Brooke Shields<\/strong><\/a> is looking back fondly on her brief time with the late John F. Kennedy Jr<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Appearing on the Thursday, May 21, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em><\/a>, Shields, 60, was asked what she thought about FX’s Love Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The series was loosely based on JFK Jr.’s romance with Carolyn Bessette<\/strong><\/a> before their deaths in 1999. Since its February release, the show has received mixed reviews from some of the real-life people depicted in the show.<\/p>\n

“I watched it start to finish. I loved it. I thought the acting was amazing,” Shields said on WWHL<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The actress clarified that her connection with JFK Jr. was never a fully fledged relationship, however.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t have a love story, I had a crazy, crazy crush,” she explained. “We dated but I never slept with him so I don’t know if that counts.”<\/p>\n

The Blue Lagoon<\/em> star added, “He was lovely to me.”<\/p>\n

Shields also noted that her daughter Rowan Henchy<\/strong>, 23, worked on the series as a production assistant. (Shields shares Rowan and Grier<\/strong>, 20, with her husband Chris Henchy<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Speaking to People<\/em> in an interview published on May 18, Shields recalled being surprised when her daughter informed her that her 1980s fling with the politician was mentioned in the series.<\/p>\n

“That was a little weird,” Shields told the publication. “I was away, and my daughter called me and she says, \u2018Oh my God, you’re mentioned in Love Story<\/em>,’ and she’s like, \u2018Is it true?'”<\/p>\n

Shields continued, “I was like, \u2018OK, I’d be happy to tell you all the stories if you want, but – yes.'”<\/p>\n

In March, Rowan joked about her mom and JFK Jr<\/a>. via a TikTok video. “I wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?” Rowan wrote over the clip, while lip-synching to Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap.”<\/p>\n

The camera then panned to Shields, who also mouthed the lyrics. “One of the best,'” text overlaying the video read.<\/p>\n

Shields previously shared details about her dating experience with JFK Jr. during an interview with The Howard Stern Show<\/em> in 2023.<\/p>\n

“We did have a real date. I wouldn’t sleep with him because I kind of loved him too much,” she recalled. “It was beyond not-disappointing. I froze though because he was so precious to me. I was like, \u2018Oh, 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.'”<\/p>\n

She added, “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.”<\/p>\n

During her Thursday appearance on WWHL<\/em>, Shields also answered whether she’d seen 2026 musical drama Micheal<\/em>, which was based on her late, longtime friend Michael Jackson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I have not seen his movie yet but I want to. I’m told I’m not in it and I didn’t even think that I would be,” Shields said.<\/p>\n

Shields said that people keep asking her if she’s “upset” about the movie. “I’m like, \u2018No, he was my dear friend.”<\/p>\n
