RFK Jr. and wife Cheryl Hines are spotted hand in hand as they return to the Kennedy compound in Cape Cod following death of his mom

Cheryl Hines rushed to comfort grieving Robert F Kennedy Jr. following the death of his mother, but surprisingly, the estranged pair put on a loved-up display at the family compound after his affair with Olivia Nuzzi.

Despite his alleged dalliance with the reporter marring their 10-year marriage, Hines, 59, immediately dashed to her philandering husband’s side in Massachusetts on Saturday. 

The loss of the Kennedy dynasty matriarch, Ethel, 96, on Thursday, appears to have thawed any lingering frostiness between the couple following his alleged affair with Nuzzi, 31.

Rumors had been swirling that Hines was planning to divorce the former presidential candidate, following allegations he had a sexting relationship with the suspended New York magazine reporter.

Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the couple holding hands at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, putting on a united front ahead of the funeral.

Hines, dressed in all-black workout gear, arrived at the compound after her husband, with the pair spending an hour together in a nearby gym before making a stop at Trader Joes to stock up on supplies.

RFK Jr put his arm around his wife and held her close before the two piled into a car and headed to a nearby gym.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star was wearing her wedding ring, after being pictured without it when news of the affair broke. Hines smiled and looked relaxed as she greeted family members at the multi-million-dollar property.

Her husband donned a pink shirt and jeans for their alone time but was seen without his wedding band.

Despite the missing jewelry the couple seem to be putting their differences behind them as the family come together for Ethel’s funeral.

Onlookers in the gym said the pair kept to themselves as they worked out for around an hour, before being driven off by a security detail.

RFK Jr, again, was quick to put his arm around his wife after they returned to the compound, with staff taking groceries into their property.

The couple appeared under strain when seen together a week ago, looking grim faced as they drove to a Starbucks in Malibu, California.

Both made their way to Massachusetts separately, with RFK arriving in the early hours of Saturday morning, two days after the death of his mother.

She left a touching message on his Instagram tribute to his mother, widow of former United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, after she died of a stroke.

Hines also made no mention of her acrimony with her husband, but did mention RFK Jr while posting a tribute to her mother-in-law on Thursday.

‘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,’ Hines continued.

‘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.’

DailyMail.com spotted RFK Jr in California on Thursday exiting a car, wearing button down shirt, blue jeans and glasses.

Kennedy posted his own tribute to his beloved mother on social media later Thursday.

‘She wrung joy from every moment, but for 56 years she has spoken with yearning of the day she would reunite with her beloved husband,’ he wrote.

‘She is with him now, with my brothers David and Michael, with her parents, her six siblings, all of whom predeceased her, and her “adopted” Kennedy siblings Jack, Kick, Joe, Teddy, Eunice, Jean, Rosemary, and Patricia.’

His final words on his mother: ‘I credit her for all my virtues. I’m grateful for her generosity in overlooking my faults.’

Hines and RFK Jr got coffee together last week despite reports that the two have barely spoken over the past two weeks since allegations surfaced of his alleged affair with Nuzzi.

Late last month, Nuzzi, 31, the Washington, D.C. star political correspondent for New York magazine, acknowledged having a sexting relationship with Kennedy, 70, while covering his campaign.

Kennedy, who suspended his independent bid for president and threw his support behind Donald Trump in August, claimed the two had only met once when Nuzzi interviewed him for the magazine.

Nuzzi’s ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza is reportedly taking a ‘leave of absence’ after a bombshell court filing alleged that he blackmailed her over the rumored affair.

Nuzzi claimed in DC Supreme Court that Lizza ‘explicitly threatened to make public personal information about me to destroy my life, career, and reputation—a threat he has since carried out.’

Lizza will be taking a mutually agreed leave of absence from his work at Politico.
