Despite her alleged flirtation with the journalist who ruined her 10-year marriage, Hines, 59, immediately rushed to her womanizing husband’s side in Massachusetts on Saturday.
The loss of Kennedy dynasty matriarch Ethel, 96, on Thursday appears to have melted any lingering coldness between the couple following her alleged affair with Nuzzi, 31.
Cheryl Hines rushed to comfort grieving Robert F Kennedy Jr after his mother’s death, and the two put on a display of love in the family compound after his affair with Olivia Nuzzi.
Despite her alleged flirtation with the journalist who ruined her 10-year marriage, Hines, 59, immediately rushed to her womanizing husband’s side in Massachusetts on Saturday.
The grieving couple is seen at the Kennedy Complex in Hyannis Port Massachusetts taking a walk along the pier.
Rumors had circulated that Hines was planning to divorce the former presidential candidate, following allegations that she had a sexting relationship with the suspended New York magazine reporter.
Exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the couple holding hands at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, forming a united front before the funeral.
Hines, dressed in all-black workout gear, arrived at the resort after her husband, and the couple spent an hour together at a nearby gym before making a stop at Trader Joes to stock up on supplies.
RFK Jr put his arm around his wife and hugged her before the two got into a car and headed to a nearby gym.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm star was wearing her wedding ring, having been photographed without it when news of the affair broke. Hines smiled and appeared relaxed as she greeted family members at the multimillion-dollar estate.
Her husband donned a pink shirt and jeans to spend their time alone, but was seen without his wedding ring.
Despite the missing jewelry, the couple appears to be putting their differences behind them as the family reunites for Ethel’s funeral.
RFK Jr put his arm around his wife and hugged her before the two got into a car and headed to a nearby gym.
After spending an hour at the gym, the couple reportedly made a stop at Trader Joe’s before heading home.
Onlookers at the gym said the pair remained calm as they worked out for about an hour, before being chased away by a security detail.
RFK Jr, again, was quick to put his arm around his wife after they returned to the complex, and staff carried the purchases to their property.
The couple appeared under stress when they were seen together a week ago, looking somber as they drove to a Starbucks in Malibu, California.
The two headed to Massachusetts separately, with RFK arriving in the early hours of Saturday morning, two days after his mother’s death.
He left a touching message on his Instagram in tribute to his mother, widow of former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, after she died of a stroke.

Kennedy claimed that he and Nuzzi had only met once when she interviewed him for New York magazine.
Hines also didn’t mention her acrimony with her husband, but she did mention RFK Jr while posting a tribute to her mother-in-law on Thursday.
‘Her charisma, wisdom and strength will live with me in every memory of her. “Bobby and I spent many warm nights in Hyannis Port dining with her and listening to stories of her extraordinary life,” Hines continued.
‘She always made me laugh. She was never too serious except when necessary. She was dressed to the nines and barefoot. We will miss her. My love is with the family.’
DailyMail.com spotted RFK Jr in California on Thursday getting out of a car, wearing a button-down shirt, blue jeans and glasses.
Kennedy posted her own tribute to her beloved mother on social media later Thursday.
“She drew joy from every moment, but for 56 years she has spoken longingly of the day she would be reunited with her beloved husband,” he wrote.
‘She is with him now, with my brothers David and Michael, with her parents, her six siblings, all of whom predeceased her, and her “adopted” Kennedy siblings Jack, Kick, Joe, Teddy, Eunice, Jean, Rosemary and Patricia.”
His last words about his mother: ‘I give her credit for all my virtues. I am grateful for your generosity in overlooking my shortcomings.’
Hines and RFK Jr had coffee together last week despite reports that the two have barely spoken in the past two weeks since allegations surfaced about his alleged affair with Nuzzi.
Rumors about RFK Jr and Cheryl Hines’ alleged impending divorce are heating up after Kennedy’s mother, Ethel, died earlier this week at age 96.
Hines paid tribute to the late Ethel Kennedy in an Instagram post, ending with “My love goes out to the family.”
Kennedy posted a tribute to her late mother, saying, “I give her credit for all my virtues.” I am grateful for your generosity in overlooking my shortcomings.
Olivia Nuzzi, 31, was allegedly involved in an affair with RFK Jr, 70, creating a rift in her marriage to Hines.
Late last month, Nuzzi, 31, New York magazine’s star political correspondent in Washington, D.C., acknowledged having a sexting relationship with Kennedy, 70, while covering his campaign.
Kennedy, who suspended his independent bid for president and endorsed Donald Trump in August, claimed the two had only met once when Nuzzi interviewed him for the magazine.
Nuzzi’s ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza is reportedly taking a ‘leave’ after an explosive court filing alleged he blackmailed her over the rumored affair.
Nuzzi claimed before the D.C. Supreme Court that Lizza ‘explicitly threatened to make public personal information about me to destroy my life, career, and reputation, a threat she has since carried out.’
Lizza will take a mutually agreeable leave of absence from her job at Politico.
