John F. Kennedy Jr, son of former US president John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is widely considered one of America’s most timeless heartthrobs. The late attorney and publisher is now back in the spotlight thanks to FX’s Love Story. The hit series executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, which focuses on JFK Jr’s whirlwind romance with fashion publicist Carolyn Bessette, is currently the most popular title on Hulu, according to streaming data collection website FlixPatrol.

The success of the series has also brought renewed attention to John-John’s dating history. Actress Brooke Shields, who was once linked to the businessman, recently claimed in a cheeky TikTok video with her daughter, Rowan Henchy, that he was “one of the best” kissers.
