- Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of JFK and a climate journalist, has died at age 35.
- Schlossberg recently revealed her acute myeloid leukemia diagnosis in a New Yorker essay.
- “She will always be in our hearts,” her family wrote in a post on Instagram.
Tatiana Schlossberg, a granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy and a prominent climate activist and environmental journalist, died of cancer on December 30 at age 35, her family announced through a social media post.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the post, signed by her family and posted to Instagram, read. “She will always be in our hearts.”
Schlossberg, a mother of two young children, recently revealed in an essay for The New Yorker that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia shortly after her daughter’s birth in May 2024.
The middle child of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, Tatiana Schlossberg was a prominent advocate on climate issues. She was known for her book “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” and her work as a science and climate reporter for The New York Times until she left the paper in 2017.
She said in her essay that she was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer after doctors noticed her white blood cell count looked “strange.” Over the past year and a half, she received various cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, a bone-marrow transplant from her sister, and CAR-T immunotherapy.
She is survived by her husband, urologist Dr. George Moran, toddler son Edwin, and a 1-year-old daughter.
