Cheryl Hines motivated to buy home to save her marriage

RFK Jr’s recent purchase came on the heels of mounting speculations that his wife, Cheryl Hines, has taken matter unto herself to keep her politician husband’s “lust demons” in control. 

The Health Secretary, who has previously built up a reputation for cheating on his previous two wives -- Emily Black and Mary Richardson -- recently stirred up the pot when the scandal of his texting with New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, 31, came to light. 

Speaking to Daily Mail, a source shared, “Cheryl was furious and made her demands very clear,” before adding, “She told Bobby in no uncertain terms she wanted to live in Georgetown, in one of its spectacular row homes and she was very bossy about it, giving him an ultimatum to move her to DC forthwith, or face the wrath of God.”

“But her main goal was keep his wandering eye from wandering again,” clarified the source. 

Another source noted, “Ok, if you want to move to DC, you find the house, you deal with the real estate, I have the health of the country to deal with.”

Thus, she began her hunt for an upscale address in Washington. As the home came into the market around three months ago, she wanted her ‘Vax-Unvax’ author husband to sign the papers. 

“She ordered Bobby to sign the papers for it,” shared the source. 

Moreover, sources also noted that she wanted to live the Washington life RFK Jr’s uncle John F Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, lived before his time at the White House. 

“She felt living there would give her the imprimatur of being a genuine Kennedy wife, like Jackie when she was married,” shared a source referencing President Kennedy’s marriage. 

At the end, they noted, "It's clear that Cheryl wants to keep the marriage alive, is hoping that she can regain her trust in Bobby. But only time will tell."
