Tatiana Schlossberg, the middle child of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, was a wife and a mother before her death on Dec. 30. She was 35 years old.

The journalist died after previously announcing that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in an essay published by The New Yorker in November 2025. In the essay, Schlossberg explained that she was diagnosed with the disease after she welcomed her second child, a daughter.

Schlossberg had been married to her husband, Dr. George Moran, since 2017. The couple met while attending Yale University together and went on to welcome two children together, son Edwin and daughter Josephine.

Although Schlossberg kept much of her personal life private, she shared how both her husband and her children supported her and stood by her throughout her cancer journey.

Here’s everything to know about Tatiana Schlossberg’s family, including her husband, George Moran, and their two children.

Dr. George Moran, who grew up in Greenwich, Conn., is an attending urologist and assistant professor of urology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, according to his Columbia University biography.

He studied medicine at Columbia University and later completed his residency in urology at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Moran specializes in benign prostatic hyperplasia, male voiding dysfunction and prostate cancer screening and diagnosis. In addition to his work as an attending doctor, Moran is also an assistant professor and researcher who has been published in the American Journal of Surgery.

Moran and Schlossberg met while attending Yale together in the late 2000s. Moran rowed crew all four years at the prestigious school, while Schlossberg studied history.

The couple tied the knot in September 2017, around five years after Schlossberg graduated. They exchanged vows in front of family and friends at Schlossberg’s family estate on Martha’s Vineyard.

At the time of their nuptials, the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum Foundation shared two photos of the couple on their wedding day.

“Congratulations to President Kennedy’s granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, and George Moran who were married over the weekend,” the post read.

Schlossberg wore a gown with a lace embroidered neckline, while Moran sported a classic black suit.

Schlossberg and Moran became parents in 2022 when they welcomed a son, Edwin, per Town and Country. Although they kept the news of his birth private for several months, her brother, Jack Schlossberg, eventually confirmed that he was a proud uncle to his first nephew.

“I can’t get away from him. I love him,” Jack said during an April 2022 appearance on Today.

The couple welcomed their second child, Josephine, on May 25, 2024, at Columbia-Presbyterian hospital in New York City.

“My husband, George, and I held her and stared at her and admired her newness,” she wrote in The New Yorker essay.

Shortly after Schlossberg met her daughter for the first time, her doctors noticed that she had an abnormal white blood cell count. They subsequently ran several tests and diagnosed her with acute myeloid leukemia.

Before she had the chance to bask in newborn joy, she was being whisked away to figure out the best course of action for her treatment, she wrote in her essay for The New Yorker.

“My parents, Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, had brought my two-year-old son to the hospital to meet his sister, but suddenly I was being moved to another floor,” she wrote. “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.”

Doctors informed her that she’d need to undergo chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

“I did not — could not — believe that they were talking about me,” she wrote. “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.”

Her husband and children supported her throughout her cancer diagnosis

Over the next year-and-a-half, Schlossberg received constant support from her parents, her older sister Rose — who donated her stem cells — and her younger brother, Jack, as well as her husband and children.

“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” she wrote in her essay. “They have 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.”

In addition to the support of her parents and siblings, Schlossberg heavily relied on Moran, who used his knowledge and connections at Columbia University to determine the best treatment.

“George did everything for me that he possibly could,” she shared. “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 explained that Moran would bring their children around when he was allowed, and he and the kids moved to her parents’ home to be closer to her.

“He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner,” she wrote. “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.”

As Schlossberg’s cancer progressed, she wrote that she was focusing on “being in the present” with her husband and their kids. She shared that she reminded her son that she was a climate journalist, “so that he will know that I was not just a sick person.”

“When I look at him, I try to fill my brain with memories,” she said, while later adding, “I think about the first time I came home from the hospital. He walked into my bathroom, looked at me, and said, ‘It’s so nice to meet you in here.’ “

Meanwhile, she described her daughter as a boisterous girl with “curly red hair like a flame” who enjoys wearing a “string of fake pearls around her neck.”

In the last weeks of her life, Schlossberg wrote she tried to “live and be with them now.”
