Cheryl Hines paid tribute to mother-in-law Ethel Kennedy after her death Thursday, marking the first time the actress and wife of embattled politician Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spoken publicly since news of her husband’s affair with New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi broke last month.

“My mother in law, Ethel Kennedy, Bobby’s mother, passed this morning,” Hines wrote on her personal X account — “Bobby” being RFK Jr. “It has been my great honor to have shared laughter and love with Ethel. Her charisma, wisdom and strength will live on with me in every memory of her.”

“Bobby and I spent many warm nights in Hyannis Port having dinner with her and hearing stories from her extraordinary life,” the post continued.
