JFK’s Student Mistress Reveals Affair After Decades of Silence

For 63 years, Diana de Vegh kept her secret affair with John F. Kennedy hidden from the world.

Now, at the age of 83, she has decided to share her story.

In 1958, de Vegh was a junior at Radcliffe College when she first encountered JFK.

She was captivated by his senatorial re-election campaign speech in Boston and was surprised when he approached her table and asked to sit next to her.

This innocent meeting marked the beginning of their four-year on-and-off relationship.

At the time, JFK was already married and had a bad back.

Despite this, he regularly arranged secret rendezvous with de Vegh.

A driver would pick her up and take her to wherever JFK was campaigning, where she would be discreetly attended to by staff.

They would then spend time together during the drive home.

Their love affair took place in various locations, including a Boston apartment and the Carlyle Hotel in New York City.

However, de Vegh longed for more than just stolen moments with JFK.

She eventually moved to Washington, DC, hoping to be closer to him as he pursued the presidency.

Sadly, she felt neglected by President Kennedy and decided to run away to Paris.

Their final meeting took place either at JFK's home or the Oval Office, but it was the last time they saw each other.

JFK was assassinated the following year, leaving de Vegh in shock and disbelief.

After the affair ended, de Vegh kept it a secret.

In those days, nice girls didn't talk about such things.

She went on to live her life, getting married, having children, and pursuing a career as a social worker.

The affair became a buried memory that she carried with her.

Over the years, rumors of JFK's numerous affairs began to circulate, but it wasn't until decades later that de Vegh's story would be shared.

In 1962, JFK discovered that de Vegh's father was an economist he had been consulting with.

This created a problem for JFK, and he gradually distanced himself from her.

De Vegh remained silent about the affair until recently.

She realized that many young women still idolize older men instead of valuing themselves.

By sharing her story, she hopes to inspire women to reevaluate toxic relationships and prioritize self-love.

Looking back, de Vegh acknowledges that her relationship with JFK was based on an unequal power dynamic.

She regrets not valuing herself more and allowing herself to be seduced by him.

If she knew then what she knows now about healthy and equal partnerships, she believes she would have made different choices.

In the end, de Vegh sees her affair with JFK as a valuable lesson.

It taught her the importance of self-respect and the dangers of putting someone on a pedestal.
