Tatiana Kennedy-Schlossberg, historian and journalist, dies at 35 after leukemia battle

Tatiana Kennedy-Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, has died at the age of 35. A journalist and historian, she was known for her academic achievements and her battle with leukemia, which she faced with the support of her family and husband.

Tatiana was diagnosed with leukemia in May 2024. She underwent chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, spending much of her final year in and out of hospital. Despite her illness, she participated in a clinical trial for CAR-T-cell therapy, though doctors later told her she had only a year to live.

Throughout her treatment, her brother Jack Schlossberg stood by her side. In a show of solidarity, he shaved his head to support her during the difficult process. Tatiana often spoke of her gratitude for her husband, George Moran, whom she married in 2017 at the Kennedy family compound on Martha's Vineyard. Educated at Yale, Tatiana later earned a master's degree in United States history from the University of Oxford. She built a career in journalism while maintaining close ties to her family. In her final months, she expressed regret for the pain her illness caused, particularly to her mother, Caroline. After her death, Jack Schlossberg was seen leaving a New York City hospital and getting into a cab.

Tatiana's death leaves behind her husband, George Moran, as well as her parents and brother. Her academic work, journalism, and resilience during her illness were central to her life. No further details about her medical treatments or the institutions involved have been made public.
