Yahoo Lifestyle Cheryl Hines Honors Mother-In-Law Ethel Kennedy With Touching Tribute
Cheryl Hines’ relationship with husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might currently be strained, but that didn’t stop her from honoring his mother, Ethel Kennedy, on social media.
Ethel Kennedy died Thursday at the age of 96. She was hospitalized Oct. 3 after she suffered a stroke in her sleep.
Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have reportedly been distant since news broke that he had a personal relationship with New York Magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi.
However, she made sure to let the world know how she felt about her mother-in-law of 10 years.
“My mother in law, Ethel Kennedy, Bobby’s mother, passed this morning. It has been my great honor to have shared laughter and love with Ethel,” she wrote in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. “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. 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,” she added.
