Tatiana Schlossberg

Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg was born on May 5, 1990, in New York City at New York Hospital to Edwin Schlossberg and Caroline Kennedy. She was a granddaughter of 35th U.S. president John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Schlossberg's father came from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ashkenazi descent from Ukraine, and her mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent. She was raised Catholic, though her mother would also "incorporate Hanukkah" in the family's holiday celebrations. Schlossberg attended the all-girls Brearley School with her sister Rose, and later the Trinity School, from which she graduated in 2008. She graduated from Yale College in 2012 with a BA degree in History. She received the Charles A. Ryskamp Travel Grant for a research project that "explored the communities that grew out of the relationship between runaway slaves and coastal New England Native American tribes, particularly on Martha's Vineyard in the nineteenth century". Schlossberg earned a Master of Studies degree in American history from Jesus College, Oxford in 2014. == Career ==

After her studies, Schlossberg interned at the Vineyard Gazette in Edgartown, Massachusetts, and later became a municipal reporter at The Record in Bergen County, New Jersey. In 2014, she became a summer intern at The New York Times, a 10-week program usually given to recent college graduates and a few undergrads. She was eventually hired as a reporter covering the Metro section. That same year, she wrote a story about a dead bear cub found in Central Park. In 2024, it was revealed that the cub had been placed there by her relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Responding to the disclosure, Schlossberg said, "Like law enforcement, I had no idea who was responsible for this when I wrote the story." Schlossberg worked as a science and climate reporter for the Times until she left the paper in 2017. In 2020, the book won first place in the Society of Environmental Journalists' Rachel Carson Environment Book Award. Schlossberg took part in presenting the annual Profile in Courage Award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, and accompanied her mother, Caroline Kennedy, during the latter's engagements as ambassador in Japan and Australia. == Personal life and death ==

On the 50th anniversary of the assassination of her grandfather John F. Kennedy, in 2013, Schlossberg delivered remarks and participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at his memorial at Runnymede in Surrey, which had been unveiled in 1965 by Queen Elizabeth II and Schlossberg's grandmother Jacqueline. On September 9, 2017, Schlossberg married physician George Moran at her family's estate on Martha's Vineyard. The two met as undergraduates at Yale. The couple had a son in 2022 and a daughter in 2024. Schlossberg died on December 30, 2025, at the age of 35. Her funeral was held on January 5, 2026, at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan, the same church where the funeral of her maternal grandmother, Jacqueline, had been held in 1994. == References ==
