In an intimate memoir titled “Come to the Edge,” John F. Kennedy Jr.’s ex-girlfriend Christina Haag delves into their five-year relationship, shedding light on his close bond with his mother, Jackie Kennedy, and his vulnerability in handling difficult situations. Haag’s personal account provides a unique perspective on the iconic Kennedy family and their dynamics.
Haag’s memoir, published in the early 2000s, recounts various aspects of her relationship with John Jr., from their initial meeting to their adventures around the world. However, one particular incident highlighted in the book stands out – the moment John Jr. revealed his fear of informing “Mummy” Jackie about a dangerous situation they had encountered.
Describing an incident when they accidentally skidded their kayak into a boulder, Haag vividly remembers John Jr.’s distress. “I saw John, my captain: John, who was never afraid. Unable to be still, he paced the beach, muttering something, his eyes wide and to the ground. ‘Don’t tell Mummy, don’t tell Mummy,’ he repeated like a mantra to no one,” wrote Haag.
The anecdote portrays a vulnerable side of John Jr., a departure from the image of the tall, dark, and handsome figure often associated with him. Haag’s narrative exposes the depth of his fear and the desire to protect his mother from any distressing news.
Throughout the years, there have been numerous reports on the tight bond between John Jr. and Jackie Kennedy, with some suggesting that he would seek her approval and guidance in his romantic relationships. Haag’s personal account adds a new layer of understanding to their relationship and the impact Jackie had on her son’s life choices.
John Jr. and Haag’s relationship began during their college years in New York City, where they discovered their close proximity to each other’s apartments. Their romance took them on exhilarating adventures around the world, but ultimately, they parted ways after five years.
This memoir offers a unique window into the personal life of one of America’s most iconic families. Haag’s account brings forth a more nuanced perspective on the Kennedys, showing that even legendary figures like John Jr. had their vulnerabilities and fears.
