While only three episodes of the Real Housewives of New York reboot have officially dropped so far, several cast members are already grabbing plenty of screen time and generating a lot of big Qs from fans. For starters, what is “dreamy coffee” and which restaurant were they talking about during the premiere? But most importantly, viewers want to know a lot more about the one and only Jenna Lyons.

Jenna has made it clear that she’s “not like the other housewives,” but that hasn’t stopped the Manhattan socialite from getting caught up in her fair share of drah-ma. At 55, Jenna is the oldest housewife and she has a really interesting backstory. And of course, she pulls off her scenes with a classic, mysterious vibe, leaving everyone wanting more. The other housewives seem pretty intrigued by their co-star, too, from Brynn Whitfield and Erin Dana Lichy’s decision to try on her shoes in her massive closet, to their confusion at her refusal to spend the night during the Hamptons girls’ trip.

So, if you’ve heard Jenna’s name before and are wracking your brain trying to remember, “who is Jenna Lyons, again?” you’re definitely not alone. Here’s everything you need to know about her:

What is Jenna Lyons’ job?

This Housewife has been a big figure in the fashion world since way back in 2010, when she was named executive creative director and president of J.Crew. She held the position until 2017, popularizing the high-low style and daytime sequins, and making J.Crew a little more hip, per The New York Times.

Jenna left the public eye for a bit, then reemerged to host a design competition show on Max in 2020 before disappearing again. It wasn’t until someone suggested she take a spot on The Real Housewives of New York in 2022 that she decided to head back into the limelight, the Times says.

She talks about her incontinentia pigmenti on the show.

During episode 2, Jenna briefly opens up to the other women about her genetic disorder, called incontinentia pigmenti, which causes skin scarring. The condition, also known as Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, can also lead to hair loss and small or missing teeth, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Jenna shared on The View earlier this month that the condition has led to hair loss. “All my teeth are fake. I paid a lot of money for them,” she said. “My hair is also fake. I can take it off. It’s like a hat. It’s not a wig. My eyelashes are fake. I have no eyebrows, and I also have scars all over my skin.”

Who is her ex-husband?

Jenna Lyons’ ex-husband is Vincent Mazeau, an artist who started an art direction company with friends. Vincent has worked as an artistic director and set designer, according to People.

He was a stay-at-home dad when the couple split, per People. Their divorce was messy, according to Page Six. Jenna started seeing Courtney Crangi, who was described as “the business brains behind her brother, hip celebrity jeweler Philip Crangi.” Apparently, Jenna and Vincent also sparred over finances.

Who is she dating now?

Jenna and Crangi eventually split, and the Housewife is now reportedly seeing photographer Cass Bird. However, when the other cast members asked her to spill the deets on her relationship during episode 2, she made it clear that she wants to keep her current relationship out of the spotlight.

What’s Jenna’s net worth?

It’s not entirely clear. Online sources put her at anywhere from $1 million to $5 million, but it could be higher. It is clear that she owns a house in the Hamptons, and lives in a beautiful loft apartment in the trendy SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan, so she probably is doing quite well for herself. Jenna bought the loft in 2013 for $6 million, per Curbed. Oh, and she also told Architectural Digest that her fave bedsheets cost over $1,100, so there’s that.

You’ll have to stay tuned for more as Jenna’s life is revealed on the RHONY season 14 reboot.
