Just hours after the tragic loss of his sister to leukemia, Jack Schlossberg, a member of the Kennedy family, was seen stepping into a taxi, clutching a bag. The 32-year-old, who has political aspirations, appeared composed yet somber as he left his sister Tatiana’s upscale Park Avenue residence. Dressed in a black puffer jacket, he carried both a reusable shopping bag and a backpack.

Earlier, Schlossberg was observed entering the building with his nephew’s stroller, a moment documented by the New York Post. The publication noted his weary and swollen eyes, a reflection of the profound grief enveloping the family.

The Kennedy-Schlossberg clan had announced earlier on that somber Tuesday the passing of Tatiana at just 35 years old. The heartfelt announcement read, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” signed by family members George, Edwin, and Josephine Moran, as well as Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose, and Rory.

He looked disheveled and puffy eyed at the time, the outlet reports.

The Kennedy-Schlossberg family had announced earlier on Tuesday that Tatiana died at the age of 35.

‘Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,’ the post reads, signed by ‘George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory’.

She and Jack are the children of Caroline Kennedy, whose parents were John F Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, and designer Edwin Schlossberg. 

Her death now marks the latest tragedy to befall Caroline, who lost her father to an assassin’s bullet when she was five years old, her only sibling, JFK Jr, in a plane crash years later, and her mother to lymphoma in 1994, when the iconic former first lady was just 64.

Tatiana had revealed her terminal diagnosis in a poignant essay for the New Yorker just last month.

Writing in the New Yorker, Tatiana said she had no symptoms and was ‘one of the healthiest people I knew’ when the shocking diagnosis came in May 2024, following a routine blood test.

When doctors then said she would need chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, Tatiana said she ‘could not believe’ what she was hearing. 

‘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,’ she wrote. 

Tatiana said her parents and her siblings, Rose and Jack, supported her through months of grueling medical treatments. 

‘[My family has] held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day,’ she wrote. 

By June, Jack had shaved his head in solidarity with his sister – leading to some backlash online, as her diagnosis was not yet public.

‘He wrestled with telling social media why he shaved his head because he was so castigated for it,’ a friend of Jack’s told Page Six.

‘Some of the haters were using it to say “Look. Look. He is crazy.” Despite all that, he refused to exactly say why he did it. It wasn’t his news to share. It was his sister’s.’

Tatiana also used her essay to praise her husband, George Moran, for his support throughout her treatment, writing: ‘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.’

She added: ‘He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner. 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.’

Tatiana studied at Yale for her undergraduate degree, where she met Moran, now an attending urologist at Columbia University.

She later earned a master’s degree in United States history from the University of Oxford and pursued a career as a journalist.

The couple married in 2017 at the Kennedy compound on Martha’s Vineyard, with former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick officiating the ceremony.

They lived in a $7.68 million apartment in New York City’s Upper East Side, but in Schlossberg’s New Yorker essay, she revealed she spent much of the last year of her life in and out of the hospital. 

Tatiana wrote in her essay that she spent five weeks at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital after giving birth, before she was transferred to Memorial Sloan Kettering for a bone-marrow transplant.

She then underwent grueling chemotherapy at home, and in January, she joined a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy against certain blood cancers.

But then, she found out she had just a year left to live.

‘For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry,’ she wrote.

‘Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.’
