Brooke Shields Sets the Record Straight on Whether or Not JFK Jr. ‘Was a Good Kisser’

Brooke Shields has entered the chat.

Amid continued fascination into the life of John F. Kennedy Jr. as his relationship with Carolyn Bessette is explored in FX’s Love Story, the 60-year-old actress is looking back on her interaction with late cultural icon.

In a recent TikTok video posted by Shields’ daughter Rowan — whom she shares with husband Chris Henchy — the Golden Globe nominee weighs in on JFK Jr.’s kissing skills.

“I wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?” text reads over Rowan, 22, before the camera pans to her mother with a text overlay that says: “One of the best.”

In the caption, Rowan clarified, “But don’t forget… they never dated.”

Though they never were officially an item, Shields was once loosely linked to JFK Jr., who ended up marrying Bessette on September 21, 1996, in an intimate ceremony on Cumberland Island, Georgia (the focus of Love Story’s most recent episode).

Shields previously recalled meeting the son of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy during a conversation with Howard Stern in which she said, “I was so madly in love with him.”

The Pretty Baby actress explained that she met JFK Jr. when she was in Aspen with family to attend a wedding.

“We did have a real date, and I wouldn’t sleep with him because I just kind of loved him too much,” she explained.

Recalling their outing, Shields told Stern, “We go out to this bar/pub with the rest of his family, so everybody’s just drinking at the bar, and there’s bar fights and drinking, and he’s like, ‘You want to get out of here?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I do want to get out of here, John Kennedy!’”

They took a cab back to a hotel that Kennedy was staying in, Shields said, “and he kissed me.”

“It was like the best kiss I’ve ever had in my life,” she shared. “Beyond not disappointing: the lips are beautiful, and the face is amazing, and the body, and the person, and… He was down to earth and funny and irreverent.”

“I froze, though, because it was so precious to me,” she admitted. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, you’re falling in love, and if you sleep with him, he may not talk to you again, and you can’t handle that.’”

The next day, Shields saw him on the ski slope, “and he didn’t look at me, and he didn’t talk to me,” she said. “On the one hand, I was like, ‘S**t.’ On the other hand, I was like, ‘Oh, thank God’ because he still might not have talked to [me] even if [we] had [sex], and you would have given [him] something that he wouldn’t have cared about.”
