Bertha Hildegard Elly Rometsch (a.k.a. Ellen Rometsch, September 19, 1936 in Kleinitz, then in Germany, since 1945 in Poland) is a German former model who was the wife of a West German diplomat. In the United States, allegations circulated during the early 1960s that she was an East German spy assigned under diplomatic cover to the West German embassy in Washington. During that time, Rometsch was thought in some Washington journalism circles to have been a mistress of President John F. Kennedy. However, the FBI conducted an investigation and dismissed claims that Rometsch was a spy or that she has had relations with President Kennedy.
