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

Caroline Kennedy’s children — Rose, Tatiana and Jack Schlossberg — have carried on the late President John F. Kennedy’s legacy in their own way.

After getting married in 1986, Caroline and her husband, artist and designer Edwin Schlossberg, became parents when they welcomed their first child, Rose, in 1988. Their family expanded when Tatiana was born in 1990, followed by Jack in 1993. As they grew up, Caroline managed to keep her three children out of the public eye — an effort her parents, JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, also made under very different circumstances. Although Caroline and her brother, John, spent their early years in the White House, their mother tried to offset the intense media focus that followed them once they moved to New York City.

In a 2014 video shared by The Washington Post for Mother’s Day, Caroline shared that she has made an effort to instill the values she learned from her parents into her own family.

“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.

Although Caroline’s three children pursued their own interests without the pressures of public life, they’ve continued to carry on the family’s legacy in their own way. On Nov. 11, Jack announced that he is running for Congress. If elected, he would be following in the footsteps of his grandfather, whose political career began in the U.S. House before he entered the White House.

Less than two weeks into Jack’s campaign, Tatiana announced in an essay published by The New Yorker that she has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Jack showed his support by sharing screenshot’s of the emotional essay on his Instagram Stories.

Here’s everything to know about Caroline Kennedy’s children: Rose, Tatiana and Jack Schlossberg.

Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, 37

Rose Kennedy Schlossberg — who was named after her great-grandmother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy — was born in New York City on June 25, 1988. She bears a remarkable resemblance to her late grandmother and has been famously called a Jackie lookalike.

Despite her high-profile family, Rose’s adolescence was private. She attended the Brearley School, an all-girls private school in N.Y.C., and later attended Harvard University. There, she kept a low profile — although she once made headlines after she reportedly gave Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson a campus tour, according to the Boston Herald. Rose graduated in 2010 with a degree in English.

Following graduation, Rose continued her education at New York University and received a master’s degree in interactive telecommunications. Meanwhile, she worked as a production associate on several projects, including the TV series Brick City and the movie Hard Times: Lost on Long Island.

In 2016, Rose launched a comedic web series called End Times Girls Club alongside her close friend Mara Nelson-Greenberg. Originally conceived as Rose’s graduate thesis, the six-episode series featured two women sharing their “ultimate guide to apocalypse survival” — from a makeover using “apocalypse trash” to learning to make a compass.

“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,” Rose told Mashable. “I thought it would be interesting to create this world where girls have to be survivalists without compromising their cute factor.”

Since then, Rose has worked on various film and media projects, including a series of collaborations with Dover Street Market. In one video, which she starred in and directed, Rose showcased the importance of voting ahead of the 2020 election. She also co-produced and co-wrote Time: The Kalief Browder Story, a six-part docuseries for Spike TV. In 2022, she released her short film Small Gay Tragedy #1.

Rose lives in California and reportedly wed her longtime girlfriend, restaurateur Rory McAuliffe, in May 2022.

Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg, 35

Caroline and Edwin welcomed their second child, Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg, on May 5, 1990, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in N.Y.C. Growing up, she attended the Brearley School and the Trinity School, from which she graduated in 2008.

Tatiana went to Yale University, where she served as editor-in-chief of the Yale Herald. After graduating in 2012, she began writing for The Record in New Jersey. She later received her master’s degree in United States history from the University of Oxford in England.

“My grandparents, both of them, from what I understand, because I didn’t really know them, loved history and reading about history,” she told Vanity Fair in 2019 of her family’s interest in writing and public service. “And that’s kind of how I’ve connected with them, by studying them and their time, but also the eras and patterns that fascinated them, and imagining where we would disagree. That’s an important way for me personally to connect with my family legacy.”

After graduating in 2014, she secured an internship at The New York Times, later writing for its Metro section and the New York Today column before moving to the Science section to cover climate and the environment. Her work has also appeared in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, The Boston Globe and Bloomberg. According to her website, she is currently a freelance reporter.

In 2019, she began her newsletter, News from a Changing Planet, which includes articles and essays about climate change and other environmental topics. That same year, she published her book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.

Tatiana lives in N.Y.C. with her husband, George Moran. The couple met when they were both students at Yale and tied the knot in a private ceremony at Tatiana’s family estate on Martha’s Vineyard in 2017.

In 2022, Tatiana’s younger brother, Jack, shared that she and Moran had welcomed their first child and named him after their father.

“I have a new nephew,” he said on the Today show. “It’s a boy. His name is Edwin but I like to call him Jack.”

Tatiana went on to welcome a daughter in May 2024. Shortly after, her doctor noticed an imbalance in her white blood cell count that ultimately led to her being diagnosed with “a rare mutation called Inversion 3,” as she shared in an essay for The New Yorker in November 2025.

She received a bone-marrow transplant, underwent chemotherapy at home and joined a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy against certain blood cancer. However, she was eventually told by her doctor that she had a year left to live.

“For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,” she wrote in the essay. “Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, 32

On Jan. 19, 1993, Caroline and Edwin welcomed their third child, John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg. He was named after his grandfather, JFK, and his maternal great-grandfather, John Vernou “Black Jack” Bouvier.

Growing up, Jack attended the prestigious all-boys Collegiate School in N.Y.C. He graduated as high school valedictorian in 2011 and delivered the commencement speech.

Jack followed in Tatiana’s footsteps and enrolled at Yale University, where he studied history with a focus on Japan. In addition to writing for several Yale publications, he spent a summer working at a toxic waste removal company as an environmental technician, cleaning up hazardous waste, oil tanks and spills in Massachusetts and volunteered as an emergency medical technician.

After Jack graduated from Yale in 2015, he moved to Japan, where his mother was serving as U.S. ambassador. When he returned from Japan, Jack continued his education at Harvard Law School and Business School, where he pursued two degrees in the joint J.D.-M.B.A. program.

In early 2022, he graduated from Harvard, and in April 2023, he learned that he had passed the New York state bar exam on the first try, later telling PEOPLE that the accomplishment “feels great” (his lookalike uncle JFK Jr. famously failed the same exam twice but passed on the third try).

Out of all his siblings, Jack has been the most public. During his freshman year at Yale, he wrote a letter to the editor of The New York Times to address his late grandfather’s legacy. In high school, he also followed in his mother’s footsteps as a Senate page and intern for Sen. John Kerry.

Jack has also taken a public role with the JFK Library Foundation’s annual Profile in Courage Award, which celebrates “political heroes who put country first.” In addition to being part of the selection committee, he has also hosted the event on several occasions. During his first television appearance in 2017, he spoke with the Today show about the ceremony and alluded to his potential future in politics.

“I’m inspired by my family’s legacy of public service. It’s something that I’m very proud of,” he shared. “But I’m still trying to make my own way and figure things out. So stay tuned — I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

Since then, Jack has been involved in his family’s political and philanthropic causes, and has been outspoken about his political beliefs in several publications and posts online.

In 2023, Jack made headlines when he criticized his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential candidacy. In an Instagram video, the youngest Schlossberg said that Robert was “trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame.”

He added: “I’ve listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president. What I do know is, his candidacy is an embarrassment. Let’s not be distracted, again, by somebody’s vanity project.”

The following year, he told Town & Country that he still had “no immediate plans” to run for office. However, Jack announced his congressional campaign in an email to supporters in November 2025.
