RFK Jr. once had 43 ‘mistresses’ in his cellphone – including now-wife Cheryl Hines
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once kept a list of up to 43 rumored mistresses in his cellphone.
The Kennedy scion, now 70, had contact information for dozens of women in an alphabetical list under the letter “G,” which his late second wife believed stood for “goomar,” the Italian slang for mistress, The Post revealed in 2014.
One of the women on the list was “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines, who married Kennedy at his family compound in Hyannis Port that year.
Hines, 59, has not commented on reports her husband was sexting with New York magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi earlier this year — though an insider insisted to Page Six that the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star is “no pushover.”
“I don’t imagine her putting up with this. She has a backbone. She’s not a little housewife at home. She is successful financially independent on her own,” the source said.
In 2014, Kennedy also had contact information for Chelsea Chapman Kirwan, who was linked to the future White House hopeful during her own divorce from celebrity plastic surgeon Lawrence Kirwan.
There were so many women on the list, some of whom shared the same first name, that the entries had to be distinguished by their profession or city.
At the time, it appeared Kennedy had a woman in almost every city, including at least five in Toronto; one in Paris; others in Palm Beach and Pensacola, Fla.; Alaska; Aspen, Colo.; Miami; Montreal, and Cleveland.
One of the women had the note “airplane” after her name, while another was denoted with “farm” and a third with “teacher.”
Yet another was only cryptically referred to as “Z.”
Kennedy’s second wife, Mary Richardson died by suicide in 2012, and once told a friend her philandering husband also used aliases to hide his own identity while globe-trotting.
His preferred pseudonym was “Robert Strong,” she claimed.
Kennedy, through a spokesman, refused to comment when the revelations came to light in 2014.
Kennedy’s team did not immediately respond Saturday to The Post’s request for a comment on the alleged mistress list.
The environmental lawyer also documented his extramarital exploits in a series of diaries seen by The Post after Mary’s tragic death.The 398 pages included codes for different sexual acts.
In 2001, Kennedy wrote of struggling with “lust demons.” He later said the diaries were “a tool for self-examination and for dealing with my spiritual struggles at the time.”
A Post reporter who questioned Kennedy Friday about the diary was first met with six seconds of stunned silence, before he said, “I don’t think there is any way you could have a diary or journal of mine from 2001,” Kennedy then said. “I don’t have any comment on it. I have no diary from 2001.”
Kennedy’s romantic interests made headlines again this week, when New York magazine revealed star political reporter Nuzzi, 31, was on leave following the revelation she had a personal relationship with a subject close to the 2024 presidential race.
The subject in question was later revealed to be Kennedy, whom Nuzzi profiled for the magazine in November 2023.
The pair was allegedly sexting at some point this year, sources told The Post.
In her own statement about the entanglement, Nuzzi did not name Kennedy and denied that the relationship was ever physical.
A spokesperson for Kennedy, who suspended his presidential campaign last month and endorsed Donald Trump, insisted he only met the writer once.
“Mr. Kennedy only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece,” a Kennedy spokesperson previously told The Post.
