Growing Up In The White House: Presidents’ Kids Then And Now

The Kennedy Kids

John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie had four children, two sons and two daughters: Caroline, JFK Jr., Patrick, and Arabella. Their first child was Arabella who was sadly stillborn. She had another child a son named Patrick who died two days after his birth due to a lung infection. They later went on to have children Caroline and John F. Kennedy Jr. Caroline and JFK Jr. were among the youngest children to ever reside in the White House.

JFK and Jackie were notably very young to be a president and first lady. As though the family was not already burdened with enough sadness JFK was assassinated in 1963. Caroline was only six years old when her father was assassinated and John was two years old.
