Here’s everything you need to know about the Kennedy who gained attention after being linked to the Oscar winner and for recounting a gruesome story about a whale in a 2012 interview.
Kick, 36, is RFK Jr.’s eldest daughter and the second of his six children.
With his first wife, Emily Ruth Black, the former independent presidential candidate welcomed Kick in April 1988 and her brother, Robert “Bobby” Kennedy III, in September 1984. He later had four more children—Conor Kennedy, Kyra Kennedy, William “Finn” Kennedy, and Aidan Kennedy—with his second wife, Mary Kathleen Richardson.
Her full name is Kathleen Alexandra Kennedy, but she earned the nickname Kick from her great-aunt, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy—sister of President John F. Kennedy—who tragically died in a plane crash in 1948 at the age of 28.
In a 2012 interview with Town & Country, Kick mentioned that she believes she is “similar” to her ancestor.
“I always thought Dad and I were the same person, but I got fascinated by Kick a few years ago,” she explained. “She was fun, social, and a performer in many ways.
“Of course, I don’t think my parents would ever call my own death divine retribution,” Kick joked at the time. “Well, maybe if I became a Republican.”
