WASHINGTON, DC: Television star Cheryl Hines shared a video on November 27 promoting her line of 'MAHA' candles and self-care products for the Black Friday sale, in which her husband Robert F Kennedy Jr appeared showering in the background, reported Mediaite.

Kennedy Jr has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Health and Human Services in his incoming administration and has long promoted the slogan 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA).

While Hines was reportedly unhappy with the Democratic royalty endorsing Trump in the 2024 general election, her company Hines+Young has released a line of products named after the slogan that owes its origin to Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA).

Cheryl Hines took to Instagram and uploaded a short video on her story on Friday afternoon, where she was seen hawking candles as Robert F Kennedy Jr showered behind her.

“No! You can’t take a shower, I’m doing a video!” Hines yells at Kennedy in the clip, who appears semi-naked mid-shower. She then proceeds to mention that the candles she was promoting were available at a discount of 60 percent in the sale, and asks her followers to visit the company website.

Kennedy Jr did not speak throughout the video and stayed in the shower. He had previously stated that his endorsement of Trump had been "difficult" for his wife, though it seemingly did not stop her from riding the 'MAHA' wave to sell her products.
