Cheryl Hines Opens Up About Her Remarkable Life: From Larry David To Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A Journey Through Love and Comedy

Cheryl Hines, the beloved star of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, has a story that’s as fascinating as it is heartwarming. In a recent conversation with Closer, Cheryl revealed how her life has evolved over the years. “Larry David was my first husband in a way,” she joked, reflecting on her early days on the show when she was still single. “Then I married Paul Young, and later, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.” Despite her varied marital journey, Cheryl maintains a remarkable connection with all her former husbands. “When I received my star on Hollywood Boulevard in 2014, all three of them were in the front row,” she shared, showcasing the incredible support system she’s built over the years.

A Unique Bond with Paul Young

Cheryl’s relationship with Paul Young, the father of her 13-year-old daughter Catherine Rose Young, is nothing short of extraordinary. “We have a very interesting relationship,” Cheryl told Closer. “My agent always jokes, ‘That’s a sitcom, Cheryl!’” Their bond goes beyond personal ties; Paul is now producing Cheryl’s new dramedy series, This Close, which premiered on Valentine’s Day on the Sundance Now streaming service. It’s a testament to how they’ve managed to keep their connection strong and supportive, even after parting ways as a couple.

Meeting the Kennedy Charm

Cheryl also spoke about the stark differences in how people react to her and her current husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “When we’re out and about, someone might approach Bobby with tears in their eyes, saying, ‘What you and your family have done for our country, human rights, and democracy has been so important,’” she shared. Yet, within minutes, someone might approach Cheryl with a completely different vibe. “They’ll say, ‘I remember that time on Curb Your Enthusiasm when you had diarrhea in the car wash, and it really made us laugh,’” she laughed. Despite their vastly different public personas, Cheryl and Bobby have found common ground. “It’s nice because we both understand what it’s like to be a recognizable person. If one person is famous and the other isn’t, it can be tricky, but we’re recognized for different things, and that works well for us,” Cheryl explained.

Their ability to navigate fame and personal life together is a testament to their strong foundation and mutual respect.
