Actress Brooke Shields has revealed details about her brief romance with the late John F. Kennedy Jr., recalling the 1980s fling in a candid TikTok video with her daughter Rowan Henchy.
In the multi-generational clip, Shields, 60, described Kennedy Jr. as “one of the best” kissers, sparking renewed interest in the late socialite and his high-profile romances. The reveal came as Shields played along with her 22-year-old daughter, who lip-synched to the viral mashup of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX performing Boom Clap from Swift’s 1989 Tour.
The TikTok text teased the question, “I wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?” before Shields turned to the camera with a dramatic glance over her shoulder, answering, “One of the best.”
Shields previously detailed the relationship in the 2024 book JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography by RoseMarie Terenzio and Liz McNeil, recalling that at 19 or 20, she was still a virgin. She said she had an honest conversation with Kennedy Jr., telling him, “So do yourself a favor, back off.” She described the encounter as “sweet” and “brutally honest.”
The TikTok has since gone viral, giving fans a rare, playful glimpse into Shields’ life and her memories of one of America’s most iconic figures.
