RFK Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines spotted without wedding ring in first public outing amid his ‘sexting’ scandal

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines was spotted without her wedding ring during her first public outing amid his “sexting” scandal.

The 59-year-old “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress was photographed smiling while out and about in Milan, Italy, on Friday evening after she attended a Gucci afterparty for Milan Fashion Week.

She appeared in good spirits and she waved to fans. She drew attention to her left hand by swinging a set of keys from it, and it appeared she was wearing a ring much smaller than her wedding bling from RFK Jr.

The wedding band she rocked for the last 10 years is thick and silver, and the plain dainty band she wore on her left ring finger Friday appeared to be gold.

Page Six reached out to Hines’ rep for comment.

Hines dressed smartly for her night out in the fashion capital of the world. She rocked a white shirt and flared blue trousers and layered on a black leather jacket that reached her knees.

She finished her look with black boots and a small red handbag.

Rumors began flying this week that RFK Jr., 70, had a “sexting” affair with New York magazine’s Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, beginning late last year after she wrote a profile on him.

While Nuzzi, 31, did not mention the former independent presidential candidate’s name, she admitted to New York magazine Thursday that she engaged in a “personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign” while she was reporting on said campaign.

She was subsequently put on leave from her job. A third-party team is currently looking into the matter.

Nuzzi also expressed her regret regarding the relationship in a statement to CNN.

“Earlier this year, the nature of some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal,” she said. “The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict.”

“I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.”

Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s rep denied he had any romantic relationship with Nuzzi in a statement to the Status newsletter.

Hines has not spoken out on the alleged affair and her rep declined to give Page Six a comment regarding the allegation on Friday.

Nuzzi was engaged to Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, but he confirmed they split via a statement published in Politico PM on Friday.

It is not clear when they went their separate ways. The pair began dating in 2018 and got engaged in September 2022.
