Later, a producer asked Jenna about her secrecy regarding her partner’s name in previous years, to which she replied:
My life has put me in the public eye for my job and other things I’ve done. And that is my choice. And someone does not want to be in that with me, then I have to respect that.
However, Lyon confessed that she told her castmates at the end of the season of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’. She said:
The words come out of your mouth, and you’re like, I can’t take those back,” Lyons said of talking to her costars.

According to her, she didn’t have any natural talent for photography, but she liked the mechanics of it. Jenna said:
The thing that came naturally to me was the relationship. I grew up in close proximity to actors, and people who are interested in subjects, and so I guess there was a familiarity or a comfort.
The first few commercial tasks handed over to Lyon included assignments from Outfitters, Nike, and Converse. Due to her success, the photos were displayed in some of the gallery shows. Some of them were even displayed in the permanent collection in Brooklyn’s Museum.
