Brooke Shields has lifted the lid on her romance with John F. Kennedy Jr.
The 60-year-old actress was involved with JFK Jr - the late son of murdered US President John F Kennedy - in the late 1980s after they met on a skiing trip in Aspen, Colorado and she's now confirmed the pair "dated" but the relationship never turned physical.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Brooke explained: "I didn’t have a love story, I had a crazy, crazy crush. We dated but I never slept with him so I don’t know if that counts ... He was lovely to me."
Kennedy's relationship with his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was explored in Ryan Murphy's TV show Love Story and Brooke admits she binged the whole series.
She said: "I watched it start to finish. I loved it. I thought the acting was amazing."
Brooke previously revealed her daughter Rowan Henchy, 23, worked as a production assistant on Love Story and she let the actress know her name was going to be mentioned in the series.
Brooke told PEOPLE: "That was a little weird. I was away, and my daughter called me and she says: 'Oh my God, you’re mentioned in Love Story,' and she’s like: 'Is it true?'
"I was like: 'OK, I'd be happy to tell you all the stories if you want, but yes [it's true]."
Brooke has previously opened up about sharing a kiss with Kennedy during their brief romance. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2023, Brooke said: "He kissed me, and it was like the best kiss I've ever had in my life. It was beyond not-disappointing. The lips are beautiful, and the face is amazing, and the body and the person, and he was down to earth and funny and irreverent."
She added of the relationship: "It was beyond not-disappointing. I froze though because he was so precious to me. I was like: 'Oh, my God, you’re falling in love, and if you sleep with him he may not talk to you again - and you can’t handle that'.
"I wasn’t playing a game. I really was just so afraid of being really hurt, because if I slept with him I would’ve given him my entire universe, my heart, my everything."
Kennedy and his wife were killed in a plane crash in 1999 which also claimed the life of Carolyn's sister Lauren.
