MADELINE: Hey, did you hear that Kimber Slately and Tristin are a major item?
LOUISE: I thought that Kimber and Shawn Asher were this year’s John and Jackie.
Louise is referring to former President John F. Kennedy (1917-63), and his wife Jacqueline “Jackie” Kennedy, nee Bouvier (1929-94). Good-looking and relatively young when Kennedy took office in 1961, they quickly became a golden couple who were popular in media culture, treated more like movie stars than a political family.
