Kyle Kennedy<\/a> — one of Robert F. Kennedy<\/a> and Ethel Kennedy’s grandchildren — is dead.<\/p>\n Kyle died at her home in Westwood, Massachusetts, on September 21 … according to an online obituary.<\/p>\n The cause and manner of death have not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kyle was the daughter of Michael Kennedy — the 6th of Robert and Ethel’s 11 children — and Victoria Denise Gifford, whose father was NFL legend Frank Gifford<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle was just 13 years old when Michael tragically skied into a tree while playing football on skis with other Kennedy family members. He died on New Year’s Eve 1997.<\/p>\n She later became an educator … beginning her career while working at a disadvantaged school through the Teach For America program after graduating from Georgetown University. Kyle later earned advanced degrees from Pace University and Harvard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n While she mostly lived a private life, Kyle gained national attention briefly in 2012 … when her cousin Conor Kennedy<\/a> allegedly crashed her wedding with his then-girlfriend Taylor Swift<\/a>. Taylor has always denied she was a gate-crasher — insisting she was invited and even claiming Kyle thanked her for showing up.<\/p>\n In more recent years, Kyle dealt with her own challenges … losing a daughter, Josie, just days after she was born. Kyle was also left paralyzed after suffering a severe spinal cord injury in 2020.<\/p>\n She was just 42 years old.<\/p>\n RIP<\/p>\n Story developing …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RFK’s Granddaughter Kyle Kennedy Dead at 42 Published October 20, 2026 7:35 AM PDT | Updated October 20,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":940313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,64562,13701,64563,64564,64565,64566,64567,64568],"class_list":["post-940312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-hannah-montana","tag-miley-cyrus","tag-miley-cyrus-bong","tag-miley-cyrus-gossip","tag-miley-cyrus-lap-dance","tag-miley-cyrus-news","tag-miley-cyrus-update","tag-miley-ray-cyrus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/940313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Kyle](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/fef01a3d0aa64a6eaf3a97c1e4984d03_md.jpg\")
