Cheryl Hines has publicly expressed her support for her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., following his announcement that he will run for president.

"My husband, Robert Kennedy Jr., announced today he will be running for President, and I support his decision," the 57-year-old actress said in a statement. "He is a fearless leader who understands the needs of the American people and has devoted his life fighting for democracy."

Hines' statement was released on April 19, the same day that her husband, an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer, launched his bid for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination in Boston, Massachusetts. The 69-year-old candidate is the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of Robert Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968.

The actress has previously confirmed her support for her husband during his new venture. "I support my husband 100 percent, and I love my husband," she told reporters. "It's going to be fun."

Hines also expressed her belief in her husband's work, saying, "I think his body of work will get him everywhere he needs to go."

RFK Jr. filed his paperwork for his presidential run on April 6. Following the announcement, his younger sister, Kerry Kennedy, issued a statement clarifying her stance on her brother's views. "I love my brother Bobby, but I do not share or endorse his opinions on many issues, including the COVID pandemic, vaccinations, and the role of social media platforms in policing false information," she said.

Doug Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s youngest brother, also weighed in, stating, "Everyone [in the family] loves him and recognizes his talent. Not everyone agrees with his positions."

Cheryl Hines, known for her role in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," has previously admitted that she does not support her husband's controversial views, including his statement in January 2022 comparing COVID vaccine mandates to the Holocaust. "My husband's opinions are not a reflection of my own," she said on Twitter last year. "While we love each other, we differ on many current issues."
