Although Larry David was the one who first introduced Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., when he learned that they started dating, he tried to put a stop to it. Hines told Alec Baldwin on his podcast “Here’s the Thing,” that after she told David about her attraction to Kennedy Jr., he said, “That’s a terrible idea. No, no, no, don’t get involved, that’s a terrible idea.” In an interview with the New York Times, Hines shared that David was just joking about being against her relationship with Kennedy Jr., adding, “It’s part of the fun of Larry. You just know no matter what you say to him, he’s going to say, ‘Why would you do that? Are you crazy?'”
Perhaps David was also just joking when he made a face at Hines and Kennedy Jr.’s wedding. In 2015, fresh after her wedding to her new husband, Hines appeared on “The Meredith Vieira Show” and shared a picture of David looking unhappy as he posed with the newly wedded couple. “I read that he was not optimistic about you guys as a couple when you first got together,” Vieira told Hines. “He’s not optimistic about anything,” the actor laughed.
