REAL Housewives of New York star Jenna Lyons has been spotted back on public displays of affection with her girlfriend, Cass Bird.
After previously vowing to keep her relationship away from the television screen, Jenna, 56, has made a PDA U-turn with her smooching with her girlfriend in public.
RHONY star Jenna was seen passionately kissing Cass, 50, in New York City this week.
PACKING ON THE PDA
The love birds donned matching outfits as they kissed each other in full view of the world, and of course, paparazzi.
Both Jenna and Cass wore light blue denim garments and bright white sweatshirts for their outing.
Jenna rocked long denim jeans with Cass rocking denim cut-offs, and adding a green and white baseball cap to finish off her look.
The couple appeared to be more loved up than ever before with them embracing one another, kissing and laughing as they wandered through the city.
At one point, Jenna even touched her girlfriend’s bum, with them looking in love and playful on their day out in the Big Apple.
KEEPING THINGS UNDER WRAPS
Jenna went public with her romance with Cass back in June 2023 when she spoke to The New York Times.
“I have a relationship, but I would like to not name her,” she previously told the outlet. “I want to keep her out of the press. That is my commitment to her.”
At the time she also affirmed, “It’s off the table. I joined this process. She did not.”
And in that same interview, Jenna also made it clear that she doesn’t care if her cast mates don’t agree with her decision.
FAN BACKLASH ON DECISION
At the time, fans and critics of RHONY headed to social media to discuss Jenna’s decision.

“That’s not fair because every other housewife has to show the good the bad and the ugly so why does she get special treatment?” one fan asked on Reddit, adding, “She got to go! The other housewives will not stand for it.”
Someone else then chimed in with, “Don’t be on a tv show about your life and not share your life.”
“Great, so a housewife who won’t even give us the bare minimum of her actual life,” penned a third.
And a fourth person added, “I don’t think that should be an option if you’re a housewife. Kids, sure, that’s ok I’d rather they not be exploited for content. But your love life? That’s what you’re signing up for.”

2011 DIVORCE
Jenna was previously married to Vincent Mazeau, with whom she shares a son named Beckett.
She followed the 2011 divorce with a romance that shocked many in her circle, including her family: she began dating Courtney Crangi, co-founder of the jewelry company Giles & Brother.
She told Elle UK that she had kept the relationship (and her sexuality) a secret until the New York Post exposed her for dating a woman.
