Inside The Intimate Details Revealed In The New Jackie Kennedy Onassis Biography

J. Randy Taraborrelli wanted his book about Jackie Kennedy to be different from the others.

"So many of the books about Jackie are about the glamour and the celebrity," he told People. "I wanted to write about the human side."

His new book, Jackie: Public, Private, Secret introduces readers to some lesser-known details of the former first lady's life.

Although Jackie's relationship with architect Jack Warnecke was not a secret, the book provides new details about the relationship. Jack reportedly shared details with Taraborrelli but wanted to respect Jackie's privacy. He asked that the details be concealed until a decade after he died.

Jack approached Jackie less than a year after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

He asked her out, and Jackie told him that she didn't date. According to the book, Jack told her it wasn't a date.

She reportedly had Jack over in November 1964 but had mixed feelings after.

"Every time I think I’m having fun, I look down at myself from above and can see that it’s all performance art,” she reportedly told Jack.

They continued to have an intimate relationship for several years without plans for the future.

Eventually, they stopped seeing each other due to the amount of debt that Jack had.

According to the book, Jackie also had a short relationship with Warren Beatty.

It didn't work out. Jackie described him as "self-absorbed," and when a friend reportedly asked about his skills in the bedroom, she allegedly said, "Oh, he’s fine. Men can only do so much, anyway."

In 1968, Jackie married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. He died in 1975. After his death, she began seeing Michael Cacoyannis, but the relationship ended because he didn't want her to work.

She later had a relationship with diamond merchant Maurice Tempelsman.

Toward the end of her life, Jackie saw Jack again.

He reportedly told her that he never stopped loving her, but instead of saying the same, she responded with, "That’s such a lovely thing to say, Jack. Thank you."

The book also discusses Jackie's experience seeing a psychiatrist for PTSD following JFK's death.

The book claims that Jackie had an issue with her psychiatrist, Dr. Kris, after finding out that the doctor previously saw Marilyn Monroe as a patient.

Because of Marilyn's rumored affair with JFK, Jackie thought that her psychiatrist should've informed her about this.

"When Jackie confronted her, Dr. Kris said she felt no responsibility to inform her about any former patients in the same way she’d never reveal that she’d ever treated Jackie. Marianne asked, 'How is this relevant?' to which Jackie responded, 'How is that not relevant?'" Taraborrelli wrote in the book.
