Now that Jenna Lyons is out and proud, she’s been dating around. According to an episode of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” she was set up on a date with “Schitt’s Creek” star Emily Hampshire several years ago. “We didn’t have a love connection, but we had a friend connection,” Lyons recalled in a confessional interview. “Emily’s been one of my biggest supporters.”
Nowadays, they remain great friends. In 2022, Hampshire posted an Instagram photo to mark Pride Month. “#happypride NYC,” she wrote. “I’ve moved into @jennalyonsnyc closet.” The photo shows Hampshire reclining on a couch, sandwiched between Lyons’ massive shelves of shoes. (The “closet” metaphor, of course, seems tongue in cheek.)
Hampshire has also spoken about the former J. Crew boss on the “In Her Words” podcast (via YouTube), sharing that her friend taught her how to be more confident. Hampshire said she’s even encouraged Lyons to write a self-help book, warning her, “If you don’t wanna write a book, I’m just gonna, like, print out our texts.” Lyons is now helping Hampshire with a home renovation, though Hampshire said that she initially didn’t feel confident verbalizing her own wants and needs. “I think just that fundamental thing of feeling entitled to what I want, as a woman, wasn’t instilled in me,” Hampshire reflected. Now that she’s got Lyons in her corner, of course, all of that has changed.
