George Moran, Tatiana Schlossberg's Husband, Described as 'Handsome Genius'
Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's daughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, revealed that she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer in a heartbreaking essay in The New Yorker.
In that essay, in which Tatiana shared that she likely has a year left to live, Tatiana lavished her husband, George Moran, with praise. He is the father of her two kids; Tatiana revealed that her cancer diagnosis came in 2024 after the birth of their second child, a daughter.
- Her white blood cell count was "alarmingly high" after that birth. Moran, "who was then a urology resident at the hospital, began calling friends who were primary-care doctors and ob-gyns," she wrote, adding that when the diagnosis came, it was "cute myeloid leukemia, with a rare mutation called Inversion 3."
- Transplants, chemotherapy, and medical trials followed.
"George did everything for me that he possibly could. He talked to all the doctors and insurance people that I didn’t want to talk to; he slept on the floor of the hospital; he didn’t get mad when I was raging on steroids and yelled at him that I did not like Schweppes ginger ale, only Canada Dry," she wrote.
"He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner. I know that not everyone can be married to a doctor, but, if you can, it’s a very good idea. He is perfect, and I feel so cheated and so sad that I don’t get to keep living the wonderful life I had with this kind, funny, handsome genius I managed to find."
“My son might have a few memories, but he’ll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears,” she wrote. “I didn’t ever really get to take care of my daughter — I couldn’t change her diaper or give her a bath or feed her, all because of the risk of infection after my transplants. I was gone for almost half of her first year of life. I don’t know who, really, she thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember, when I am gone, that I am her mother.”
