Owen Patrick Kennedy was born in 2012, the son of Patrick J. Kennedy II and Amy Petitgout Kennedy. He is the grandson of Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Joan Bennett Kennedy, and a member of the fourth generation of one of America's most consequential political families. His father, Patrick J. Kennedy, served sixteen years as a U.S. Representative from Rhode Island and is a leading national advocate for mental health and addiction policy.

Owen, along with his siblings Harper and Nora, represents the newest chapter of a dynasty that has shaped American politics, law, and culture for nearly a century.
