Hines disclosed that she is writing a book about the several cheating allegations her marriage to RFK has gone through in the past, amid the latest one involving Nuzzi. At the Groundlings 50th Anniversary Event in Los Angeles on Saturday, the actress stated:

"Lots of emotions with rumors! But it will all be in my book. I'm writing a book. I've been taking notes — serious notes!"

The actress who donned her wedding ring proudly continued that she is focused on spending time with her family and having lots of fun.

"They're fun. I mean, if I had a boring family, it would be tough. And I think just trying to embrace the unknown and instead of fighting against it, sort of trying to embrace it and just say yes to whatever comes your way," she noted.

Not only is she writing a book, but the 59-year-old also spilled valuable secrets about how she and her husband have managed to stay happy and move past the crazy moments in their decade-long union. She credits "connection" as a key player in any happy relationship, adding:

"There's a connection that you look at your husband or your partner and all the crazy going on around you, or you look and you check in and it's like, 'OK. It's going to be OK. We're going to move through this moment.'"

The actress continued, saying, "And, you know, a lot of times it's funny, and you can lean over and say, 'This is crazy balls,' and have a moment together and then hold your head up high and go to the next thing."

The screen goddess also touched on how they have learned to take each day as it comes. The actress recalled her husband's stance on becoming a politician when they began dating in 2011. She shared:

"When I met Bobby, I said, 'You never wanted to go into politics?' and he said, 'No, I feel like I can do more work as an environmental attorney, and I don't have to. I'm not beholden to companies or corporations. I was like, 'Great. This is going to be great!' And then life gives you a left turn, a right turn, however, it turns out to be."

However, RFK's stance changed as time went on, and he, in fact, got involved in politics, so much so that he launched his 2024 presidential bid last year.

Despite the mixed feelings attached to being active in politics, Hines noted that she does not let her husband's career affect their connection as lovers.

"I'm OK to have conversations like that with people and, to me, it doesn't define somebody.To some people it does and it's like you can't control it. There's nothing I can do about it, so I have to let it wash over me," the actress stated as she expressed her concern over Hollywood's notion about politics.

The lovebirds got married in 2014 after dating for three years and have seven children in total in their mixed family. Hines shares 20-year-old daughter Catherine Rose with her ex-husband Paul Young, and RFK has six from past relationships.

The Blast shared that reports suggesting an alleged personal relationship between the politician and Nuzzi surfaced on Thursday, September 19, after New York Magazine announced the journalist's leave of absence.

In a note to its readers, the magazine explained that Nuzi had been placed on leave due to her involvement with a figure connected to the 2024 campaign. While the magazine hid the subject's identity, a source close to the story informed CNN that the individual was the former presidential candidate.

New York Magazine added in the note that the relationship breached its conflict-of-interest and disclosure policies, stating that she would not have been permitted to continue covering the campaign if they were aware of the "relationship."
