BREAKING: Tatiana Schlossberg, the beloved granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy, has tragically passed away at the age of 35 due to terminal cancer. The news comes just over a month after she revealed her diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia in a heartfelt essay published on November 22, 2023.
Schlossberg, who announced she had only been given a year to live, died early Tuesday morning. In a poignant statement shared by family members on social media, including the JFK Library Foundation, they expressed their grief: “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Just a day before her passing, Schlossberg had shared an emotional reflection on her unexpected health battle, which began shortly after the birth of her second child. “I did not—could not—believe that they were talking about me,” she wrote in her essay for the New Yorker. “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.”
Tatiana was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, JFK’s only surviving child, and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg. She is survived by her husband, George Moran, and their two young children—a son and a daughter.
This devastating loss has sent shockwaves through the Kennedy family and beyond, highlighting the cruel reality of cancer that affects many families worldwide. Schlossberg had become an inspiring figure, known for her resilience and commitment to her family.
