The Curb Your Enthusiasm star appeared on the Katie Miller podcast and addressed rumors and speculations concerning her marriage.
In September 2024, Olivia Nuzzi alleged that she had an online romantic relationship with RFK Jnr, the Health and Human Services Secretary, while covering his presidential campaign for New York Magazine.

Hines, when asked to respond to rumors about her marriage, maintained that she always considered the source before conversing with her husband.
She added that she didn’t know who the accuser was, and many people liked to chase clout:
"I don’t know this person. Don’t know their intentions. I could guess, but I won’t. But you can, if you want," she said to Miller with a laugh.There’s a lot of people who look for clout,"

In a Fox News Digital interview, Hines expressed that the speculations surrounding her marriage have only strengthened her and her partner.
