Damning new revelations about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sordid history have once again humiliated wife, Cheryl Hines and put their marriage on the rocks.
Now they're both to blame.
"She knew what she was getting into when she became 'the other woman' in his last marriage, and he has grown comfortable chewing up and spitting out wives," a Kennedy source exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
Camelot Marriage Crumbles Amid Cheating Claims

A source said Cheryl Hines was drawn to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid comparisons to Jacqueline Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy.
On the surface, the marriage seemed a convenient bridge between Camelot and Hollywood – but the wayward RFK Jr. soon lived up to his reputation as a philanderer and Hines was left to deal with the indignity of mounting public evidence of the embarrassing extent of her husband's long history of cheating.
"Cheryl was caught up in the Kennedy mystique and the chance to follow in the footsteps of such revered Kennedy women as former first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and her mother-in-law, Ethel Kennedy, who was the family's long-reigning matriarch," a source shared.
"But she should have known that Bobby would eventually bring her the same pain and humiliation he gave to his previous wives."
Hines was reportedly devastated when news of the nation's Health and Human Services secretary's bizarre sexting relationship with 33-year-old magazine writer Olivia Nuzzi went public in September 2024.
Cheating Bombshells Leave Hines Reeling

Olivia Nuzzi was linked to RFK Jr. in a sexting scandal, Hines called overwhelming in 'Unscripted.'
"The swirl of headlines, rumors, and insinuations was upsetting and overwhelming," Hines writes in her memoir, Unscripted, published in November. "I hated all of it."
Sources said she was once again crushed by the damning details of infidelity in Isabel Vincent's book RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise, released last month. The book is largely based on three volumes of Kennedy's diaries, which disturbingly detail the long list of ladies he shared sexual dalliances with.
Many occurred during his second marriage, to tragic Mary Richardson Kennedy – who had read the diaries and hanged herself in the family barn in 2012, two years after he filed for divorce.
Hollywood Backlash Destroys Camelot Marriage Dream


Isabel Vincent's book 'RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise' details RFK Jr.'s alleged affairs during his marriage to Mary Richardson Kennedy.
By that time, Bobby had already moved in with Hines, who married him in 2014 despite friends warning her of his alleged cheating just months before the wedding.
Bobby's political move to the right landed him a job in the Trump cabinet but alienated him from his powerful Democratic family and virtually destroyed Cheryl's career in ultra-liberal Hollywood.
"There is no way for them to survive all this," a source said. "But it's a disaster of their own creation."
