Reports of former US President John F. Kennedy’s numerous affairs during his ten-year marriage to Jackie Kennedy are widely known.

However, it appears that Jackie had her own share of affairs as well, which included at least two men during their marriage.

One of John’s lovers was Judith Exner, who was also romantically involved with Sam Giancana and John Roselli, two Mafia leaders from Chicago.

She once claimed that John got her pregnant, but she had an abortion.

She also described him as a loving and gentle person genuinely concerned about her feelings.

Apart from Exner, John was allegedly in a relationship with actress Marilyn Monroe.

His long list of alleged mistresses includes Mary Pinchot Meyer, White House intern Mimi Alford, White House Press Office secretary Jill Cowan, and a few more.

It is important to note that Jackie knew about her husband’s extramarital affairs.

According to gossip columnist Liz Smith, Jackie was unsurprised and fascinated by it.

In 1957, after suffering a miscarriage and a stillbirth, Jackie had had enough.

She went to California with her friend Bill Walton and attended a party at Hollywood agent and producer Charlie Feldman’s house where she met Oscar-winning actor William Holden and his wife, Brenda Marshall.

Although they were both married, Jackie let Holden know she was interested in him.

They began an affair, and according to Walton, their relationship was the result of Jackie’s desire to seek revenge on her husband.

For Jackie’s revenge to make sense, John had to learn about her and Holden’s fling, so she talked to him about it.

Walton once explained, “By flaunting it, Jackie probably hoped to reawaken Jack’s romantic interest in her.

I suppose she wanted to redefine herself as the kind of flirtatious woman Jack usually found irresistible.”

If that was her plan, then it worked pretty well as she got pregnant a few months later.

However, it wouldn’t be the only time she cheated on her husband.

In 1962, when Jackie took a trip to Italy, she had an affair with industrialist Gianni Agnelli.

Apart from Agnelli, Jackie also got involved with bisexual Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev.

She fell for him in 1963, months before John’s death when she invited him and his dance partner Margot Fonteyn to the White House to perform.

Even after John died in November 1963, Jackie and Nureyev stayed together.

Nureyev, who also had affairs with Robert Kennedy and Jackie’s sister Lee Radziwill, once proudly said that he was the “sexiest man alive” and urged everyone who doubted him to ask Jackie, Robert, and other members of the Kennedy family.

It is worth noting that Jackie had a complicated relationship with John’s brother, Robert Kennedy.

According to Steve Cuozzo, Robert Kennedy asked Jackie to marry him after JFK’s assassination, but she refused.

Jackie’s love life has always been a subject of fascination for many people.

Her affair with Holden and her other alleged infidelities are just some of the highlights of her colorful romantic past.
