The Kennedy family might be more discreet today than in times gone by but that hasn’t eliminated the fascination with America’s answer to the British Royal Family. The younger generation of Kennedys is hard to gather information about and one child in particular is often considered a bit of an enigma.
Rose Schlossberg, 35, is the eldest grandchild of John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, and the firstborn daughter of Caroline Kennedy and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg.
Rose is an older sister to Tatiana, 33, and Jack, 30, both of whom are a little more public than she is. Tatiana is now a journalist and author while Jack is a lawyer who isn’t afraid to speak up about his mother’s controversial cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As the children of JFK and Jackie’s only surviving child, these three are carrying on a pretty major legacy.
Born and raised in New York City, Rose has been moving in some pretty elite circles from a young age and is even friends with some well-known stars.
Rose is mostly known as this: being the spitting image of Jackie Kennedy — borderline looking like her doppelgänger. Seriously, they look like twins when you put photos side by side. It’s almost spooky. But there’s a lot more to Rose than how similar she looks to her late grandmother.
Despite staying out of the limelight the past few decades, she’s given fans some scraps of information about herself here and there. She might be the firstborn of JFK’s grandkids but arguably the most low-key of the bunch — which makes us want to know more.
From her acting gigs to her wife, check out everything we know about Jackie Kennedy’s lookalike granddaughter, Rose Schlossberg. (Here’s a hint: she’s pretty darn awesome.)

Rose Is an Actor & Filmmaker
Image Credit: Ron Sachs - CNP / MEGA Three years after graduate school, in 2016, Rose (who is pictured here beside her sister Tatiana) and Mara Nelson-Greenberg co-launched a mini-series on YouTube. Called the End Time Girls Club, the two created a comedy series based on a post-apocalyptic world. Schlossberg starred as one of the leads.
Schlossberg told Mashable that they created the web series in response to Hurricane Sandy: “I thought it would be interesting to create this world where girls have to be survivalists without compromising their cute factor.”
Along with End Time Girls Club, she’s dabbled in many film departments. She acted in the indie film Houses, produced the TV mini-series TIME: The Kalief Browder Story, and also edited, did camerawork, and was a production assistant at one point, per her IMDb page.
