JFK Jr Faced Marriage Turmoil Before Death

Carolyn had returned to her past lifestyle, associating with her old crowd from the Calvin Klein days, known for their drug use and partying. She even provided them with keys to the loft she shared with John.

On one occasion, John came home to find Carolyn in a compromising situation with four male friends.

“John found the men cuddling with his wife on a futon under a quilt in the spare room,” a friend recounted.

“He furiously accused Carolyn of being a ‘cokehead,’ to which she retorted, calling him a ‘f-g!’ and led her friends in mocking him.”

This was not an isolated incident. Klein reported that another friend revealed Carolyn often used derogatory language toward John.

Later, Carolyn attempted to dismiss the situation by claiming, “They’re all queer!”

John’s instincts told him otherwise, and he later discovered that some of her friends were bisexual.

John’s suspicions of infidelity were heightened when he noticed a frequently dialed number on Carolyn’s phone bill.

“Out of curiosity, I called the number,” he later confided to a friend, “and discovered it was an antiques store we had visited.”

The store was run by a man Carolyn found attractive, according to sources. John’s fears were confirmed when he saw Carolyn at a party, intimately dancing with the same man.

“I searched for her, going from room to room,” he recounted to his friend. “Finally, I found her dancing closely with this man. I had to leave before I broke down.”

Reports indicated that Carolyn met the man while shopping for antiques, and there was an immediate attraction, leading to secret meetings at his shop. “Staff would return to find the shop in disarray,” another friend noted.

Heartbroken, John tried to reconcile with Carolyn. “When I hugged her, she froze,” he admitted to a friend. “I realized she didn’t want me because she had someone else.”

When John confronted her about the man, she laughed and said, “I don’t pry into your affairs, so don’t pry into mine.” Her ongoing relationship with Bergin was particularly devastating for John, sources said.

In The Kennedy Curse, Klein writes that Carolyn had rekindled her relationship with the underwear model. In his book, Klein noted that Bergin eventually stopped seeing her out of respect for her marriage.

He wrote: “He didn’t feel comfortable continuing a relationship with a married woman. But Carolyn was obsessed with him. One day she went up the fire escape to his apartment and broke in through the window.”

A friend recalled being hurried out of Bergin’s apartment when the intercom buzzed. Upon leaving, the friend saw Carolyn hiding under the stairs.

“As John later told a friend, he was shocked,” Klein recounted. “He couldn’t believe a woman would choose another man over him. It took him a while to recover from this blow.”

Bergin admitted to Klein that his relationship with Carolyn was tumultuous and passionate.

“Carolyn and I had a deep love for each other,” Bergin told Klein. “I know she still loved me even after marrying John Kennedy. Some feelings never fade.”

Despite everything, John made earnest efforts to salvage his marriage, according to Klein. “He convinced Carolyn to see a psychiatrist and ensured she took her antidepressants. He whisked her away on romantic vacations. In March 1999, he began joining her for marriage counseling.”

However, his attempts were futile. “Just four months later, on July 12, a week before their deaths, Carolyn stormed out of a counseling session when her drug use was discussed,” Klein documented.

He further added: “In an ultimate act of rejection, Carolyn started sleeping in a spare room that John used for his exercise gear.” Humiliated by her refusal to share a bed and claims of infidelity, John left their home and checked into a $2,000-a-night suite at the Stanhope hotel.

“Friends advised him, ‘Leave this marriage. She detests you and might eventually lead to your demise,'” a friend said.

“But John believed he could repair the marriage till the very end. He tried to convince himself that Carolyn’s claims of infidelity were drug-induced fantasies. Sadly, he couldn’t,” the friend added. “John died thinking Carolyn had humiliated him by being unfaithful.”
