Overview
- Madonna, while promoting her new album Confessions II in a Grindr interview in late May 2026, said she would “only name dead people” when asked about the best sex she ever had and whispered that it was John F. Kennedy Jr.
- Jack Schlossberg, who is running in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th District, was asked about the comment on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show on Tuesday and replied, “All I can say is that, I bet she was right.”
- Reporting links Madonna’s on‑record remark to previously published accounts that say she and JFK Jr. had a brief, mostly physical fling in the late 1980s, as described in the 2024 biography JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography.
- There has been no public statement from Kennedy family representatives disputing the comment and both Madonna’s album campaign and Schlossberg’s campaign remain active with Madonna’s album set to arrive July 3, 2026.
- The exchange illustrates how a celebrity’s provocative promotion can move quickly into news about a political candidate and may shape short‑term media coverage of both Madonna’s album and Schlossberg’s June 23 primary contest.
