Tatiana Schlossberg Dies at 35 After Battle With Rare Form of Leukemia

By Alexus Mosley

Tatiana Schlossberg, acclaimed environmental journalist, author, and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, has died at the age of 35 following a courageous battle with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia, her family announced on Tuesday.

The JFK Library Foundation shared a statement saying, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.” Schlossberg’s passing caps a deeply personal fight against a disease she first publicly revealed in November 2025.

Born in New York City in 1990 to Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, Schlossberg was a gifted journalist whose work spanned climate and environmental reporting. A graduate of Yale University and the University of Oxford, she served as a science and climate reporter for The New York Times and contributed to major outlets including The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, and Bloomberg News. Her 2019 book, Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have, won acclaim for its accessible, insightful look at human impact on the planet.

In her November essay for The New Yorker, Schlossberg wrote candidly about her leukemia diagnosis, which doctors discovered after the birth of her second child in 2024. She described the emotional and physical toll of treatment, and shared the profound challenge of confronting mortality while raising her young children.

“My kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me,” she wrote, reflecting on the heartbreaking reality she faced.

Beyond her reporting, Schlossberg was remembered by family and friends as a thoughtful writer, a devoted mother and wife, and a passionate voice for environmental awareness. She is survived by her husband, Dr. George Moran, and their two young children, as well as her parents, siblings, and extended family.

Her passing is a profound loss for her loved ones, and for the journalistic community she helped shape. She leaves behind a legacy defined by curiosity, clarity, and compassion.
