Mary Courtney Kennedy Hill (known as Courtney) was born on September 9, 1956, in Boston, Massachusetts. She is the fifth child of eleven children of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy.
It was through her work at the Children's Television Workshop that she met ABC sports producer Jeffrey Robert Ruhe (b. 1952), son of Robert Ruhe and Elva Buckingham. The couple married on June 14, 1980, in Washington, D.C.. They were divorced in 1990.
She then married Paul Michael Hill (b. August 13, 1954)[1] on June 26, 1993, on a boat in the Aegean Sea. Hill is an Irishman who was wrongly imprisoned for fifteen years for IRA activity. Hill was one of the Guildford Four who were wrongly convicted of bombing two pubs outside of London. (The film In the Name of the Father (1993) was based on this case.) Reportedly, the two were introduced by her mother.
They have one child, a daughter named Saoirse Roisin Hill (born 1997 in Washington D.C.). The couple lived in Ireland from 2002 to 2006. In February 2006, they legally separated.[2] Hill currently lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
Kennedy Hill is formerly a representative for the United Nations AIDS Foundation.
