Caroline Kennedy broke her silence and cried when her daughter Tatiana Schlossberg passed away in December 2025.
On Sunday, in a speech at the John F. Kennedy Courage Award Ceremony, the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy gave a shoutout to Schlossberg’s parents-in-law, his widow George Moran.
“We have a new addition to the family this year. We’re so happy to have Emma Shriver and Garrett and Mary Moran,” Caroline, 68, said of George’s father and mother.
“Above all, we remember Tatiana, who served on the board of this library and represented everything that her parents stood for during her beautiful, amazing, and all-too-short life,” she added, appearing to catch her breath.
Mr. Schlossberg passed away on December 30, 2025 at the age of 35.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the JFK Library Foundation announced on Instagram at the time on behalf of Schlossberg’s relatives.
“She will always be in our hearts,” they added.
The journalist’s death came a month after she publicly announced her battle with acute myeloid leukemia, with doctors saying she had been given a year to live.
Schlossberg, who has son Edwin, 4, and daughter Josephine, 2, with husband George, explained that doctors discovered the disease after giving birth to her second child in May 2024.
On January 5, friends and family of the former New York Times science and climate correspondent attended her private funeral at St. Ignatius Loyola Church on New York City’s Upper East Side.
Attendees included former President Joe Biden, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, David Letterman, and designer Carolina Herrera.
A source told People magazine that Caroline, 68, plans to do everything in her power to make sure her grandchildren remember her late mother.
“Caroline needs to do what her mother (Jacqueline ‘Jackie’ Kennedy Onassis) did for her and (her brother) John and raise her children to remember their mother. And she has that example,” a source told the outlet in January.
