The biography “Jackie: Public, Private, Secret” by J. Randy Taraborrelli reveals an alleged affair between Jackie Kennedy and architect Jack Warnecke, which started months after JFK’s assassination in 1963. Warnecke, interestingly, was the man Kennedy hired to design JFK’s gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.
This relationship began when Warnecke asked Jackie out to dinner in May 1964. Despite a lack of clear affirmation from her, their relationship developed and lasted for about three years. They spent time together at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod and had significant emotional ties to each other.
Warnecke even considered proposing to Jackie during a trip to Hawaii in 1966, but financial strains related to his firm and their lifestyle led to the end of their relationship. Jackie later stopped taking his calls and moved on with her life.
Jackie Kennedy’s life after Warnecke involved marriage to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis in 1968 and a later relationship with diamond merchant Maurice Tempelsman. However, in a poignant turn of events, when Jackie was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1994, she reconnected with Warnecke to reminisce over letters from her past, indicating the lasting impact of their relationship.
