BREAKING: JFK’s Granddaughter Dead At 35

Tatiana Schlossberg — an environmental journalist, author, and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy — has died at the age of 35 following a battle with acute myeloid leukemia.

Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, was known for her work as a climate and environmental reporter for major publications. She leaves behind her husband, George Moran, and two young children.

“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the JFK Library Foundation announced on Tuesday.

Her illness became public just six weeks ago, when she penned an emotional essay in The New Yorker in November describing her diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia, a fast-moving blood cancer identified shortly after the birth of her second child. The cancer included a rare mutation known as Inversion 3, associated with aggressive relapse.

In her essay, Schlossberg detailed the intense treatment regimen — multiple rounds of chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and clinical trial participation — and wrote candidly about confronting mortality as a young mother.

Schlossberg revealed how a shocking diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia upended her life shortly after giving birth to her daughter in May 2024. Initially healthy and active — even swimming a mile the day before she delivered — she suddenly faced the reality of a rare and aggressive cancer mutation that typically appears in much older patients.

“I did not — could not — believe that they were talking about me,” Schlossberg wrote of her diagnosis. “I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew.”

Schlossberg also recounted the whirlwind of emergency treatments: months in the hospital, intense chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants — one donated by her sister — and multiple clinical trials.

“During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe,” Schlossberg added. “My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”

The essay centers on love and loss: love for her husband, who did everything to care for her, and fear that her children, especially her infant daughter, might not remember her. She reflects on memories flooding back as time feels shorter, and on the helpless guilt of adding a new tragedy to her family.

Schlossberg’s death marks another tragedy for America’s most famous political dynasty — a family still revered decades after JFK’s presidency but no stranger to heartbreak.
