Simon revealed in an interview with NBC News that Jackie was aware of both JFK's and Aristotle Onassis's infidelities but seemed unfazed. The former first lady reportedly saw these dalliances as less significant compared to the deep love she believed her husbands had for her.
Jackie, according to Simon's memoir, knew about JFK's affairs but didn't let them affect her as much as other actions, such as his absence during the birth of their child. Simon suggested that these incidents might have hurt Jackie more than the affairs themselves.
The singer hinted at a specific incident in 1956 when Jackie gave birth to a stillborn child, and JFK was reportedly on a yacht with his mistress in the Mediterranean Sea, reluctant to return promptly. This detachment during a difficult time may have been more painful for Jackie than the extramarital affairs.
Simon's memoir sheds light on the complex emotions and dynamics within Jackie Kennedy's marriages, providing a unique perspective on the iconic figure's personal life.
