President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while still in office at the age of 46. His wife, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died three decades later after a private battle with illness. Today, their family line continues through their only daughter and her children.
Born into one of America’s most closely watched families, President John F. Kennedy’s granddaughters have embraced their roles in the public eye. One has stepped into motherhood, while the other has gained attention for her unconventional career and strikingly familiar appearance.Their mother, Caroline Kennedy, is at the heart of their journey, and has dedicated herself to preserving the values passed down through generations. She has reflected on how her upbringing shaped her approach to motherhood, influenced by her mother’s private strength and public role.
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, born June 25, 1988, is the eldest child of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg. A Harvard graduate, Rose pursued a career in media and comedy, co-creating a satirical web series titled “End Times Girls Club.”
The series, produced with her friend Mara Nelson-Greenberg, was released through Above Average Productions, a division of Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video. Rose later explained that the idea for the series was inspired by the response to Hurricane Sandy and how unprepared some people, especially young women, seemed to be in emergencies.
“It came up as a response to seeing the way that New York responded to Hurricane Sandy, and how people were grossly underprepared — specifically, girls in damsel in distress mode,” she said. The show humorously presents survival tactics in a post-disaster world while maintaining a light, satirical tone.
In one episode, Rose’s character demonstrates how to create makeshift lipstick from melted candy and oil, explaining, “There are real benefits to looking good post-doomsday.” In addition to her work in comedy, Rose has drawn public attention for her resemblance to her grandmother, Jackie.
One netizen noted, “Rose Kennedy Schlossberg does look like her grandmother Jackie Kennedy.” Other viewers shared similar sentiments, posting, “As beautiful and talented as her gorgeous grandmother…,” “She has more Kennedy genes, that hair is definitely Kennedy,” “Pretty lady. I see the resemblance,” and “She is prettier than Jackie.”
On May 14, 2022, Rose married Rory McAuliffe. While Rose followed a path in creative arts, her younger sister Tatiana pursued a different route.
The second of Caroline’s three children, Tatiana Schlossberg, has built a career focused on environmental issues through journalism and authorship. She graduated from Yale University and later earned a master’s degree in United States history from the University of Oxford.
Tatiana worked as a reporter for The New York Times, covering climate change and environmental issues for the paper’s Science section. On September 9, 2017, 64 years after her grandparents had their lavish wedding ceremony, Tatiana married George Moran at the Kennedy family’s estate on Martha’s Vineyard.
She was the first of President Kennedy’s grandchildren to tie the know. The ceremony was officiated by Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts. Her husband, George, is a Yale graduate and a medical student at Columbia.
