John F. Kennedy’s legacy remains one of the most enduring in American political history, carried forward not just by his work as the 35th U.S. President, but also through the lives of his daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and her family.
Caroline, the only surviving child of JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, has three remarkable children with her husband, Edwin Schlossberg: Rose, 36, Tatiana, 34, and Jack, 32. This next generation of Kennedys balances the weight of their family’s legacy with their own diverse ambitions and accomplishments. Recently, the family added a new chapter to their storied history with the birth of Caroline’s first grandchild in April 2022.
Caroline Kennedy’s Kids, Rose, Tatiana, and Jack Are Defining Their Own Paths

Caroline’s eldest child, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, was born on June 25, 1988, and was named after her great-grandmother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Rose has always drawn attention for her striking resemblance to her grandmother, Jackie Kennedy, affectionately known to her as “Grand Jackie.”
After growing up in New York City and attending the prestigious Brearley School, Rose graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a degree in English. She then went on to earn a master’s degree in interactive telecommunications from New York University in 2012.
While Rose did not follow her family’s tradition of politics, she pursued creative endeavors instead. In 2016, she co-created a comedic web series titled End Times Girls Club with her friend Mara Nelson-Greenberg. This six-episode project humorously explored themes of female empowerment in apocalyptic scenarios. Rose also displayed her political interest by supporting Democratic campaigns, such as Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential run.

These days, she resides in California with her wife, Rory McAuliffe, a restaurateur, and reportedly helps at her spouse’s restaurant. Though she keeps a low profile, her creative projects and subtle nods to her political heritage reflect a nuanced approach to her family’s storied past.
Next in the lineage is Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg, born on May 5, 1990. Like Rose, Tatiana attended the Brearley School in New York City before graduating from Yale in 2012. Her academic path was deeply influenced by her family’s legacy, with a focus on history. She further pursued this passion at the University of Oxford, earning a master’s degree in American history in 2014.
Tatiana carved a niche for herself in journalism, specializing in climate change and environmental reporting. Her work has appeared in high-profile publications like The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Bloomberg View. In 2019, she authored Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have, which highlighted the hidden ways daily habits contribute to environmental challenges.

Married to George Moran, a Yale sweetheart, Tatiana celebrated a new milestone in her life with the birth of her first child in April 2022. The baby boy, named Edwin after her father, has brought a new sense of joy to the Kennedy family. Tatiana’s environmental advocacy and commitment to history reflect a connection to the public service values instilled in her by her parents and grandparents.
The youngest of Caroline’s children, John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, born on January 19, 1993, is often noted for his striking resemblance to his uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr. Jack has embraced his family’s penchant for public service, albeit on his own terms. A graduate of Yale University, where he studied history with a focus on Japan, Jack demonstrated an early interest in activism and environmentalism. While still in middle school, he founded ReLightNY, a nonprofit dedicated to providing energy-efficient light bulbs to low-income families in New York City.
Jack has pursued extensive academic and professional development. He studied law and business at Harvard in a joint J.D.-MBA program, graduating in 2022. Unlike his sisters, Jack has shown a more explicit interest in politics. He interned as a Senate page during high school and has served on the selection committee for the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards.

During his public appearances, including speeches at the JFK Library Foundation, Jack has hinted at his aspirations to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather. A family insider noted that Jack’s public service efforts might one day translate into a political career.
Caroline’s parenting philosophy, inspired by her own upbringing under Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, emphasized privacy, independence, and passion-driven pursuits. Despite the Kennedys’ prominent public profile, Caroline and Edwin strove to shield their children from media attention during their formative years, echoing Jackie’s efforts to protect Caroline and John Jr. This approach allowed Rose, Tatiana, and Jack to forge their unique paths while carrying forward the spirit of their family’s enduring legacy.
Most recently, Caroline’s family welcomed the next generation with the arrival of Baby Edwin, born to Tatiana and her husband, George Moran, in April 2022. Seen in Manhattan soon after his birth, the baby boy represents not only the continuation of a historic lineage but also the fresh beginnings of a family determined to contribute meaningfully to the world in its own ways.
