All About Caroline Kennedy’s 3 Children, Rose, Tatiana and Jack

Caroline Kennedy’s children — Rose, Tatiana, and Jack Schlossberg — have each stepped into adulthood with their own paths, while still reflecting the public-service spirit tied to their family name.

Caroline married artist and designer Edwin Schlossberg in 1986. Their first child, Rose, arrived in 1988, followed by Tatiana in 1990 and Jack in 1993. Like her parents, John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Caroline worked hard to give her children a private upbringing, even with the Kennedy name drawing constant attention. The goal was to let them grow up as normally as possible, away from the glare that once surrounded Caroline and her late brother, John Kennedy Jr.

In a 2014 Mother’s Day video shared by The Washington Post, Caroline said she hoped to pass forward the same values she learned from her parents.

“I feel so fortunate to have had such great role models, and I hope that I have been able to pass some of the lessons they taught me on to my children,” she said.

Even with their low-key childhood, all three Schlossberg siblings have found ways to engage with culture, public life, and the issues they care about. In November 2025, Jack announced he is running for Congress — echoing his grandfather’s early political steps in the U.S. House. Soon after, Tatiana revealed in an essay for The New Yorker that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a moment Jack publicly supported by sharing her essay on social media.

Here’s a closer look at Caroline Kennedy’s children — Rose, Tatiana, and Jack Schlossberg.


Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, 37

Born June 25, 1988, in New York City, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg was named after her great-grandmother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. She’s often noted for her resemblance to her grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Rose grew up largely outside the spotlight. She attended the Brearley School in Manhattan before studying at Harvard University, where she earned a degree in English in 2010. After Harvard, she continued at New York University and completed a master’s in interactive telecommunications. Alongside her studies, she built experience in media production, working on projects such as the television series Brick City and the film Hard Times: Lost on Long Island.

In 2016, Rose co-created the comedic web series End Times Girls Club with her close friend Mara Nelson-Greenberg. The project began as her graduate thesis and followed two women offering a playful “apocalypse survival” guide — mixing humor with a pointed take on preparedness and self-reliance.

Rose has since worked across film and media, including collaborations with Dover Street Market. She also co-produced and co-wrote Time: The Kalief Browder Story, a six-part docuseries for Spike TV, and released a short film titled Small Gay Tragedy #1 in 2022.

She lives in California and reportedly married her longtime partner, restaurateur Rory McAuliffe, in May 2022.


Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg, 35

Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg was born May 5, 1990, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. She attended the Brearley School and the Trinity School, graduating in 2008.

She went on to Yale University, where she served as editor-in-chief of the Yale Herald, graduating in 2012. Her early reporting included work at The Record in New Jersey. She later earned a master’s degree in U.S. history from the University of Oxford.

Tatiana has built a career in journalism with a focus on climate and the environment. After interning at The New York Times, she became a reporter there, writing for the Metro desk and the New York Today column before moving to the Science section. Her writing has also been published by outlets including The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, The Boston Globe, and Bloomberg. She now works as a freelance reporter, according to her website.

In 2019, Tatiana launched her newsletter News from a Changing Planet, exploring climate change and environmental policy, and published her book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.

She lives in New York City with her husband, George Moran. The two met at Yale and married in a private Martha’s Vineyard ceremony in 2017. They share two children: a son born in 2022 (named Edwin, after Tatiana’s father) and a daughter born in May 2024.

Later in 2024, routine bloodwork revealed an imbalance in her white blood cell count. In a November 2025 essay for The New Yorker, Tatiana explained that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia tied to a rare mutation called Inversion 3. She described undergoing a bone-marrow transplant, chemotherapy at home, and a CAR-T cell therapy clinical trial. Eventually, she said, doctors told her the disease was terminal.


John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, 32

John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg was born Jan. 19, 1993. He was named for his grandfather John F. Kennedy and his maternal great-grandfather John Vernou “Black Jack” Bouvier.

Jack attended the all-boys Collegiate School in New York City, graduating as valedictorian in 2011. He then studied history at Yale University, with a focus on Japan. While at Yale, he wrote for student publications, worked as an environmental technician for a hazardous-waste cleanup company, and volunteered as an emergency medical technician.

After graduating in 2015, Jack spent time in Japan while Caroline served as U.S. ambassador there. Back in the U.S., he enrolled in Harvard’s joint J.D.–M.B.A. program, completing both law and business degrees in 2022. In 2023, he passed the New York state bar exam on his first attempt, later saying it was a milestone he felt proud of.

Among the three siblings, Jack has taken the most visible public role. He has long engaged with his grandfather’s legacy, writing about it as a student and working in Washington as a Senate page and intern. He also plays an active role with the JFK Library Foundation’s Profile in Courage Award, serving on its selection committee and hosting the ceremony multiple times.

Jack has publicly supported Democratic causes and weighed in on family political controversies. In 2023, he criticized his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, calling it a misuse of the Kennedy legacy. In 2024, he said he had no immediate plans to run for office — but in November 2025, he announced that he is officially campaigning for Congress.
