Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tied the knot in 2014, but first met each other in 2006. Interestingly enough, Hines met her future husband through her make-believe TV spouse. As Hines recalled for The New York Times, she and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David were attending a fundraising event hosted by Waterkeeper Alliance, an ecologically minded nonprofit of which Kennedy was co-founder, when David introduced them.
Hines had never been a particularly political person, and that extended to her knowledge of the Kennedy political dynasty. "Really, the only thing I knew about the Kennedys was what I learned in public school, in history," she said. At that time, embarking on a romance was the furthest thing from either of their minds, as both were married to other people.
When they met again, in 2011, their circumstances had changed dramatically. Both Hines and Kennedy, in fact, were in the midst of divorcing their respective partners, and they started dating. According to Hines, David's introduction was not intended to spark a love affair — in fact, when she told him they'd started dating, he was pretty, pretty, pretty pessimistic. "He said, 'Ah, that's a terrible idea. That's never gonna last,'" Hines recalled during an appearance on "The Meredith Vieira Show." According to Hines, David has yet to admit he was wrong. "I think if you asked him now, he'd say, 'We'll see.'"
