"Environmental journalist Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, has died. She was 35. Schlossberg, the daughter of Kennedy's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and Edwin Schlossberg, revealed that she had terminal cancer in a November 2025 essay in The New Yorker. Her family issued a statement disclosing her death, which was released on social media by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation."
"Schlossberg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 at 34. After the birth of her second child, her doctor noticed her white blood cell count was high. It turned out to be acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation, mostly seen in older people. In the essay, A Battle With My Blood, Schlossberg recounted going through rounds of chemotherapy and two stem cell transplants and participating in clinical trials."
Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 after a high white blood cell count following the birth of her second child. Her leukemia had a rare mutation typically seen in older patients. She underwent rounds of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants and participated in clinical trials; doctors at one point said they could keep her alive for about a year. She disclosed in November 2025 that her cancer was terminal. She criticized policies by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing cuts to mRNA vaccine research. She covered climate change for The New York Times and won an environmental book award.
