RFK Jr., 71, has found himself embroiled in multiple controversies in recent months, including an alleged affair with a political reporter. He was also under fire during his Senate hearing for denying things he previously said amid his bid to lead the Department of Health and Human Services in President Donald Trump's cabinet.

Hines, 59, showed her unwavering support for her husband ahead of the start of the political hopeful's confirmation hearing late last month. The two were seen packing on the PDA before the proceedings began. The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress was later photographed sitting behind RFK Jr. during his hearing.

Hines and RFK Jr. sparked romance rumors in 2011, but did not confirm their relationship until the following year. They got engaged in 2014 and wed at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, in August that year.

"You have given me a life I could've never imagined full of love, laughter, joy and adventure," Hines captioned a photo of the couple via Instagram in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary last year. "In my darkest hours you bring me light. I love you."
