The Spicy Way Sarah Jessica Parker Greeted JFK Jr. At The Airport During Their Brief Romance

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette had a tragic love story that ended in 1999 with the crash of the plane that JFK Jr. was piloting, where Bessette was a passenger along with her sister. But before marrying Bessette, JFK Jr., who was the most eligible bachelor in the country for a time, had a number of girlfriends. One of them was none other than actress Sarah Jessica Parker. It was 1991, and the couple were together for just six months. But reportedly, Parker once gave JFK Jr. quite the eyeful when he landed at JFK Airport in New York City.

Some details of the event were included in the 2014 book "The Good Son: JFK Jr. and the Mother He Loved" by Christopher Andersen. Parker allegedly arrived at the airport in a limousine, and it was what she was wearing that would surely have gotten his heart racing. Or rather, what she wasn't wearing. "Parker wore a mink, high heels, and — as a titillating flash of her coat revealed to John — nothing else," Andersen wrote, according to InStyle.

We could see it being a scene out of "Sex and the City," though perhaps one more likely starring Samantha, not Carrie Bradshaw — Parker's character.

Sarah Jessica Parker spoke to The New York Times in 1992 about her relationship with JFK Jr. after it ended. She referred to it as "the Kennedy fiasco," and it sounded like the glare of the spotlight was a little too intense for Parker. "We would go places where there wasn't a soul around, and the next day I'd see pictures of us there in the tabloids." And, that may have left Parker feeling overlooked. "He's a nice man, but for God's sake, I feel like I should apologize for dating him. It has become the defining factor in the person I am." 

She may have felt that way at the time, but Parker has clearly made a name for herself beyond having once been JFK Jr.'s girlfriend, as her fame exploded when she starred on "Sex and the City," starting in 1998. She and JFK Jr. also found love not long after their split. Sarah Jessica Parker met her future husband, Matthew Broderick, toward the end of 1991, and JFK Jr.'s romance with Carolyn Bessette began in 1992.
