FX’s «Love Story» has captured the attention of viewers with its retelling of the romantic story and tragic final days of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The emotional final episode, which aired in late March 2026, focuses on the couple’s last trip and the devastating plane crash that claimed their lives, as well as the life of Carolyn’s sister, Lauren Bessette.
The series revisits their final chapter—from the challenges in their relationship to the aftermath of the tragedy—and viewers are reminded of key facts related to this tragedy and the Kennedy family’s timeline. Here’s what you should know.
Bill Clinton was president when John Kennedy Jr. died in July 1999.
According to the AP Archive, on July 18, 1999, when the search for JFK Jr.'s plane began, Clinton stated: «For more than 40 years, the Kennedys have inspired Americans to serve their communities, strengthened our faith in the future, and moved our country forward. Throughout all this time, they have suffered greatly and given even more. In recent years, particularly, John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn have captured our imagination and our sympathy».
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the mother of John Kennedy Jr. and former First Lady, passed away on May 19, 1994, at the age of 64 after battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Her death occurred just five years before John’s, marking another significant loss for the Kennedy family. Jackie remained a highly respected public figure after leaving the White House, later working as a book editor and leading a more private life in New York City
