NEW YORK -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he's a 'women's lib advocate' and he and his new bride will share housework in their luxurious Manhattan co-op while working as lawyers and raising 'around five' children, it was reported.
Kennedy told People magazine he is 'the most radical women's lib advocate.'
But in the article Sunday, Emily Black Kennedy revealed a more conservative streak: 'I never considered not changing my name, just out of tradition.'
Kennedy, 28, begins work as a $20,000-a-year assistant district attorney in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau and his wife, whom he met in a law school class in 1978, plans to work as a public interest lawyer, the magazine said.
'Bobby and Emily plan to share the cleaning and cooking,' People said.
'In fact, I'm going to breast-feed our first child,' a grinning Kennedy told the magazine.
The couple will live in a co-op willed to Kennedy by millionaire LeMoyne Billings, who was John F. Kennedy's roommate at Choate and Princeton, which JFK attended briefly before going to Harvard, the magazine said.
Kennedy agrees with the decision to change his bride's name noting 'a name can be helpful in a lot of situations. And Kennedy is better than Black.'
In the interview conducted prior to their wedding Saturday in Bloomington, Ind., the couple said they would move to New York from Charlottesville, Va., when Kennedy graduates from University of Virginia law school in the spring.
Mrs. Kennedy, 24, a Protestant converting to Catholicism, said she and Kennedy each wanted to have a family the size of those they grew up in -- her parents had three children, his 11 -- so they compromised.
'We have decided on around five,' Mrs. Kennedy said.
