious notes,” she continued. _cherylhines/Instagram Hines’ comments come after news broke that Kennedy was having a texting affair with journalist Olivia Nuzzi, seen here. AP

Hines shares 20-year-old daughter Catherine Rose with ex-husband Paul Young, while Kennedy, 70, has children Bobby, 40, Kathleen, 36, Conor, 30, Kyra, 29, Willian, 26, and Aidan, 23, from previous relationships.

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star also opened up about the secret to a long-lasting marriage and moving past the “crazy” moments with her husband.

“There has to be a connection,” she told Us Weekly.

“There’s a connection that you look at your husband or your partner and all the crazy going on around you, or you look and you check in and it’s like, ‘OK. It’s going to be OK. We’re going to move through this moment.'”

She continued, “And, you know, a lot of times it’s funny and you can lean over and say, ‘This is crazy balls,’ and have a moment together and then hold your head up high and go to the next thing.”

Hines also reflected on the start of her romance with Kennedy in 2011, explaining they’ve learned how to roll with life’s curveballs.

“When I met Bobby, I said, ‘You never wanted to go into politics?’ and he said, ‘No, I feel like I can do more work as an environmental attorney and I don’t have to. I’m not beholden to companies or corporations,” she explained.

“I was like, ‘Great. This is going to be great!’ And then life gives you a left turn, a right turn, however it turns out to be.”

Last year, RFK Jr. launched his 2024 presidential bid, but he withdrew from the election in August and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Hines acknowledged that although politics can lead to many mixed feelings, she doesn’t allow her husband’s career to interfere with their connection.

“People have a lot of feelings about politics, especially in Hollywood, and I don’t know,” she told the outlet. “I mean, so far I feel like it’s OK.

“I’m OK to have conversations like that with people and, to me, it doesn’t define somebody. To some people it does and it’s like you can’t control it. There’s nothing I can do about it, so I have to let it wash over me.”

Hines and Kennedy tied the knot in 2014 after nearly three years of dating.

The “Waitress” star’s comments about Kennedy come after he made headlines for his alleged affair with Nuzzi, a 31-year-old political correspondent for New York Magazine.

While the couple seem to be moving past the scandal, Nuzzi has since been suspended from her job as a reporter for New York Magazine. Olivia Nuzzi / Facebook She’s also separated from her fiancé Ryan Lizza. Olivia Nuzzi / Facebook
