Cheryl Hines Sets Clear Bound on RFK Jr Marriage Rumors Amid Political Debate

Cheryl Hines told The Wall Street Journal that she and RFK Jr remain close and that they trust each other, denying rumors of trouble in their marriage as he shifts from the Democratic Party to President Trump’s cabinet. The report notes Kennedy, 71, has faced other public controversies, including reports of an affair, while their relationship has continued since they wed in 2014.

Hines also weighed in on Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, saying she questions whether science is ever settled and that knowledge evolves. The WSJ interview did not focus on every rumor and did not repeat calls to defend or explain each headline; Parade had previously reported that she has no plans to leave him despite the scrutiny.

This interview highlights how personal life can become part of political debate when a spouse holds public influence. The couple’s publicly shared stance may shape how supporters and opponents perceive Kennedy and his choices, including the move to join the Trump administration.

Vaccine skepticism is a sensitive line in political coverage. Hines’ comments illustrate how spouses can become buffers or amplifiers in the media, raising questions about accountability and the boundaries between private life and public duty.
