Showering RFK Jr. Bizarrely Photobombs Wife Cheryl Hines As She Promotes Beauty Products

Conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Health and Human Services secretary pick—was bizarrely featured showering behind his wife, actor Cheryl Hines, as she attempted to promote her Hines + Young beauty products and a "Make America Healthy Again" candle.

Hines, best known for her starring role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, appeared amused by what she referred to as a “content interruption” in text at the top of the clip.

Giggling, she playfully told her husband:

“No, you can’t take a shower! I’m doing a video.”

While Kennedy was in the buff in the background, Hines continued to highlight a candle bearing the letters “MAHA,” shorthand for the vaccine skeptic’s “Make America Healthy Again” slogan. Unfazed by the distraction, Hines added a lighthearted note at the bottom of her video that read, “Oh Bobby,” accompanied by three sheepish emojis.

What in the world was that all about?

People were critical—and undeniably weirded out.

The odd video dropped amid continued controversy over Kennedy Jr.'s alleged romantic relationship with journalist Olivia Nuzzi.

In October, New York magazine announced that Nuzzi had left the publication following reports of her inappropriately “personal” relationship with one of her subjects.

According to a report from journalist Oliver Darcy in his Status newsletter published in September, the relationship between Nuzzi and Kennedy reportedly began after Nuzzi profiled Kennedy for New York in November 2023. Following the publication of the story, Kennedy denied having met Nuzzi outside the context of the interview.

Shortly afterward, The Daily Beast reported that Kennedy had allegedly bragged to friends about possessing “intimate” photos of her. Later that month, Kennedy deflected questions about the relationship, telling Fox News that he doesn’t comment on “those kinds of stories.”

Hines, meanwhile, refrained from commenting on the scandal for several weeks. In October, she told Us Weekly that she was experiencing “lots of emotions” over the “rumors” swirling around. Hines, who was seen wearing her wedding ring at the time, shared that she plans to address her thoughts in a book she is currently writing.
