Jack Schlossberg says he'll never process sister Tatiana's death: 'She was my best friend'

Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg, the son of President John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline, lost his older sister, Tatiana, in December.

Key Points

• Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, died of cancer. The environmental journalist was a mother of two.

• Political candidate Jack Schlossberg said Tatiana was his best friend.

While Jack Schlossberg is focused on winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, he can't stop thinking about his sister Tatiana's death.

"I don't think I'll ever process it," he toldVanity Fairin an interview published Friday. "The world will never be the same for me, not only since she passed away, but since she was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago."

Tatiana Schlossbergdied Dec. 30, after announcing in November 2025 that she had been diagnosed with cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, more than a year earlier. Doctors told her the prognosis was terminal.

"She was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences," Schlossberg, 33, said of losing one of his two sisters. "I miss her all the time. Every day I think about her."

Schlossberg has said previously that his sister had told him he "better win" in his campaign.

His grief has served as a motivation.

"It's made me all the more motivated, engaged, and focused on making the most out of my life, and I think that there's no higher calling than public service," the grandson of PresidentJohn F. Kennedysaid. "To me, I think politics is a noble profession, and one that I would be fantastic at serving this district as. So she wanted me to win, and I intend to honor her by doing just that."

The proximity of Schlossberg's loss has shown him, he said, that "it could have just as easily been me."

He feels an obligation to himself and his sister "to make the most out of my precious life and all that I’ve been given in this life to give back to others and make sure that we can fund cures for the type of cancer that took her life, and for other types of cancer."

During Tatiana's life, she worked as an environmental journalist at theNew York Times. She published the non-fiction bookInconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Didn't Know You Hadin 2019.

The emotional essay in which she disclosed her illness was published in theNew Yorker.

"Mostly, I try to live and be with them now," she wrote of her family, which included husband George Moran and their two children, Edwin and Josephine. "But being in the present is harder than it sounds, so I let the memories come and go. So many of them are from my childhood that I feel as if I'm watching myself and my kids grow up at the same time."

“Off Campus”' Mika Abdalla Breaks Down That 'Heated' Finale Cliffhanger and Teases Season 2 (Exclusive)

Warning: This story contains spoilers for the season 1 finale ofOff Campus.

NEED TO KNOW

• Season 1 of Off Campus leaves off with a major cliffhanger involving Allie (Mika Abdalla) and Dean (Stephen Kalyn)

• Abdalla breaks down what's to come for Allie after that twist and teases season 2 as she reveals she's received the first two scripts: "It's all very real"

• Off Campus is now streaming on Prime Video

There's a bit of a mess on Allie Hayes's hands at the end ofOff Campusseason 1.

After getting involved with Dean (Stephen Kalyn) — Allie and Dean are the subject of the third book inElle Kennedy's series,The Score, and season 1 of the Prime Video show adapted the first book,The Deal— after her breakup with Sean (Riley Davis), Allie started to panic about falling back into old patterns. In the hopes of slowing things down between her and Dean, she suggested they both sleep with other people, and then she slept with the mysterious Carter St. James (Charlie Evans), whom she'd previously kissed, after running into him on campus.

In the final moments of season 1, Carter walked into Malone's and a nightmare unfolded for Allie. Dean put the pieces together that she had slept with Carter, just after he revealed that he didn't want to see other people, and Carter St. James's true identity was revealed: he's actually Hunter Davenport, the protagonist of Kennedy'sThe Play, a book in herOff Campusspinoff series,Briar U.

"We were all surprised by it,"Mika Abdalla, who plays Allie, tells PEOPLE of the twist. "I think it's really great. "It's really fun to throw someone else into the mix for Allie, just fresh out of her relationship, freaking out about this relationship [with Dean]."

"It's nice to pump the brakes a little bit," Abdalla, 26, says. "I'm excited to see what goes on from there, because that's a pretty heated way to end the season."

She reveals the season was originally "supposed to end differently, and then we had to change that, for reasons that will be revealed later," and the Hunter twist was instead introduced.

Hunter's arrival in the series was "like the freaking nuclear codes," Abdalla says. "We needed to not talk about that. No one was allowed to know who that man was, which was hilarious." The cast was explicitly told not to "follow" Evans on social media or otherwise engage with him to avoid spoiling his arrival. "We weren't allowed to do a freaking thing with that man. They kept it locked up."

Showrunner Louisa Levy tells PEOPLE that the decision to bring Hunter into the fold "allowed us to tee up potential future seasons that we might be able to explore, and also tee up a little bit of Dean's backstory that we might be able to get into in future seasons as well."

As she points out, Hunter is a character that appears inThe Score,Dean and Allie's book, "just in a small way," so she and the writers found it a "fun opportunity" to "pull from the later books and use those characters to build out" the world on the college campus. "I have no idea how fans are going to react to it, but I'm very excited to see."

Off Campuswas renewed forseason 2before season 1 premiered, but Prime Video has not yet confirmed which couple it'll follow. On her character's behalf, Abdalla says she is "not excited" about the next installment, as she anticipates some major challenges for Allie. "I am excited about it as an actor," she says. "I am excited for the deep emotional turmoil that Allie is going through, because I think that'll be a lot of fun [to play], and that's not really something I got to play around with too, too much this season."

"I am excited to see the inner workings of her. It's really fun to play such a vibrant, larger-than-life character, who also has these extremely deep feelings about herself and the world around her. It's such a balance," Abdalla continues. "I'm excited to do the puzzle of Allie."

Abdalla has received scripts for the first two episodes of season 2, she confirms, which is "very exciting," and the cast returns to Vancouver to start filming shortly. "It's all very real," she says of the next installment.

Off Campusseason 1 is now streaming on Prime Video.

Jenner explained that while pregnant with Aire, there were times she couldn't leave her bed, "because I was in so much back pain and sciatica pain."

"And lots of things were happening with my vagina," she continued. "I was three centimeters dilated for like a month and a half, two months, the baby was falling out," she said, adding that her doctor instructed her to stay in bed.

She also recalled initially "freaking out" when she found out she was pregnant with Stormi at 19. "I was freaking out. I was really scared to tell my parents," she confessed. "I was really scared." She later said that once she told her parents, "no one was mad."

"But there was something just inside of me that knew that I wanted to do this, and I had to make a decision for myself," Jenner said. "And even if I have to do this alone, or however, this is the choice that I'm going to make."

She noted how after sheannouncedthe news, she "sobbed for three hours because it felt like so much weight on my shoulders."

"[It was] just a big thing that I was, hiding from the world. And I was worried about everyone's reactions," Jenner said. "It was just so emotional. And I'm like, 'Maybe next time I wouldn't do that.' "
