Julie is also known for her relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr. The two met in 1989 through Kennedy's close friend Billy Way. They had their first date on February 1990, at an Andrew Dice Clay stand-up show in New York. At the time, Kennedy was still dating Christina Haag. Their relationship became public shortly after, and Julie and JFK Jr. were frequently spotted together at social events. In November 1990, Julie attended his 30th birthday celebration, and the following year, the two made headlines again when they attended a Halloween party together. Their relationship was on and off for several years, and they were often described as having a "friends with benefits" dynamic. Despite their romantic involvement, the two maintained a close connection. By Spring 1992, the relationship had ended, but they continued to remain in each other's lives. Julie was often compared to Kennedy's mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, due to her resemblance. In September 1994, two years after their breakup and shortly after JFK Jr.'s breakup with Daryl Hannah, Julie and JFK Jr. were spotted having lunch together in New York, just before he began his relationship with Carolyn Bessette. Julie and Kennedy were rumored to continue an on-and-off relationship as friends with benefits until his tragic death in 1999.
