Tatiana Schlossberg , the granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, has disclosed she is facing terminal acute myeloid leukemia.

Schlossberg, a journalist who reported for The Record in North Jersey in the early 2010s, revealed the diagnosis in a first-person essay published Saturday, Nov. 22 in the New Yorker magazine.

Schlossberg, who covered North Jersey people, places and politics as a Record municipal reporter, wrote in the essay that doctors identified the cancer shortly after the birth of her second child in May 2024 when routine blood work showed irregularities in her white cell count. Physicians have told her she may have less than a year to live, she wrote.

In the essay, Schlossberg described how she handled the diagnosis with her family.
