The 2020 Democratic National Convention took place in August, and among the speakers that took part, including former president Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and more, was John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, John F Kennedy’s only grandson.
Jack and his mother Caroline Kennedy offered their support to presidential candidate Joe Biden.

In fact, Jack has been taking a stand regarding political issues and subjects before and has written against conservative politicians in The Washington Post, The New York Times and Time Magazine.
During his speech at the convention, Jack referenced his grandfather’s, the 35th President of the United States, remarks from the time he himself accepted the presidency nomination 60 years ago and said, “Times have changed, but the themes of my grandfather’s speech—courage, unity and patriotism—are as important today as they were in 1960.”
However, a bit more noticeable than people’s fascination with his political interest is his looks that many couldn’t help but comment on. As it turns out, Jack resembles his grandfather and his uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, a lot.
“Good looks really do run in the family then! What a gorgeous man. His granddad would be so proud I bet,” one person wrote.
“I just gasped. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg’s son looks remarkably like her late brother/his late uncle JFK, Jr. Wow,” another user tweeted.

He graduated from Yale University in 2015 and earned a degree in history.
In the fall of 2017 he entered Harvard Law School and in the fall of 2018 he entered Harvard Business School.
“I’m inspired by my family’s legacy of public service,” Schlossberg said in his first live interview on Today in 2017. “It’s something that I’m very proud of.”
He graduated from the university in 2022, and in April 2023 he shared that he had passed the New York State bar exam.
He and his mom are very close. She worked as a U.S. ambassador in Japan from 2013 to 2017 and her son was spotted there with her during several occasions.
At one point, he served as a Senate page and intern, just like his mother, and worked under the tutelage of former Secretary of State John Kerry — who once provided insight into his character saying, “A sense of humor is not genetic, but apparently in the Kennedy family it can be inherited. In President Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, this quality seems to abide.”
When it comes to his love life, media outlets reported how he and his girlfriend of many years, Krissy Jones, a yoga teacher and studio owner, broke up in 2019. He’s allegedly dating someone else, a girl whom he met at a festival.
Jack is a huge fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. When the actor learned of Jack’s fascination with him, he decided to surprise him with a recorded video message for his 27th birthday. Jack loved it and said “it was the greatest day of my life.”
No matter if you share his political views or not, one thing is certain, Jack is a charming young man who wants to keep his grandfather’s legacy alive.
