Future first lady? Meet Cheryl Hines, Robert F. Kennedy Jrs wife, who was Rob Reiners PA and L

The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress has championed him while also calling him out on his “reprehensible” comments. Meet Hines the Hollywood star backing her man while staying true to herself.

Where did Cheryl Hines grow up?

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hines, 58, shared that she grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, in a household of sport and fishing fanatics. The actress was raised in a trailer and slept in the same bed as her mum until she graduated from high school.

In 1990, Hines started working at the newly opened Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. She played the part of Marion Crane, the iconic character from the 1959 horror novel, and 1960 film, Psycho. The studios were using a set from the Psycho flick, and Hines was tasked with wearing a nude bodysuit and getting “stabbed to death” by an audience volunteer several times a day.

How did Cheryl Hines break into Hollywood?

Three years after playing Crane, Hines landed a guest role on Swamp Thing, a TV show based on the popular DC comics character. She moved to Hollywood in an effort to hop on the fame train without success. So she bartended at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown LA. And that’s when she became the personal assistant to actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner.

Hines was doing improv classes on the side, still hoping to make it, when she was invited to audition for Curb Your Enthusiasm. She landed the role of Cheryl David, wife to comedian Larry David. The role launched her career, making her a household name in the US.

Was Cheryl Hines married to Larry David?

Although she and her on-screen husband David have never had a romantic relationship in real life, Hines does admit that “he’s in his own category in my life”, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Hines told The New York Times that she actually met Kennedy through David during a ski weekend fundraiser in Banff, Canada. In 2011, they met again at another ski event when they were each going through a divorce.

“Bobby is very smart and funny, although a lot of people don’t see the funny side,” she said. They managed to keep their connection on the down low until Kennedy’s second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, died by suicide in 2012. Then RFK Jr’s romantic life was put in the spotlight.

Who designed Cheryl Hines’ wedding gown?

The couple announced their engagement in May 2014 and wed in August the same year. They got married at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, per People. Hines contracted designer Romona Keveza to make her dress.

Per the same publication, Keveza said that when she first started her business 14 years earlier, Letitia Baldrige, the Kennedy social secretary, contacted her about including some of her gowns in a book she was writing. Baldrige was reportedly particularly fond of a gown with a fabric created with hundreds of thousands of tiny pearls, which she described as “quintessential Jackie”.

Keveza had retired the material until she designed a collection featuring Jackie Kennedy-inspired elements, not long before the Kennedy-Hines wedding. As it turns out, that very dress caught Hines’ eye. Keveza said of the experience, “I feel it’s almost as though Jackie was there at her wedding, giving her blessings to Cheryl, who was wearing a dress inspired by her, and to Robert Kennedy Jr.”

What are Cheryl Hines’ political views?

Hines, who is no stranger to the spotlight, has been adamant that her husband’s political views do not necessarily represent her own. Per The New York Times, she is a registered Democrat.

In January 2022, Kennedy gave a speech in Washington DC in which he controversially implied that Jews had more freedoms during the Holocaust than unvaccinated Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic. Hines responded by posting on X, formerly Twitter, that her husband’s reference to Anne Frank was “reprehensible and insensitive”, adding that “while we love each other, we differ on many current issues”.

Hines has also made sure to let the world know that, while she supports her husband, her life doesn’t revolve around his political career. “I support Bobby and I want to be there for him, and I want him to feel loved and supported by me. And at the same time, I don’t feel the need to go to every political event, because I do have my own career,” she told The New York Times.

Does Cheryl Hines have a daughter?

Hines has a daughter, Catherine Rose Young, from her first marriage. The pair launched an eco-friendly cosmetics brand, Hines+Young, in May 2023. The company’s products include body creams, lip balms, scrubs and scented candles.

In an interview with Access Online, the mother-daughter duo said that no product is over US$50. Cheryl, who has a cosmetology license, added that the products are packaged in recyclable glass and aluminium, rather than single-use plastic.

“We’ve made this a family affair, with my sister Becky and my brother Mike joining the team to build the company with us,” she stated on the brand’s website. “We’ve found formulators who share our commitment to clean beauty.”
