Kennedy Jnr. for the love of a woman. For the first time, Michael reveals the truth behind a life in the limelight and a relationship shrouded in controversy. From his early days as a short, bully magnet, to his lean years trying to make it in modelling, to his meteoric rise to fashion icon, Michael's journey has been tough and his victories hard-won. Never before has a male model of Michael's stature revealed the hardships, sacrifice, and wild adventures that make up a day in the life a male supermodel. Michael's private life has been scrutinized as eagerly as his Times Square billboard ever was. In the late '80s, Michael saw a woman at a bar and fell in love. But it is not your everyday love story - the girl was Carolyn Bessette, the woman who would marry JFK Jr.;Michael and Carolyn had a passionate relationship that was so intense that not even her marriage to an American prince could come between them.
