Over the last few decades, the White House has been home to several "first kids."
While their parents tried to keep them out of the spotlight as much as possible, the public can't help but be invested in their lives.
From what they wear to who they're friends with, nothing is off-limits.
After spending a few years growing up in the public eye, the first families try to lay low and protect their privacy once their time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is up.
As we become fascinated with the incoming President and their family, we tend to forget about the former first kids.
Here's what some of the most popular first kids are up to today.
1. Caroline Bouvier Kennedy
When the beloved John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, he left behind a young daughter, Caroline, and a son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Jr.
Three months before his death, President Kennedy and Jackie O's youngest child, Patrick, was born premature, then died after 39 hours.
In 1999, 38-year-old JFK Jr. was hit by the Kennedy curse and the small plane he was piloting crashed on the way to Martha's Vineyard, killing him instantly.
His older sister Caroline is the only surviving member of JFK's immediate family.
After the death of her father, six-year-old Caroline had to move multiple times. Her family first moved to their home in Georgetown then to New York's Upper East Side.
Following her high school graduation in 1975, she worked for a bit then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University five years later. She then considered becoming a photojournalist.
Having previously worked as a photographer's assistant at the 1975 Olympics in Austria as well as a summer intern at the New York Daily News, Caroline realized that she couldn't take photos of other people "because they were too busy watching her."
She eventually earned a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School, and was hired as a research assistant for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That's where she met her husband, Edwin Schlossberg.
Caroline and Edwin wed in 1986, and have since welcomed three children: Rose, Tatiana Celia, and John Bouvier, also known as Jack.
Over the years, she has worked as an attorney as well as the director of the Office of Strategic Partnerships for the NYC Department of Education.
From 2013 to 2017, she served as the United States Ambassador to Japan under the Obama administration. She resigned shortly before Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
Caroline is also a published author. She has co-written two books, edited four New York Times best-sellers, as well as two collections of poetry and personal notes from her family's collection.
