Kennedy Jr. on their anniversary. Newsweek reached out to Hines and Kennedy Jr.'s representatives via email for comment on Monday. Why It Matters Hines, 59, is known for her role on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. The actress and Kennedy Jr., 71, got married in August 2014, and they credit Hines' Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star and creator, Larry David, for introducing them. According to The New York Times, the pair met twice—first while at a ski resort in Canada and later in Deer Valley, Utah. Kennedy Jr.—who is the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy—and Hines have seven children in their blended family. Hines has a daughter, Catherine, from her first marriage to ex-husband Paul Young. Kennedy Jr. has six kids—Bobby III and Kathleen with his first wife, Emily Ruth Black, and Conor, Aidan, Kyra and William "Finn" with his second wife, Mary Richardson. Richardson died by suicide in 2012. What To Know On Sunday, Hines shared a touching tribute to Kennedy Jr. on their 11-year wedding anniversary. "Happy anniversary, Bobby. We've had 11 amazing years together and I can't wait to see what the next eleven will bring," she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of them together. "I love you." Kennedy Jr. also penned his own message to Hines. "Thanks for eleven years of love and laughter," he wrote on X. "You fill all my empty spaces." In October, Hines posted a message about her mother-in-law, Ethel Kennedy, following her death at the age of 96. "It has been my great honor to have shared laughter and love with Ethel," the Bad Moms star said at the time. "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. She always made me laugh," Hines continued. "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." Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attend the Los Angeles premiere of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Season 12 at the Directors Guild of America on January 30, 2024, in Los Angeles. Cheryl Hines and Robert F.

Larry David teaming with the Obamas for first show since 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
Larry David just dropped some pretty, pretty, pretty big news: He's teaming up with a former president for his next HBO show. The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator, 78, is set to star in a new HBO "American history sketch comedy" series, which will be produced by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama with their company Higher Ground, the network announced Thursday, July 10. The six-episode limited series will also be written and produced by David. "I've sat across the table from some of the world's most difficult leaders and wrestled with some of our most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David," Barack Obama joked in a statement. In his own statement, David quipped that it is "with a heavy heart that I return to television." The show is timed to the United States' Semiquincentennial, which is in 2026. "President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America's 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion," the official logline said. "...But then Larry David called." Amy Gravitt, head of comedy programming at HBO and HBO Max, said the series will "give us a glimpse at our shared history as we celebrate our Semiquincentennial," while executive producer Jeff Schaffer said, "The characters Larry is playing didn't change history. In fact, they were largely ignored by history. And that's a good thing." Larry David skewers Bill Maher-Trump meeting in satirical Hitler essay The project marks David's first new television show since his long-running HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," on which he starred as a fictional version of himself, ended in 2024 after more than two decades on the air. David previously created "Seinfeld" with Jerry Seinfeld. According to HBO, the new show, which does not yet have a title or release date, will feature some actors from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" mixed with "noteworthy guest stars." Larry David says he talks to Richard Lewis after comic's death: 'I feel he's watching me' On "Sunday Today" in 2024, David joked he was ending "Curb Your Enthusiasm" because he's "too old to really be on camera every single week" — especially playing someone like his "Curb" character, who was known for his constant social faux pas. "To act the way I do on this show, how can I continue to act like that? It's insane," he said. "Yeah, I can do it in my 50s and 60s to mid-70s. I'm not going into the 80s acting like that!"
