While it may seem counterintuitive to be on a reality show and not share anything about a current or past relationship, Jenna Lyons is sticking firm. When asked why by her castmates, she shared (via People), “Because I’ve had so much press, I am very quiet about that so I’m not sharing that.” She continued in a later scene, “My life has put me in the public eye for my job and other things I’ve done. And that is my choice. And someone does not want to be in that with me, then I have to respect that.”
Lyons didn’t share who her new love interest was, but in an interview with The New York Times, she revealed that she was dating photographer Cass Bird. According to The Cut, the pair met more than a decade ago, but reconnected after Lyons’ previous breakup. Bird told the publication of their connection, “It was laughy and silly. We hung out and were like, Yep. She is an actual mutant. Which I know you know already.” When asked if she would ever appear on “RHONY,” Bird’s answer was a firm “never.”
Although the photographer isn’t keen on showing her face on television, she and Lyons aren’t shy about posting PDA-filled pics on Instagram — so fans still get a glimpse into their sweet romance.
