Hines declined to comment directly on the alleged affair, but she broached the topic during a series of questions about some of her husband’s scandals in an interview. wall street journal Published on Tuesday.
“I don’t think there’s any point in looking at every rumor and headline to try to defend or explain it,” the actress said.
“Bobby and I talk about everything, so we approach everything that way, and we’re really good friends, and we trust each other.”
He further added, “One can conclude that we love each other and are still married and whatever we went through is behind us.”
When asked how he felt knowing that his 59-year-old wife would inevitably get caught up in their disputes, the 71-year-old politician — who also took part in the interview — told the outlet that it’s impossible to control.

News of Kennedy’s alleged affair with Nuzzi emerged in September 2024 when the journalist acknowledged the scandal in a statement.
While Nuzzi denied ever having a physical relationship with the former 2024 presidential candidate, she explained that the “nature” of their communications had become “personal.”
