John F. Kennedy’s Granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, Dies At 35
In November 2025, Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy, revealed that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 35.
Tatiana explained at the time that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia containing a rare genetic mutation known as Inversion 3 shortly after the birth of her daughter in May 2024.
She described the heartbreaking toll her diagnosis took on her motherhood journey, saying she “didn’t ever really get to take care of my daughter” due to the risk of infection.
“I was gone for almost half of her first year of life. I don’t know who, really, she thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember, when I am gone, that I am her mother,” Tatiana recalled.

Tatiana’s Extraordinary Life
Following her courageous fight, Tatiana died on December 30. She was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, and the eldest surviving granddaughter of JFK.
Receiving the diagnosis was a shock to the 35 year old, as she described herself as “one of the healthiest people” she knew. Tatiana reflected on what her death would do to her small children.
“During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe. My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me,” she wrote.
Tatiana, a Yale graduate who also held a master’s degree from Oxford, worked as a journalist for The New York Times and published her first book in 2019.
She was married to her husband, George Moran, whom she shared two children – ages 3 and 18 months. Tatiana praised her family for all of their support in the time leading up to her death.
“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half. They have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it,” Tatiana said.
