Was it the love lagoon?
Despite Brooke Shieldsâ affection for the late John F. Kennedy Jr., she ânever slept with him.â
âI had a crazy, crazy, crush,â Shields, 60, clarified while on âWatch What Happens Liveâ Thursday. âWe dated, but I never slept with him.â
âI donât know if that counts. It counted for me!â she continued. âHe was lovely to meet.â
Shields also talked about watching FXâs âLove Story,â which depicted the former first sonâs relationship with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, leading up to the coupleâs fatal 1999 plane crash.
âI watched it start to finish. I loved it. I thought the acting was amazing,â the âYouâre Killing Meâ star gushed, before noting that she didnât have âa real love storyâ with the public figure.
Meanwhile, Shieldsâ daughter Rowan Henchy, 23, worked as a production assistant on âLove Storyâ and gave her mom a heads up that she was mentioned in the show.
âThat was a little weird,â the âBlue Lagoonâ star admitted to People earlier this week. âI was away, and my daughter called me and she says, âOh my God, youâre mentioned in âLove Story,ââ and sheâs like, âIs it true?ââ
In one scene, John (played by Paul Anthony Kelly) told Carolyn (played by Sarah Pidgeon) that, despite never dating Shields, they did share a kiss.
The âEndless Loveâ actress confirmed the news to her eldest child.
âI was like, âOK, Iâd be happy to tell you all the stories if you want,ââ Shields recalled, ââbutâyes.ââ
In March, the mother-daughter duo poked fun at the moment in a cheeky TikTok video.
The author and model mouthed lyrics to Charli XCXâs song âBoom Clap.â
In the clip, Henchy lip-synced lyrics, while the words, âI wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?â popped up on screen.
The camera then showed Shields, who was also lip syncing with the text, âOne of the best,â written over the video.
Henchy, captioned the footage, âBut donât forget ⊠they never dated.â
Shields, who is a former Calvin Klein model, was briefly linked to John in the 1980s.
In 2023, while on âThe Howard Stern Show,â the mom of two said she and John went on one ârealâ ski date in Aspen, Colorado.
Shields called their smooch the âbest kiss [sheâs] ever had in [her] life,â adding that she âfrozeâ at the thought of having sex with him.
âI was like, âOh my God, youâre falling in love and if you sleep with him, he may not talk to you again,ââ she recalled.
âI wasnât playing a game, I really was just so afraid of being really hurt,â Shields insisted. âBecause if I slept with him, I would have given him my entire universe, my heart, my everything.â
The former presidentâs son went on to marry Carolyn in 1996 and the pair had a famously volatile relationship over the years.
However, their lives were tragically cut short after the plane John was piloting crashed into the ocean off the coast of Marthaâs Vineyard, Massachusetts, in July 1999. Carolynâs sister, Lauren Bessette, was also on the plane.
For her part, Shields tied the knot with tennis star Andre Agassi in 1997, before divorcing two years later in 1999.
In 2001, the âPretty Babyâ star married Chris Henchy. Along with Rowan, the couple shares daughter Grier, 20.
