Book: Jackie and Bobby Kennedy had an affair
Former US First Lady Jackie Kennedy had a passionate four-year affair with Bobby Kennedy, the brother of her late husband, according to a new book.
The Telegraph reports that Jackie was so in love with Bobby, that when he was shot during his presidential campaign in 1968 it was her – not his wife Ethel – who instructed doctors to turn off his life support machine.
Ethel was aware of the affair but chose to ignore it, according to Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, by C. David Heymann.
“Everybody knew about the affair. The two of them carried on like a pair of lovesick teenagers,” the late Franklin Roosevelt Jr, who served in John Kennedy’s White House, said. “I suspect Bobby would’ve liked to dump Ethel and marry Jackie, but, of course, that wasn’t possible.”
