Despite his alleged feud with the reporter that marred their 10-year marriage, Hines, 59, immediately rushed to her philandering husband’s side in Massachusetts on Saturday.

Rumors swirled that Hines was planning to divorce the former presidential candidate following allegations that he had a sexting relationship with the suspended New York magazine reporter.

Hines, dressed in all-black workout gear, arrived at the compound after her husband, with the pair spending an hour together at a nearby gym before making a stop at Trader Joes to stock up on supplies.
RFK Jr put his arm around his wife and held her tight before the two got into a car and headed to a nearby gym.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm star was wearing her wedding ring, after being pictured without it when news of the affair broke. Hines smiled and looked relaxed as she greeted family members at the multi-million dollar property.
Her husband wore a pink shirt and jeans for their alone time, but was seen without his wedding ring.
Despite the missing jewelry, the couple appears to be putting their differences behind them as the family gathers for Ethel’s funeral.

After spending an hour at the gym, the couple reportedly made a pit stop at Trader Joe’s before heading home
Bystanders at the gym said the pair stood apart for an hour while they worked out before being chased away by a security guard.
RFK Jr was once again quick to put his arm around his wife after they returned to the compound as staff delivered groceries to their property.
The couple appeared tense when they were spotted together a week ago, looking grim as they drove to a Starbucks in Malibu, California.
Both went separately to Massachusetts, with RFK arriving in the early hours of Saturday morning, two days after his mother’s death.
She left a touching message on his Instagram tribute to his mother, widow of former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, after she died of a stroke.

Hines also made no mention of her bitterness towards her husband, but did mention RFK Jr as she posted a tribute to her mother-in-law on Thursday.
‘Her charisma, wisdom and strength will live on in every memory of her. Bobby and I spent many warm nights in Hyannis Port, eating with her and hearing stories about her extraordinary life,” Hines continued.
‘She always made me laugh. She was never too serious, except when necessary. She dressed to the nines with bare feet. She will be missed. My love lies with the family.’
DailyMail.com spotted RFK Jr getting out of a car in California on Thursday, wearing a button-up shirt, jeans and glasses.
Kennedy posted his own tribute to his beloved mother on social media later Thursday.
“She took joy from every moment, but for 56 years she longed for the day when she would be reunited with her beloved husband,” he wrote.
“She is now with him, with my brothers David and Michael, with her parents, her six siblings, all of whom predeceased her, and her ‘adopted’ Kennedy siblings Jack, Kick, Joe, Teddy, Eunice , Jean, Rosemary and Patricia.’
His last words about his mother: ‘I appreciate her for all my virtues. I am grateful for her generosity in overlooking my mistakes.”
Hines and RFK Jr had coffee together last week, despite reports that the two have barely spoken in the past two weeks since allegations surfaced about his alleged affair with Nuzzi.

Olivia Nuzzi, 31, was reportedly involved in an affair with 70-year-old RFK Jr, causing a rift in his marriage to Hines
Late last month, Nuzzi, 31, the top Washington DC political correspondent for New York magazine, acknowledged having a sexting relationship with the 70-year-old Kennedy while covering his campaign.
Kennedy, who suspended his independent bid for the presidency and threw his support behind Donald Trump in August, claimed the two had met only once when Nuzzi interviewed him for the magazine.
Nuzzi’s ex-fiance Ryan Lizza is reportedly taking a ‘leave of absence’ after a court bombshell claimed he blackmailed her over the rumored affair.
Nuzzi alleged in D.C. Supreme Court that Lizza “explicitly threatened to disclose personal information about me to destroy my life, career and reputation – a threat he has since carried out.”
Lizza will take a mutually agreed leave of absence from his work at Politico.
