Jackie two-timed Bobby and Greek tycoon

After JFK`s assassination, Jacqueline two-timed Bobby and Aristotle Onassis.

London: After her husband US President John F Kennedy`s assassination, Jacqueline was two-timing his brother Bobby and Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis as she believed that only the latter could give her the comforts and protection she wanted, a new book has revealed.According to the `Bobby and Jackie`, for three years, JFK`s widow had conducted a parallel affair with Onassis, one of the few men whom she believed could bankroll her lifestyle and protect her children -- a relationship which her brother- in-law was very much aware of.

Ken O`Donnell, one of JFK`s closest aides, said that Bobby was however concerned that if Jackie`s affair with Onassis became public, it`d hinder his presidential ambitions. "They couldn`t marry, so eventually she would marry somebody else. He (Bobby) also understood that she was super- high maintenance. She could marry virtually anyone, but there weren`t many men around who could afford to take her on," the `Daily Mail` quoted O`Donnell as saying in the book. In fact, though the Greek tycoon was pressing Jackie to marry him, she had assured Bobby there would be no formal engagement until after the November 1968 election -- she was a crucial part of his campaign as a symbol of Kennedy dynasty, the author C David Heymann wrote. However, eventually, that agreement was overtaken by another sickening chapter in America`s political history when Bobby was assassinated on June 5, 1968. "I hate this country. I despise America and I don`t want my children to live here any more. If they`re killing Kennedys, my kids are number one targets. I want to get out," Jackie told former White House Press secretary Pierre Salinger after Bobby`s funeral. Jackie`s intention could not have been more blatant had she placed a marriage announcement on the front page of `The New York Times`. In a sense, her decision to marry the Greek tycoon had been made at Bobby`s grave. After much haggling over a prenuptial agreement, Jacqueline and Onassis married in October 1968 on Skorpios, the shipping tycoon`s private Greek island. Jackie`s rather inappropriate wedding present to him was a watch that once belonged to JFK. Bureau Report
