She revealed as much while gushing about her relationship — as well as her bond with Cass' mom, Nancy — during a visit to Bravo HQ in September.

As Jenna explained in her interview (which you can check out in the video above), "I'm in a relationship, and that has been great. My life is great. I mean, I'm very happy. [Cass is] adorable and fun, and she's a photographer. So, she wants to be behind the camera and not in front of it, so you won't necessarily see her. But her mom appears on the show, which was literally the most fun I've had It was one of my best moments of the entire season. She's straight out of central casting... so cute."

Like Jenna said, viewers have yet to formally meet Cass on RHONY, but Nancy did pop up on the Season 15 premiere to chat with Jenna and newbie Racquel Chevremont.

"Nancy is my girlfriend Cass's mother, and this visit is the first time she and I have ever met," Jenna said in an interview on the episode. "She's been funny and lovely and sharing stories about Cass. It's been — it's been awesome."

Who is Jenna Lyons' girlfriend, Cass Bird?

The former president of J. Crew has been dating Cass since 2023. Jenna hinted that she may have gotten engaged to Cass on Instagram in September 2023, and she further fueled speculation when appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen the following month.

At the time, Jenna said, "I just really... so, basically, here is the story: My girlfriend, who I adore, kept telling me that I had to button my shirt. And I said, ‘If you want me to button my shirt, you have to put a ring on it.'"

Fast-forward about 11 months, and Jenna teased that she may have already married Cass when she went to the WWHL Clubhouse again. Andy, more specifically, asked the fashionista if she had made any wedding plans since getting engaged. 

"Well maybe I don't need to get married," Jenna said coyly. "Maybe I already did."

"So did you?" Andy wondered. 

"Well, maybe," Jenna teased.
