2. John Kennedy Jr.
Imagine Madonna as part of the iconic and beloved Kennedy clan. If things had worked out romantically for Madonna and John Kennedy Jr., who dated in 1997, the world would surely be a different place. But what would a journalist, magazine professional, and lawyer have in common with a pop goddess anyhow (aside from a mutual physical attraction)? Plus, would the often scantily-clad Madge really fit in to the New England conservative atmosphere that surrounds the Kennedys? Sure, Kennedy Jr. paved his own path, so a little grumbling from the family at large wouldn’t necessarily sway him, but perhaps the Kennedy sensibility seeped into his mentality subconsciously. Kennedy Jr. wound up marrying the lovely Carolyn Bessette (a woman seemingly more fitting for the debonair dude), but as we all know, the two tragically perished in a plane crash, along with Bessette’s sister. May they all rest in peace, but Madonna must think of what could have been every now and again.
