Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, died Tuesday just over a month after revealing her terminal cancer diagnosis. She was 35.
Schlossberg announced in a Nov. 22 essay that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and given a year to live. She was first diagnosed in May 2024.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” several Kennedy family members wrote Tuesday in social media posts shared by the JFK Library Foundation.
Schlossberg was the daughter of the 35th president’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and Caroline’s husband, Edwin Schlossberg. She had two children of her own, a son and daughter, with her husband, George Moran.
In fact, it was after giving birth to her second child that Schlossberg was diagnosed with leukemia.
“I did not—could not—believe that they were talking about me,” she wrote in November 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.”
