Between her latest viral embarrassment and a 2024 scandal accusing RFK Jr. of sexually texting New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, Hines has seemed to ignore her husband's problems while supportively standing by his side.

In addition to recent scandals, Hines is gearing up to be snubbed by her Curb Your Enthusiasm costar Larry David — who stars in an upcoming HBO project commemorating America's 250th anniversary, produced by former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama.
"It's expected that Larry will involve the old gang from the show to participate, but Cheryl can count herself out," the confidant confessed. "She may say she's living her life the way she wants it, but when the marriage inevitably crumbles down the line, it will be hard to open those doors that have slammed so hard on her."
