Singer-songwriter Neil Diamond kept it secret for decades, but he has finally revealed that former U.S. president John F. Kennedy's daughter was the inspiration for his smash hit song Sweet Caroline.

"I've never discussed it with anybody before — intentionally," the 66-year-old singer-songwriter told the Associated Press on Monday during a break from recording. "I thought maybe I would tell it to Caroline when I met her someday."

How old would she have been when he wrote it?

Wow, she would have been 11, going on 12.
