All The Women JFK Jr. Dated Before Marrying Carolyn

A breakout star of the '80s, Daryl Hannah made a name for herself in films like "Blade Runner," "Splash," and "Steel Magnolias." Hannah originally met Kennedy in the early '80s when both of their families were vacationing in Saint Martin, and it was Hannah's quirkiness that initially captured Kennedy's attention. "John found it odd that Daryl seemed to carry a teddy bear with her wherever she went, but also found her fascinating," biographer Steven M. Gillon wrote in his book, "America's Reluctant Prince: The Life of John F. Kennedy Jr." (via InStyle). The pair didn't meet again until a wedding in 1988, but this time around, they started dating. For the next six years, Kennedy and Hannah were off and on again until they decided to call it quits in 1994.

As far as what caused the final straw, Gillon told InStyle that while Jackie Kennedy was in a New York hospital just days before her death, John was stuck in L.A. for Hannah's dog's funeral. "And even after [Jackie] died," Gillon explained, "Daryl had another dog that was sick and John was up in Martha's Vineyard or Hyannis Port, and Daryl's on the phone talking about her dog all the time and John is there in the kitchen with [his longtime friend] Sasha Chermayeff, and he says, 'Can you believe this. I just lost my mom and all she wants to talk about is her sick dog.'"

Though Hannah moved on and eventually married singer/songwriter Neil Young in 2018, she allegedly has never recovered from Kennedy's death, one source reported to OK!.
