Apart from being famous for their political prowess and good looks, the Kennedys are also considered unlucky and some even say cursed, having a tendency towards tragic and out of the ordinary deaths in the family such as assassination and death by misadventure (like plane crashes). Sadly Conor’s immediate family hasn’t escaped this curse, his parents filed for divorce in early 2012 and on May 16, 2012 his mother took her own life.
Country Kennedy
Conor made the news this year when he started appearing in public with country cutie Taylor Swift. He may be just 18-years-old, but he clearly is romantic enough to capture the heart of this famous ballad-singing beauty.

It’s been reported that far from loving to go partying, the two enjoy getting away from it all and were seen antiquing in Massachusetts.
