Who is Jack Schlossberg?
Jack Schlossberg, 26, is the only son of Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Born in New York City. Schlossberg was raised in his mother's Catholic religion but still observes Jewish traditions because of his father. Schlossberg began making an impact in his community at a young age. When he was just 8 years old, Schlossberg co-founded a nonprofit organization named ReLight New York. The organization raised over $100,000 that would be used to install compact fluorescent lights in low-income housing developments.
As he continued his education in high school, he went on to be elected to make a speech at his commencement ceremony. After graduating from college, he went on to work at a Japanese internet and e-commerce company called Rakuten Inc.
Outside of continuing to further his education, there are a few fun interesting facts about Schlossberg:
1. In an interview with People he admitted he is a huge fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He couldn't control his happiness after receiving a birthday greeting from Dwayne.
“It was the happiest I’ve probably ever been.” “He’s just like the funniest, best guy,” Schlossberg said. “And what I really love about him is that he is the hardest worker… I identify with that because I think hard work is very, very important, and so I just think he’s the man.”
2. He loves fashion and appeared on Vanity Fair's Best Dressed List in 2017 along with celebrities including Lebron James, Donald Glover and Harry Styles.
3. He made his acting debut in 2018 on season eight of the show Blue Bloods. Schlossberg announced the news on his Instagram page before the premiere of the episode.
4. He is a volunteer EMT in NYC. Schlossberg received training for the position while he attended Yale.
Here's everything you need to know about the young socialite Jack Schlossberg and his new interest.
It has been made known that Schlossberg has a crush on Kendall Jenner.
1. He lived in Japan
Schlossberg spent time living overseas with his mother Caroline while she served as the US Ambassador to Japan during the Obama administration. Watching his mother work in Japan encouraged him to enter the public service sector after graduating with a degree in Japanese History.

“I learned a lot about Japan. But the most important thing I learned was about my own country,” he said. “It was something I had been told all my life but never fully grasped. I saw how people around the world see America: a beacon of opportunity, stability and strength in a world of uncertainty. America’s historic role has been just that. America, as President Kennedy once described it ‘has always been a lantern in the dark for those who love freedom but are persecuted, in misery, or in need.’”
2. He's a writer
It has been said that the young socialite resembles his late uncle in more ways than one. Aside from his good looks, Schlossberg has continued in his uncle's footsteps as a writer. John Jr. was the publisher of "George" a political magazine based in Washington D.C. With an active interest in politics, Schlossberg has written about politics for publications including Time, Politico and The Washington Post. Writing continues to run in the family as his sister Tatiana Schlossberg is a reporter for the New York Times.
3. He's smart
Schlossberg attended Yale University where he graduated with a B.A. in History with a focus in Japanese History in 2015. He was involved on campus as he wrote for Yale Herald and Yale Daily News.
In the Fall of 2017, Schlossberg made the decision to continue his education at Harvard Law School. He enrolled in the joint degree program in pursuit of obtaining a J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School respectively.
4. He has a crush on Kendall Jenner
The news of Schlossberg's crush on Kendall Jenner was revealed after Kim Kardashian did a cover story interview with Vogue Magazine for their May issue. According to writer Jonathan Van Meter, one of the Vogue crew members mentioned that Schlossberg reportedly had a crush on her sister. Kim seemed excited about the news.
“Kim’s eyes twinkle at the prospect of colluding over some dynastic matchmaking,” Van Meter said.
The news reminded Kim of her trip to the White House where she wore Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ watch which she bought at an auction in 2017. According to HollywoodLife, the watch had an estimated price of $395,000.
“It gave me some power: Let's get in there and get this done," Kim said. Her sister has the possibility of dating someone powerful like Schlossberg, but it is not certain that Kendall will pay him any attention.
5. He might not have any luck with Jenner
While the pair would make for a good couple, especially since they both love fashion, Kenner is currently unavailable. She is reportedly still with her boyfriend and basketball star Ben Simmons.
But who knows, maybe Schlossberg and Kenner will end up taking a serious interest in one another sometime in the future, allowing for the royal and famous family to merge.
