In a move that’s raising eyebrows but leaving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. completely unfazed, the former environmental lawyer admitted to once having 43 mistresses in his cellphone contacts. Among them? His now-wife, Cheryl Hines. The revelation has left many shocked—but apparently not RFK Jr., who waved it off with a classic Kennedy line: “I’m a Kennedy after all.”
Kennedy, known for his unconventional charm and unpredictable campaign strategies, seemed baffled that anyone would find his past dating habits newsworthy. “People act like this is unusual,” he said. “Honestly, it’s just another Tuesday for a Kennedy.”
“This Is News?”
The admission from RFK Jr. has sent social media into overdrive, but the man himself appears puzzled by the reaction. “I don’t see what the big deal is,” he said casually. “It’s practically in the Kennedy family rulebook.”
Social media was quick to jump on his comment, with one user tweeting, “When you’re a Kennedy, a few dozen mistresses is just family tradition.”
Cheryl Hines: The Last Woman Standing
Perhaps the most intriguing part of this revelation is that Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr.’s current wife, was among the 43 names. The fact that she emerged as the final contestant in what many have described as a “Kennedy-style romantic survival game” only adds to the drama.
But Kennedy insists that his past is just that—past. “Cheryl was always the one,” he assured reporters, though he declined to say where she ranked on the list. Hines, for her part, has remained characteristically quiet on the topic, possibly relying on her sitcom experience to handle the awkwardness.
The Kennedy Legacy: Scandal Runs in the Blood
No one familiar with the Kennedy family legacy is too shocked by RFK Jr.’s romantic history. After all, the Kennedys have long been known for their complex relationships, both in politics and in their personal lives. From JFK’s infamous dalliances to RFK Jr.’s own escapades, it seems scandal is part of the family brand.
Political commentators were quick to point out that this revelation might hurt any other candidate, but not a Kennedy. “This only reinforces the Kennedy mystique,” said one analyst. “In fact, it probably boosts his stock.”
Social Media Reacts: “Only 43?”
The reaction on social media has been a mix of humor and disbelief. “Only 43? I thought Kennedys had higher numbers,” joked one Twitter user. Another quipped, “So, Cheryl Hines won the dating lottery against 42 others? Impressive.”
Memes quickly followed, with users turning Kennedy’s love life into a game show parody, complete with captions like, “Who will survive and get the rose?”
Does It Matter?
While some are wondering if this revelation will impact RFK Jr.’s political prospects, most agree it’s unlikely to do much damage. “If anything, it’s just another Kennedy tale to add to the family’s storied history,” said a political analyst. “For a Kennedy, this is pretty standard.”
For his part, Kennedy seems more amused than concerned. “My family’s been through worse,” he said with a grin. “This? This is just a blip.”
