Wedding bells may soon be ringing for “Real Housewives of New York” star Jenna Lyons — and there’s no better time for a fresh storyline since the new season recently premiered.

The ex J. Crew executive confirmed her engagement to photographer Cass Bird during an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of “Sherri.”

 

 

Sherri Shepherd chatted up Lyons and new “RHONY” castmate Racquel Chevremont regarding their engagement rings, noticing the rocks on both of their fingers.

“I think you did well, Jenna — if that is an engagement ring,” the talk show host quipped.

“Yes, yes!” Lyons replied, showing off her massive diamond. “When we were in the [jewelry] store, I was like, ‘That one is not big enough. Let’s [keep looking].’”

As for when the couple will get hitched, the future bride said they’re “working on that.”

Lyons first revealed that she and Bird were dating in a New York Times article in June 2023. The pair sparked engagement chatter that fall with an attention-grabbing social media post in which Lyons was wearing what many assumed to be an engagement ring.

Lyons was previously married to artist and set designer Vincent Mazeau from 2002 to 2011. The former couple share son Beckett Lyons Mazeau, born in 2006.

Amid divorce proceedings, Lyons was outed in the press after being seen in public with a woman.

“I was so overwhelmed with everything that was happening in my life that I just said yes,” Lyons recalled on “The View” about being publicly confronted about her sexuality.

The fashionista is recognized as the first openly gay female lead on the Bravo franchise. Chevremont, who also identifies as gay, is engaged to forensic neuropsychologist Mel Corpus.

Lyons joins Chevremont, Brynn Whitfield, Ubah Hassan, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank for the new season of the remixed series, which kicked off on Oct. 1.
