According to the biography, Bessette-Kennedy and John began dating on and off in the early '90s while he was still seeing his former girlfriend Daryl Hannah, whom he officially broke up with in 1994. And Carolyn apparently wasn't happy about the overlap between the two relationships, nor the fact that it kept her from meeting Jackie. "Carolyn became increasingly irked that he wouldn't introduce her to his mother," wrote author Elizabeth Beller.
It's a decision that John reportedly wished he could take back. “I know that he did regret it,” Beller said. “That's one of the things that he said to several friends, one of his main regrets was not introducing the two of them.” Ultimately, the couple was able to move on and got married in 1996 during a secret wedding inside the First African Baptist Church on Cumberland Island, a mile off the coast of Georgia. Less than three years later, Bessette-Kennedy and John's love story came to a tragic end when they, along with Carolyn's sister, Lauren, died in a plane crash off of Martha's Vineyard on July 16, 1999.
