Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the controversial environmental lawyer and scion of the famed political dynasty, has found himself embroiled in yet another scandal—this time involving a secret Washington DC property and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines.
According to sources close to the couple, RFK Jr allegedly convinced Hines to purchase a lavish DC townhouse under the guise of needing a 'political base' for his work. However, insiders claim the property was intended as a 'love nest' for his personal use.
The Deceptive Purchase
The $5.6 million Georgetown property, bought in 2022, was presented to Hines as a necessary investment for Kennedy's activist work. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star reportedly agreed to the purchase believing it would serve as a professional hub.
However, multiple sources suggest Kennedy had other plans for the residence—using it for private meetings and overnight stays without his wife's knowledge.
Marital Strain
The revelation has reportedly caused significant tension in the couple's 18-year marriage. Friends of Hines describe her as 'devastated' by what she perceives as a betrayal of trust.
'Cheryl feels completely blindsided,' one insider revealed. 'She believed this was about his work, not about creating a separate life in DC.'
A Pattern of Controversy
This incident adds to Kennedy's growing list of controversies, including his anti-vaccine activism and recent independent presidential bid that's causing headaches for both major political parties.
Real estate experts note the property's features—including a private courtyard and separate entrance—make it 'ideal for discreet comings and goings.'
Neither Kennedy nor Hines has publicly commented on the allegations, leaving Washington society buzzing about the true nature of this political power couple's domestic arrangements.
