Did JFK Have An Illegitimate Love Child?

As reported by Vanity Fair, Jack Worthington II's mother, Evelyn, could have met John F. Kennedy at several points during the late 1950s or early 1960s, given her family's proximity to the political realm in which Kennedy operated. However, per Worthington (shown above), he didn't have a close relationship with his mother and she refused to offer up any details about how she had come to have an affair with Kennedy. Furthermore, she refused to provide a DNA sample of her own or from her husband. 

Vanity Fair did obtain some of Kennedy's hair from collector John Reznikoff who, per Guinness World Records, owns the world's largest collection of hair from historical figures. Comparisons of the DNA tests from Kennedy and Worthington led Dr. Robert Bever of Bode labs, who oversaw the tests, to state, "It doesn't look like the [donor of the] hair could be the father of [the person who gave the sample on] the swab." A family spokesperson eventually issued a statement to Vanity Fair claiming that Evelyn had never met John F. Kennedy nor had a conversation with her son regarding his paternity. Speaking with ABC News, Worthington called the Vanity Fair story "a hack job" and claimed his mother had changed her story, saying, "If her statement is true then I have the congenital disease my father died from and my children have a 50% chance of having it. I just don't believe my mother is that cruel or stupid to have misrepresented my parentage."
