Jackie Kennedy Onassis was initially married to John F. Kennedy, who later became the 35th President of Thr United States. After Kennedy’s assassination, Jackie married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis until her death in 1975, leaving her a widow for the second time. She also entered into a long-term relationship with Maurice Tempelsman, a Belgian-born American businessman; they were together for nearly 13 years until she died in 1994.
Recently, a new biography about her life, Jackie: Public, Private, Secret, written by J. Randy Taraborrelli, shares details about the former first lady’s brief affair with Warren Beatty—one of Hollywood’s sex symbols at the time.

However, their affair came to an end after a few months as the philanthropist deemed the Bonnie and Clyde star to be excessively self-centered. “Beatty was consumed by his own career and movies,” Taraborrelli wrote in the book. “All he wanted to do was talk about directors and producers and films, and she just wasn’t into any of that.”
She was unimpressed by Warren Beatty’s bed skills
Taraborrelli shared in an interview with People that the late former first lady was happy to end the relationship as it had taken more time than it should have. “When it was over, Jackie said it lasted two weeks longer than it should have.”
Also, it seems Weatty’s poor sexual performance also contributed to the ruins of the relationship as Jackie claimed that the actor’s performance in bed was not remarkable despite holding a longstanding reputation as a Cassanova. “Oh, he’s fine,” she confessed. “Men can only do so much, anyway.”
