Does Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Have Children? He Actually Has Six!

Over the years, lawyer and author Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — yes, he's related to those Kennedys you're thinking of — has been banned from Instagram (he has since had his account restored), has written several bestselling novels, and has been a vocal anti-vaccine advocate.

But what do his kids think about it all? Given that RFK Jr.—who announced his presidential run in April 2023 and then decided to suspend his campaign in August 2024 in 10 swing states and back Donald Trump instead—has been married three times, it’s safe to say he has a few children, right?

Here's everything we know about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s kids.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has six children. His two eldest children are from his first marriage to Emily Ruth Black. Together, the couple had two children — Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy III and Kathleen Alexandra "Kick" Kennedy. Robert previously showed interest in politics but later jumped into entertainment. As for Kick, she’s an environmental activist and has dabbled in acting.

After RFK Jr. and Emily divorced in 1994, he tied the knot with Mary Kathleen Richardson, who sadly died by suicide in 2012.

During their 16-year marriage, RFK Jr. and Mary had four children together: three sons named Conor Richardson Kennedy, William Finbar Kennedy, and Aidan Caohman Vieques Kennedy, as well as one daughter, Kyra LeMoyne Kennedy.

Conor, who was completing law school at Georgetown University in 2022, per People, briefly dated Taylor Swift. William has shown interest in aquatics and wildlife, and Aidan is a student at Harvard University, according to his LinkedIn bio. As for Kyra, she appears to be interested in fashion, having interned for brands like Dior.

But what about his third wife, Cheryl Hines? Does he share any children with her?

RFK Jr. is married to Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines, who was by his side during his official April 2023 announcement that he was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2024 election.

Although RFK Jr. and Cheryl don't have any children together, Cheryl has a daughter, Catherine Young, from a previous marriage. Catherine and her mom founded a cosmetic company in 2023, launching a self-care line called Hines+Young with a mission "to make luxury effortless and eco-friendly," according to the company's website.

Now, you're probably wondering: Is Catherine close to her stepfather? She was not present at RFK Jr.'s official campaign announcement.

RFK was joined by several of his children during the campaign announcement, including Kyra, Finn, and Aiden. Per The Daily Mail, the presidential hopeful poked fun at the fact that he didn't have his entire family's support, saying, "There are other members of my family who are not here today ... I know most American families — they never have any differences with each other."

It's not clear if Catherine supports RFK Jr.'s controversial views or not.
