Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, has passed away at the age of 35 due to blood cancer. Her tragic death comes just six weeks after she publicly disclosed her diagnosis.

The announcement of Schlossberg’s passing was made on Tuesday through the JFK Library Foundation’s social media platforms, expressing the deep sorrow of her grieving family.

“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the heartfelt message read, signed by her family members, including George, Edwin, and Josephine Moran, as well as Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose, and Rory.

Born in New York, Schlossberg shared in November that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024. Despite the diagnosis, she had been taken by surprise, as she described herself in the New Yorker as having no symptoms and being “one of the healthiest people I knew.”

Writing in the New Yorker, the environmental journalist said she had no symptoms and was ‘one of the healthiest people I knew’ when the shock diagnosis came. 

Doctors only found the disease through routine blood tests after she gave birth to her second child. 

She was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, whose parents were John F Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, and designer Edwin Schlossberg.

Schlossberg is survived by her husband, physician George Moran, and their two children, Edwin, three, and Josephine, one.

Writing in the New Yorker about her diagnosis, Schlossberg said that ‘could not believe ‘ the doctors were talking about her when they said she would need chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. 

‘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,’ she wrote. 

Schlossberg said her parents and her siblings, Rose and Jack, supported her through months of grueling medical treatments. 

‘[My family has] held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day,’ she wrote. 

She also addressed the so-called ‘Kennedy curse’ in her essay, saying that she did not want to add ‘a new tragedy’ to her mother Caroline’s life. 

Caroline was five years old when her father was assassinated, and she lost her only living sibling, John F. Kennedy Jr., in a plane crash. 

‘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,’ Schlossberg wrote. 

‘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.’
