On Thursday, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed an unexpected collaboration with Education Secretary Linda McMahon to assist his niece, Zoe Hines, in landing a role as a WWE wrestler.
“Linda has become a very close friend, and my niece, Zoe Hines, recently signed a contract with WWE [World Wrestling Entertainment], thanks in part to Linda’s connections, to become a wrestler,” Kennedy mentioned during an event focused on nutrition education for aspiring doctors.
The head of the Department of Health and Human Services humorously added, “And I’m eagerly anticipating knowing many doctors who can patch her up afterward.”
Zoe, who previously played softball for Boston College, is the daughter of Rebecca Hines and Laurent Boye. Rebecca is the sibling of RFK Jr.’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines.
Last August, Zoe took to Instagram to announce her participation in a WWE tryout held in New Jersey.
“Grateful for the opportunity, the experience, and the people,” she expressed in her post. “Honored to represent WWE at the 2025 SummerSlam Tryout.”
McMahon co-founded the iconic wrestling promotion with her husband, Vince McMahon, in 1980.
She served as CEO of WWE until 2009.
McMahon isnât the only one with wrestling ties working in the Trump administration.
Paul Levesque â better known in the ring as Triple H â serves on the Presidentâs Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition.Â
Levesque, who is also the son-in-law of the education secretary, is working with Kennedy Jr., on restoring the Presidential Fitness Test for public school children that was phased out under the Obama administration.
The WWE, HHS and Education Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
