Cheryl Hines broke her silence amid rumored marital strife with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his affair with reporter Olivia Nuzzi to post a solemn remembrance of Kennedys mother Ethel.

Ethel Kennedy, matriarch of the Kennedy dynasty and widow of former United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, died at the age of 96 earlier Thursday after suffering a stroke.

Hines was seen wearing her wedding ring on Sunday, despite swirling rumors that shes getting ready to divorce her allegedly philandering husband after it was revealed Nuzzi and RFK Jr. had a sexting relationship.

She made no mention of it but did mention her husband while posting a tribute to her mother-in-law Ethel Thursday.

My mother in law, Ethel Kennedy, Bobbys mother, passed this morning. It has been my great honor to have shared laughter and love with Ethel, she wrote, captioning a photo of Ethel with her husbands father and former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy Sr.

Her charisma, wisdom and strength will live on with me in every memory of her. Bobby and I spent many warm nights in Hyannis Port having dinner with her and hearing stories from her extraordinary life, Hines continued. 

She always made me laugh. She was never too serious except when she needed to be. She dressed to nines with bare feet. She will be missed. My love is with the family.

DailyMail.com spotted RFK Jr. California on Thursday exiting a car, wearing button down shirt, blue jeans and glasses. 

Kennedy posted his own tribute to his beloved mother on social media later Thursday.

She wrung joy from every moment, but for 56 years she has spoken with yearning of the day she would reunite 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 final words on his mother: I credit her for all my virtues. I’m grateful for her generosity in overlooking my faults. 

Last week, Hines and RFK Jr. got coffee together despite reports that the two have barely spoken over the past two weeks since reports surfaced of his alleged affair with Nuzzi.

The sighting came after DailyMail.com revealed that close friends are expecting Hines to file for divorce amid the unfolding controversy.

Late last month, Nuzzi, 31, the Washington, D.C. star political correspondent for New York magazine, acknowledged having a sexting relationship with Kennedy, 70, while covering his campaign.

Kennedy, who suspended his independent bid for president and threw his support behind Donald Trump in August, claimed the two had only met once when Nuzzi interviewed him for the magazine.

Nuzzis ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza is reportedly taking a leave of absence after a bombshell court filing alleged he blackmailed her over her rumored affair.

Nuzzi claimed in DC Supreme Court that Lizza explicitly threatened to make public personal information about me to destroy my life, career, and reputation—a threat he has since carried out. 

Lizza will be taking a mutually-agreed leave of absence from his work at Politico. 

It comes as the Kennedy family reels from the death of one of the last remaining links to the Camelot era of JFKs presidency.

Ethel, the sister-in-law of the late President John F. Kennedy had suffered a stroke in her sleep last week and was rushed to hospital.

The third of her 11 children - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - ran a high-profile campaign for president in 2024 as an independent candidate, before endorsing Donald Trump in August.

His campaign, and his views on vaccines, led to division in the Kennedy clan. Some other members denounced him and threw their support behind the Democratic nominee. 

However, Ethel Kennedy never commented publicly on her sons actions. 

Ethel Kennedy was widowed at the age of 40 when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. 

She was by her husbands side when he was fatally shot in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, just after winning the Democratic presidential primary in California.

She was pregnant with their youngest child at the time.

It was among a series of devastating tragedies for her family.  

Ethels brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy, had been assassinated in Dallas less than five years earlier.

Ethel Kennedy, the matriarch of the Kennedy dynasty and the widow of former United States Attorney General Robert Kennedy, has died at the age of 96 

Her parents were killed in a plane crash in 1955, and her brother died in a 1966 crash. Her son David Kennedy later died of a drug overdose, son Michael Kennedy in a skiing accident, and nephew John F. Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash.

Following her husbands assassination she never remarried and dedicated the rest of her life to philanthropy and issues including gun control. 

She founded the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights and worked tirelessly for world peace.

She spent her summers on Cape Cod in the familys storied compound in Hyannis Port, but largely stayed out of public life. 

Her death was announced by former Rep. Joe Kennedy III - a grandchild - who now serves as the U.S. Special Envoy for Northern Ireland under President Joe Biden.

It is with our hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our amazing grandmother, Ethel Kennedy, Joe Kennedy said on X. She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week. 

Along with a lifetimes work in social justice and human rights, our mother leaves behind nine children, 34 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom love her dearly, he said.

She was a devout Catholic and a daily communicant, and we are comforted in knowing she is reunited with the love of her life, our father, Robert F. Kennedy; her children David and Michael; her daughter-in-law Mary; her grandchildren Maeve and Saoirse; and her great-grandchildren Gideon and Josie, Joe Kennedy said. Please keep her in your hearts and prayers.
