Actress Cheryl Hines was spotted in Milan over the weekend without a wedding ring or husband RFK Jr. amid news he and a New York magazine reporter once had a “personal relationship.”
If RFK Jr.’s support for Republican Donald Trump as president wasn’t tough enough for the diehard Democrat to take, disclosure of the interaction he allegedly had with New York reporter Olivia Nuzzi may have curbed her enthusiasm.
Hines stopped by Milan Fashion Week on Saturday with her daughter, Catherine Young, and stepdaughter Kyra Kennedy, People reported. Saturday was also the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star’s 59th birthday, and she spent it attending several designer shows and supporting Kyra Kennedy as she walked the Gucci runway, People reported.
Young supported her mom by posting a celebratory birthday-dinner snap in her Instagram stories.
“Happy birthday to the best mother,” wrote Young, according to People. “I really don’t know how I got so lucky.”
RFK Jr. was also missing from the pre-wedding festivities of his niece Grace Kennedy at the family’s Hyannis Port, Mass., compound, People reported. It was not clear whether he would be at the wedding itself, the magazine noted.
New York had placed Washington correspondent Nuzzi on leave last week after she disclosed a “personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign,” the magazine’s editors said in a statement Thursday. Nuzzi had written a profile of RFK Jr. that ran in November 2023 and said she had finished her reporting before firing up a relationship that never turned physical.
RFK Jr.’s camp brushed off the notion that anything had transpired between them.
“Mr. Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece,” a Kennedy spokesman told CNN.
