In the long arc of American political royalty, the Kennedy family has always lived in the bright, unforgiving glare of public attention. But Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy and daughter of Caroline Kennedy, carved out something quieter and far more intimate. She built a life around love, family, journalism, and purpose. At the center of that life stood her husband, Dr. George Moran, the man who shared her everyday world long before the headlines ever found them.
Their story is not one of flash or celebrity. It is a story of two curious Yale students, a marriage grounded in commitment, and a partnership tested by unimaginable loss. And through it all, George Moran remained a steady, deeply human presence.

Tatiana Schlossberg and George Moran met in the late 2000s while attending Yale University. Schlossberg studied history, a fitting discipline for someone born into one of the most storied families in America. Moran, meanwhile, was out on the water. He rowed crew all four years at Yale, a sport that demands grit, teamwork, and a stubborn refusal to quit. Those traits would later define him far beyond the boathouse.
They dated quietly and steadily. Five years after Schlossberg graduated, the pair took their next step.
A Kennedy Wedding on Martha’s Vineyard
On September 9, 2017, Tatiana Schlossberg married George Moran at her family’s estate on Martha’s Vineyard, a place soaked in Kennedy history. It was a classic New England wedding with personal warmth layered over political legacy.

Schlossberg wore a gown with a lace embroidered neckline. Moran wore a timeless black suit. It was elegant, but never showy. Exactly their style.
Who Is George Moran?
Dr. George Moran is not just Tatiana Schlossberg’s husband. He is an accomplished physician in his own right. Moran grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and went on to attend Yale before enrolling at Columbia University’s medical school. He later completed his residency in urology at New York-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where he now works as an attending urologist and assistant professor of urology.

In simpler terms, he helps men live longer, healthier, less painful lives. He is also a published researcher whose work has appeared in the American Journal of Surgery.
Becoming Parents
In 2022, Schlossberg and Moran welcomed their first child, a son named Edwin, honoring Tatiana’s father, Edwin Schlossberg. They kept the news mostly private, but her brother Jack Schlossberg eventually let it slip during a Today show appearance. “I can’t get away from him. I love him,” Jack said, proudly announcing his new role as uncle.

In her New Yorker essay, Schlossberg described the moment with simple, devastating beauty. “My husband, George, and I held her and stared at her and admired her newness.” That joy lasted only hours before the universe took a cruel turn.
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
Shortly after giving birth to Josephine, doctors noticed Schlossberg’s white blood cell count was abnormal. Tests followed. Then the words no one ever expects to hear—acute myeloid leukemia.
Schlossberg went from holding her newborn to being wheeled away for chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and experimental CAR T cell therapy.
In November 2025, she revealed that her leukemia had developed a rare mutation called Inversion 3, making it terminal. Doctors told her she had about one year to live. Through it all, George Moran was there. Not just as a doctor, but as a husband and a father holding together a family in free fall.

"My daughter was carried off to the nursery. My son didn’t want to leave; he wanted to drive my hospital bed like a bus. I said goodbye to him and my parents and was wheeled away," she wrote in the essay.
A Legacy of Quiet Strength
Tatiana Schlossberg passed away on December 30, 2025, at the age of 35. Her family announced her death through the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s Instagram account. The world lost a journalist, a Kennedy, and a powerful voice. George Moran lost his wife. Two small children lost their mother.
George Moran will always be known as Tatiana Schlossberg’s husband. But more than that, he is the man who loved her through everything.
