Lee Harvey Oswald had two daughters with his wife Marina: June (born 1962) and Audrey Marina Rachel, usually called Rachel (born October 1963).

Quick answer

Oswald’s daughters were raised by their mother, largely under a new surname, and went on to build quiet adult lives with families and careers of their own, while occasionally speaking out about the burden of being “the assassin’s children.”

Their childhood after 1963

  • After Oswald was killed in November 1963, Marina was a 22‑year‑old widow with a toddler (June) and a newborn (Rachel).
  • In the chaotic months that followed, she was interrogated by investigators and surrounded by massive media attention, which inevitably affected the children’s early years.
  • Marina later remarried a Texas man, Kenneth Porter, and the girls grew up using the surname Porter in an attempt to have a more normal life and deflect attention.
  • Even with the name change, they dealt with stigma at school, intrusive questions, and occasional harassment connected to their father’s notoriety.

When they learned who their father was

  • For much of their early childhood, the girls were not fully told that Lee Harvey Oswald was their father; Marina tried to shield them from the truth.
  • As they grew older, Marina eventually explained who he was and what he had been accused of, which helped them make sense of reporters, news cameras, and strange reactions from strangers over the years.
  • That revelation became a psychological turning point, forcing both sisters to process not only the loss of a father they didn’t really know, but also his infamy.

Their adult lives

  • June entered professional life and, by most accounts, built a relatively conventional career and family, living under the radar as much as possible.
  • She has occasionally given interviews (for example in the 1990s) describing anxiety, social difficulties, and the constant shadow of her father’s name, but she has not sought ongoing public attention.
  • Rachel has maintained an even more private profile, but has also spoken at times (including a well‑known magazine profile) about the trauma of growing up as “Oswald’s daughter” and her frustration with conspiracy theories and tabloid myths about the family.
  • Both women have advocated more for truth and declassification of JFK‑related records than for personal publicity, and they have focused on raising their own families away from the spotlight.

Where they are now / “latest news”

  • As of recent coverage, June and Rachel are believed to be living private lives, not public figures, and contemporary material about them tends to be retrospective—documentaries, explainer videos, and historical pieces about “what happened to Lee Harvey Oswald’s daughters.”
  • These accounts emphasize that they have tried to move on: normal jobs, family life, and minimal media engagement, while still occasionally being sought out whenever the JFK assassination returns to public discussion.
  • Precise details about their current locations, families, or day‑to‑day lives are generally kept private and are not widely published, partly out of respect for their safety and desire for anonymity.
