Cass Bird also revealed how she feels seeing her girlfriend, Jenna Lyons, become popular on The Real Housewives Of New York City.
Although we’re seeing Jenna Lyons go through a breakup onscreen Jenna has a smile on her face again these days, and it’s all due to photographer Cass Bird.
The Real Housewives of New York City cast member made her new romance public at the end of July, showing off her romantic trip with Cass Bird in the Mediterranean on social media.
Jenna and Cass are now clearing up the timeline of their relationship to The Cut, sharing they met between Season 14 of the show being filmed and it starting to air in July.
