Jack Schlossberg Shares Baby News with a Twist on Social Media

Jack Schlossberg, grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy, recently took to social media to announce that he is expecting a child, stirring up quite a conversation online. His post on April 6 not only revealed his exciting news but also hinted at an unconventional twist involving Usha Vance, wife of Republican Senator J.D. Vance.

In a playful tone more characteristic of a professional prankster, Schlossberg, 34, wrote on X that he is “having a son” and expressed his enthusiasm for fatherhood.

He added a humorous note regarding the nature of the impending parenthood, mentioning that the child is “out of wedlock” but suggesting the possibility of marriage with the mother.

Subsequently, he shared a lighthearted, photoshopped image on Instagram, depicting Usha Vance cradling him as if he were a newborn. In his caption, he cleverly referenced the challenges of readiness for parenthood, stating, “Little Jason and his mom — You never feel like you’re ready to be a parent. Until one day, you become one.”

As expected, Schlossberg’s announcement elicited a mix of reactions. While some users took the news at face value, many recognized the tongue-in-cheek nature of his posts, joining in on the humor.

Comments poured in, with some users joking, “He’s got your eyes ,” and another humorously inquiring, “Where are you registered?”

Known for his penchant for merging fact and fiction, Schlossberg has admitted to employing outrageous storytelling to comment on today’s media environment. He believes that making impactful statements requires an element of surprise and controversy.

In a previous discussion on MSNBC’s podcast The Blueprint with Jen Psaki, he stated, “I think that the internet is a place where it’s difficult to break through, especially if you’re not saying something that’s controversial or unexpected.”

Schlossberg also acknowledged that the political landscape favors strategies that incite strong reactions, emphasizing that provoking a response is crucial for visibility.

Reflecting on past antics, he mentioned having misled followers about a breakup, intending for it to be humorous, never expecting such a serious reaction from his audience. “I couldn’t stop laughing when I recorded that video. I thought it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever done,” he said.

Schlossberg closed by affirming his passion for politics and concern for the nation, advocating for Democrats to adopt innovative strategies to capture public attention. His unique approach continues to spark dialogue in both political and social spheres as he navigates the complexities of public life.
