Caroline Kennedy and her husband Ed Schlossberg turned their lives around for the widow and children of their late daughter Tatiana Schlossberg.
Kennedy and Ed’s son Jack told People on Thursday that the couple is “now taking on the role of new parents” after moving in with Tatiana’s husband, Dr. George Moran, and their two children, son Edwin, 4, and daughter Josephine, 2.
Tatiana passed away at the age of 35 in December 2025 after a battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
The journalist married Moran, a urologist, in 2017 after meeting at Yale University.
“They live with my niece and nephew and I look after them every day,” Jack, 33, continued. “They keep everything on track, but they also take care of their children seriously.”
Jack explained that “most people” don’t understand that Kennedy and Ed “are actually in the role of new parents now, and they all live in the same apartment.”
In addition to Tatiana and Jack, Kennedy, 68, and Ed, 80, are also parents to 37-year-old daughter Rose.
Jack told the outlet that his niece and nephew “make me laugh”, just as his late sister did.
In December, Tatiana’s loved ones announced her heartbreaking death.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the JFK Library Foundation wrote on Instagram on behalf of the family. “She will always be in our hearts.”
The message was signed: “George, Edwin, Josephine Moran Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory.”
In November, Tatiana bravely shared her diagnosis in an essay for The New Yorker.
The former president’s granddaughter wrote that she was first diagnosed in May 2024 and was given one year to live.
“I couldn’t believe they were talking about me,” Tatiana said in the emotional piece.
“I swam a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. In fact, I was one of the healthiest people I know.”
In her essay, Tatiana praised her partner for doing “the best he could” for her.
“He talked to all the doctors and insurance people I didn’t want to talk to and slept on the hospital floor,” she wrote.
Reflecting on the time she spent with her children, Tatyana added: “My son may have some memories, but he will probably begin to confuse them with the photos he has seen and the stories he has heard.”
As for her daughter, she said, “I don’t know who she really thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember me as her mother after I’m gone.”
Tatyana also noted how her family rallied around her during difficult times.
She wrote that her parents, Jack and Rose, were “nurturing” the children while she underwent treatment.
The next day, Jack responded to his sister’s essay on Instagram, writing: “Life is short, tear it apart” above two shots of a road and sky.
Tatiana’s cousin Maria Shriver also praised the young mother, writing on Instagram: “Tatiana is a beautiful writer, journalist, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend.”
In May, Kennedy broke his silence about his daughter’s death at the John F. Kennedy Courage Award ceremony.
“We’ve got a new addition to our family this year. We’re so happy to have Emma Shriver and Garrett and Mary Moran,” Caroline began, talking about her son-in-law’s parents.
She added through tears: “Most of all, we remember Tatiana. She served on the board of this library and represented everything her parents stood for in their beautiful, amazing, and all-too-short lives.”
