Tatiana Schlossberg, an environmental journalist and author, passed away this morning at the age of 35.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” reads a statement shared by her family via the JFK Library Foundation Instagram account.
Born and raised in New York City, Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and the granddaughter of Jackie and John F. Kennedy, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2023.
She revealed her cancer diagnosis in a powerful essay for the New Yorker in November 2025. “My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” she wrote. “They have 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. 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. 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.”
Schlossberg, a graduate of Yale University and the University of Oxford, was an environmental journalist. She was a climate and science reporter for the New York Times, and in 2019, published the book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.
She is survived by her husband, George Moran, her two children, her parents Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, and her siblings Jack Schlossberg and Rose Schlossberg.
