Tatiana Schlossberg, Writer and Granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, Dies at 35

Tatiana Schlossberg, a celebrated writer and the granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, has died. She was 35.

Schlossberg’s family — which includes mother Caroline Kennedy and father Edwin Schlossberg — confirmed the news with an Instagram post on Tuesday, writing, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”

She previously disclosed her terminal cancer diagnosis in November in a poignant essay, titled “A Battle With My Blood,” for The New Yorker. In the piece, the mother of two opened up about learning that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, with a rare mutation called Inversion 3, after giving birth to her second child in May 2024.

In addition to detailing her difficult medical journey, Schlossberg used her platform to call out her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who she called an “embarrassment” to their storied family.

“Throughout my treatment, he had been on the national stage: previously a Democrat, he was running for President as an Independent, but mostly as an embarrassment to me and the rest of my immediate family,” she wrote at the time. “Suddenly, the health-care system on which I relied felt strained, shaky. Doctors and scientists at Columbia, including [husband George Moran], didn’t know if they would be able to continue their research, or even have jobs.”

More to come…
