Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy, passed away in December 2025 at age 35 after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2024, shortly after giving birth to her second child.
She documented her illness in a New Yorker essay, revealing how a routine blood test during pregnancy led to her diagnosis and an aggressive form of leukemia. Despite treatment, including a bone-marrow transplant, she died after months of fighting the disease.
Months later, Caroline Kennedy broke her silence at the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards, becoming emotional as she honored her daughter’s life and praised her family. She described Tatiana as someone who embodied her grandparents’ values and expressed deep love and pride in her memory.
Family and friends continue to focus on preserving Tatiana’s legacy for her children, ensuring they remember her life and impact.
