“Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Cheryl Hines hasn’t publicly commented on hubby Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sexting scandal with a much younger political reporter — but she’s likely fuming behind the scenes, a source told Page Six Friday.
The source, who knows the couple, said Hines is no pushover at home and “has a backbone.”
“He was on the road a lot this year, so maybe it was different and tested the relationship,” the source speculated, referring to RFK’s quixotic presidential bid which was suspended last month.
“I don’t imagine her putting up with this. She has a backbone. She’s not a little housewife at home. She is successful financially independent on her own.”
News of the 70-year-old RFK’s alleged digital-only, sexting relationship with New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, 31, broke Thursday, sending shockwaves through the DC circuit and beyond.
Hines and RFK have been married since 2014.
