The title of "America's most famous bachelor" was long held by John F. Kennedy, Jr., the charismatic son of the former president who grew up in the nation's spotlight. His high-profile partner for a significant period was actress Daryl Hannah, who starred as the giant protagonist in the 1993 television remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. Their relationship was one of the most documented and speculated-upon romances of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Their five-year, on-again, off-again affair was a constant source of fascination for the public and a prime target for the paparazzi. The "are they a couple or not?" dynamic was fueled by their frequent, very public arguments and reconciliations. The relationship was reportedly tumultuous, with persistent rumors that Kennedy's mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, did not approve of the match, adding another layer of drama to their story.

The couple ultimately split for good around 1994. Kennedy went on to found George magazine and marry publicist Carolyn Bessette in 1996. Tragically, he, his wife, and his sister-in-law died in a plane crash in 1999. Daryl Hannah has continued her successful acting career and is also a prominent environmental activist.
