<p>Cheryl Hines admitted during a recent interview that her husband, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had offered her the chance to stage a &#8220;fake&#8221; separation in order to divert politically motivated attacks away from her.</p>
<p>Hines told Dr. Phil McGraw that Kennedy had known he would be a political target, but that he&#8217;d made the offer in the hopes that he could draw some of the negative attention away from her, sparing her the stress of constant scrutiny.</p>

<p>Dr. Phil raised the question, asking whether it was true that Kennedy had offered her an out, and then immediately followed up by asking whether she had actually considered going through with it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well &#8230; Things got really intense,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t consider it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hines went on to say that Kennedy had drawn a significant amount of criticism for his stance on vaccines during COVID — particularly vaccine mandates — and that she had often gotten lumped in with him when he was attacked.</p>
<p>When Kennedy voiced his unpopular opinions, Hines said, people would turn on her and ask how she could stay married to him if those were the things he believed. Others would refuse to spend time with her because she stayed with him, saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t be around you because you&#8217;re married to him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hines brushed it all off, saying that she&#8217;d known she and Kennedy would have disagreements before they were married, and nothing had changed. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t marry him because of his politics. Why would I leave him because of his politics?&#8221;</p>
