John F. Kennedy’s Grandson Keeps Robe, Hat on Skeleton Model
Jack Schlossberg has an interesting yet perplexing place to store his late grandfather John F. Kennedy’s memorabilia.
During a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the 33-year-old politician revealed that he keeps a model of a skeleton in the corner of one room in his house.
“Well, I had a back injury and I had to, kind of, relearn how to walk and stand up straight,” Schlossberg explained. “At the time, I wanted to study and visualize posture and my bones.”
Schlossberg subsequently dressed the skeletal figure in “a hand-me-down” dressing robe and fedora that both once belonged to JFK.
“I realized, ‘Oh, my God, now I can ask him questions and we can talk,” he quipped, acknowledging that the former president seldom wore hats in public. “‘He killed the hat industry,’ so I’m making him wear it now.”
Jack is the son of Caroline Kennedy — JFK and wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ daughter — and Edwin Schlossberg. Caroline, 68, and Edwin, 80, are also parents of Rose, 37, and Tatiana, the latter who died in December 2025 at 35 after battling cancer. Tatiana is survived by her husband, George Moran, and their two young children.
“I can tell you that [Tatiana is] still rooting for us and the last thing she said to me was, ‘You better win,’” Jack said on CBS Sunday Mornings earlier this month, referring to his candidacy in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District. “No one knew me better and I knew no one better than her.”
Jack further joked that it was “brutal” living in Rose and Tatiana’s shadows growing up.

“They don’t let you get away with anything,” he quipped at the time. “My style was never good enough, I’ve never gotten an answer right in my entire life. But in all honesty, they’ve taught me everything I know about how to be a smart person and it’s also made me more conscientious and aware of my own privilege and position as a man in a world that often rewards certain type of behavior of certain people.”
JFK was assassinated at 46 while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas, in November 1963. He was immediately survived by wife Jackie, who died in 1994 at age 64, and kids Caroline and John F. Kennedy Jr., who was later killed in a 1999 plane crash alongside wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
Carole Radziwill defended the late John F. Kennedy Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg over his feud with American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy. The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 61, weighed in after Schlossberg, 32, raised objections over Murphy’s upcoming series American Love Story, which dramatizes JFK Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s courtship […]
JFK Jr. and Carolyn’s romance recently inspired Ryan Murphy’s new FX anthology series, Love Story, of which Jack has been critical.
“Well, if you want to know someone who’s never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy,” Jack said during his CBS sit-down. “I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that’s a capital F for fiction. [Murphy] knows nothing about what he’s talking about, and he’s making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else’s life.”
