Environmental journalist Tatiana Schlossberg revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis in November 2025. Tatiana - who is the granddaughter of late president John F. Kennedy and former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - confirmed in an essay published by The New Yorker that she was battling acute myeloid leukemia and was given a year to live by doctors. She learned that she has a "rare mutation called Inversion 3" that could not be "cured by a standard course" of treatment shortly after welcoming her daughter in May 2024. (Tatiana and her husband, George Moran, also share a son, Edwin Garrett Moran, who was born in 2022.) "I did not - could not - believe that they were talking about me. I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn't sick. I didn't feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew," Tatiana wrote in The New Yorker. "I had a son whom I loved more than anything and a newborn I needed to take care of."

George Moran Tatiana Schlossberg met her future husband, George Moran, while they were both undergraduates at Yale University. Moran became a doctor at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, while Schlossberg worked for The New York Times, Vanity Fair and The Washington Post as an environmental reporter. The New York Times reported in September 2017 that the couple had tied the knot at the Kennedy family home in Martha's Vineyard in a ceremony officiated by former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. Tatiana's younger brother, Jack Schlossberg, announced on NBC's Today in 2022 that his sister and her husband had welcomed their first baby, a son named Edwin Moran. "I can't get away from them," Jack said of his sister and his newborn nephew. "I love them." Tatiana and George welcomed their youngest child, a daughter, in 2024. They have chosen to keep her name private. Following her terminal cancer diagnosis, Tatiana credited George for his immense support following her cancer diagnosis. "George did everything for me that he possibly could. He talked to all the doctors and insurance people that I didn't want to talk to; he slept on the floor of the hospital; he didn't get mad when I was raging on steroids and yelled at him that I did not like Schweppes ginger ale, only Canada Dry. He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner," she recalled in the New Yorker. Tatiana added, "I know that not everyone can be married to a doctor, but, if you can, it's a very good idea. He is perfect, and I feel so cheated and so sad that I don't get to keep living the wonderful life I had with this kind, funny, handsome genius I managed to find." Edwin Moran Tatiana's younger brother, Jack, announced that he'd become an uncle during a 2022 interview on NBC's Today. "[Tatiana's son's] name is Edwin but I like to call him Jack," the Kennedy heir teased. In her New Yorker essay, Tatiana recalled that Edwin's visits to the hospital were rare bright spots as she received cancer treatment. "My son came to visit almost every day. ... The nurses brought me warm blankets and let me sit on the floor of the skyway with my son, even though I wasn't supposed to leave my room," she recalled. Tatiana reflected on a bonding experience with her son as her hair began to fall out during treatment. "My hair started to fall out and I wore scarves to cover my head, remembering, vainly, each time I tied one on, how great my hair used to be; when my son came to visit, he wore them, too," she said. Daughter Tatiana and George welcomed their daughter - whose name they have chosen to keep private - in May 2024. After giving birth, Tatiana spent five weeks at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital and was transferred to Memorial Sloan Kettering to undergo a bone-marrow transplant. She later underwent chemotherapy at home. She wrote in her New Yorker essay that one of her biggest fears after receiving a terminal diagnosis was that her newborn daughter wouldn't remember her. "My son might have a few memories, but he'll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears," she wrote. "I didn't ever really get to take care of my daughter - I couldn't change her diaper or give her a bath or feed her, all because of the risk of infection after my transplants. I was gone for almost half of her first year of life. I don't know who, really, she thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember, when I am gone, that I am her mother." John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Tatiana is the granddaughter of late President John F. Kennedy and former first lady Jackie Kennedy. The Kennedys shared daughter Caroline Kennedy and son John F. Kennedy Jr. (They also lost two children, daughter Arabella and son Patrick.) President Kennedy was killed at age 46 in a fatal shooting on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Jackie later marri
