Born Janet Norton Lee in Manhattan, New York City, she was the middle daughter of James Thomas Aloysius Lee (1877 –1968), a lawyer and real estate developer, and Margaret A. Merritt (1878-1943). Her parents were both of Irish descent. She had two sisters; Marion Norton Lee (1906 – 1947), who married John J. Ryan Jr., and Winifred Norton Lee (1912 – 1991), who married Franklin d'Olier.

Her first husband was John Vernou Bouvier III. They married in 1928 and had two daughters: Jacqueline Lee Bouvier (1929–1994) and Caroline Lee Bouvier (born 1933). Bouvier's womanizing and drinking led to a separation in 1936, a brief reconciliation for a few months in 1937, and then a divorce in 1940.

Her second husband in 1942 was Hugh Dudley Auchincloss Jr., an attorney and Standard Oil heir; she was his third wife. They had two children: Janet Jennings Auchincloss (1945 – 1985) and James Lee Auchincloss (born 1947).
Her third marriage, after Auchincloss's death in 1976, was to childhood friend Bingham Morris in 1979. They separated in 1981 but remained married until her death from complications arising from Alzheimer's disease in 1989.
