Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly acquiesced to his wife Cheryl Hines’ insistence on relocating to Washington, D.C., by purchasing a $4.34 million townhouse in Georgetown.
The move follows allegations of Kennedy’s inappropriate communications with journalist Olivia Nuzzi, which have strained their marriage.
The 4,876-square-foot Georgetown row house, built in the early 1900s, boasts classic charm and luxury touches including a grand reception foyer, open-plan formal living and dining rooms, and a master suite complete with a fireplace, steam shower, and cast iron tub.
Just one block from Wisconsin Avenue, the home offers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a quick 15-minute commute to the White House, according to MEAWW News.
But insiders claim the move wasn’t entirely his idea.
According to sources, wife Cheryl Hines pushed hard for the relocation not just for convenience, but to keep a closer eye on her husband.
“She told him she wanted to live in Georgetown, in one of its spectacular row homes,” one source said, adding that she was “very bossy about it, giving him an ultimatum to move her to D.C. forthwith or face the wrath of God.”
Kennedy who has faced allegations of infidelity in previous relationships reportedly replied with frustration:
“OK, if you want to move to D.C., you find the house, you deal with the real estate I have the health of the country to deal with.”
The couple’s new Georgetown home is being viewed as a fresh start a move toward rebuilding trust and strengthening their marriage. According to MEAWW News, Cheryl Hines sees the relocation as more than just practical;
she reportedly believes that living in the heart of Washington brings her closer to the Kennedy legacy, drawing inspiration from Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic years in the capital.
