He was the father of former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill. His nickname was 'Black Jack', referring to his omnipresent dark tan and his flamboyant lifestyle.
Bouvier was born in East Hampton, New York. He was the eldest of five children born to Major John Vernou Bouvier, Jr. (1865—1948) and Maude Frances Sergeant (1870—1940). Black Jack's great-grandfather, Michel Bouvier (1792–1874), was a French cabinetmaker who left France in 1815 after the defeat of Napoleon; he settled in Philadelphia, where he opened a cabinet making or furniture shop, making fine furniture for customers including Stephen Girard and Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother who lived for a time on his estate, Point Breeze in Bordentown, New Jersey.
Michel gained his fortune later in real estate speculation. His son, Michel Charles (M.C.) Bouvier, further distinguished himself in the world offinance on Wall Street.

Black Jack's drinking, gambling, and philandering led to his divorce from his wife in 1940. He did not remarry. In 1942, Janet married Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr. Janet reportedly did not want Black Jack to escort Jacqueline down the aisle for her wedding to John F. Kennedy, so Jacqueline was instead escorted by her stepfather Auchincloss. Some reports indicate Bouvier was too intoxicated to escort his daughter, leading Auchincloss to step in to give the bride away.
