Inside Jacqueline Kennedy’s Unique Bond With Son John F. Kennedy Jr.

Published

And so would begin Jackie Kennedy’s pressing fear for her family’s safety, eased not at all by the fact that President Kennedy famously carried with him the premonition that he would die young and had resigned himself to that fate. His favorite poem was Alan Seeger‘s “I Have a Rendezvous With Death.”

But the 35th president of the United States was a doting father and, at least once the children were born, a somewhat more attentive husband. He and Jackie did sleep in separate bedrooms that were connected by a walk-in closet, but by the beginning of 1963, she was pregnant again. Son Patrick died at 2 days old on Aug. 9, 1963. He had arrived five weeks early, also with  underdeveloped lungs, like his big brother, but suffered from a more severe case of the breathing ailment that plagued John Jr.

Jackie spiraled into depression and spent four weeks cruising the Aegean Sea with her sister Lee Radziwill and Lee’s good friend, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who hosted the sisters on his 325-foot yacht, Christina. Onassis’ business had been the subject of criminal investigations in the U.S., so both the president and his attorney general, Bobby Kennedy, were familiar with him.

Bittersweetly, when Jackie returned to the U.S., knowing she needed to be by her husband’s side as his reelection campaign kicked into gear, the Kennedys became closer than perhaps ever before in their 10 years of marriage.

Chris Pratt Talks Funniest Super Mario Bros. Movie Moments

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger‘s TV viewing habits are a little different as parents.

In an exclusive interview with E! News, Chris joked that the couple’s so-called favorite series these days is a baby monitor that watches over their daughters Lyla Maria, 2, and Eloise Christina, 10 months.

“It’s this new show where you just hope and pray that they stay asleep all night,” quipped the Jurassic World star, who is also dad to 10-year-old son Jack with ex Anna Faris. “It’s been really great. Drama, some comedy.”

While Chris and Katherine are also fans of Yellowstone and Ozark, the actor noted, “It’s been hard for us to find the time to watch anything.”

After all, bedtime can be quite the production. As the 43-year-old explained, the biggest challenge is to put his children to sleep and successfully sneak out of the room without waking them.

“That’s like an obstacle course,” Chris remarked. “And I have one ankle…that cracks every third step. I got a loud ankle, and so I have to hobble out on one leg or else I wake the baby up.”

“We got as close as we could,” Peter said on the pod, hosted by Waverly Place alums Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise. “It was pretty much right there.”

While his show wasn’t able to peel back the layers of Alex and Stevie’s relationship, Peter acknowledged that the network has made more progressive strides in recent years.

“Disney Channel has had [queer] characters,” he noted. “They did it. At that time, it wasn’t a thing.”

In the 2016 series finale of the animated comedy Gravity Falls, Sheriff Blubs (Kevin Michael Richardson) and Deputy Durland (Keith Ferguson) confirmed they were in a relationship.

Additionally, shows like Star Wars Resistance, The Owl House and The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder have featured LGBTQ+ representation on Disney Channel since Wizards of Waverly Place left the airwaves.
