Prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay awkward.

Kennedy Jr. serves as the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, opened up about the state of her and David’s friendship during an episode of Billy Bush’s “Hot Mics” talk show released Monday.
“I think that relationship changed a little, hasn’t it?” Bush asked Hines during their chat.
“I haven’t talked to him in a while,” the “RV” star, 60, admitted.

However, the comedian recalled how happy she was after landing a role on the hit HBO series in a segment of her new book, “Unscripted,” which releases Nov. 11.
“I mean, [David] loved you from the beginning,” Bush said while referencing her upcoming memoir. “You said, ‘This is the greatest audition and greatest moment of my life’ when you got this.”

But the “Along Came Polly” actress failed to finish her sentence before Bush interjected and brought up an essay David penned for the New York Times earlier this year titled “My Dinner With Adolf.”
The Post has reached out to David’s rep for comment.

Hines joined “Curb” when the popular comedy series debuted on HBO in 2000. She remained a member of the main cast for every season except Season 8, in which she only appeared in a guest role.
Back in 2022, Hines opened up about how David introduced her to Kennedy during a ski event fundraiser in 2004. The couple hit it off and went on to tie the knot in 2014.
“He introduced us, just because we were at the same event,” she said during Alec Baldwin’s “Here’s the Thing” podcast three years ago. “But then later Larry was like, ‘That’s a terrible idea. No, no, no. Don’t get involved.'”

But in 2023, when Kennedy, 71, was still running in the 2024 presidential election, David spoke out to clarify that he wasn’t “supporting” Hines’ husband for the White House.
“Yes love and support,” he told the New York Times that June, “but I’m not ‘supporting’ him.”
More recently, Hines butted heads with the co-hosts of “The View” while appearing on the ABC talk show to promote “Unscripted.”
She opened up about that experience as well during her chat with Bush for his talk show.

After claiming that the “View” panel just “wanted to grill” her about her husband, Hines lamented that she didn’t even have a chance to discuss her new memoir.
“I mean, I don’t think the ladies on ‘The View’ asked me one question about my book,” she continued. “But, you know, that’s okay.”
On Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that Hines’ Hollywood friends are shocked by her transformation from liberal to conservative “MAGA” views.
“It’s so hard to make sense in my head because she was so liberal before,” a pal reportedly told the outlet.
