J. Crew's Jenna Lyons Comes Out Gay

J. Crew President and Creative Director Jenna Lyons has come out gay.

Lyons quietly slipped out of the closet when she thanked her partner
Courtney Crangi for showing her “new love” in accepting Glamour's
“Fashion Original” title at the glossy's Women of the Year awards on
Monday.

Speculation in the tabloids over Lyon's sexual orientation reached a
fever pitch amid her divorce from artist Vincent Mazeau. The couple,
married 9 years, were often included in J. Crew catalogs along with
their son, Beckett.

A J. Crew layout featuring Beckett with his feet in his mother's lap,
his toenails painted hot pink, stirred controversy last year. Under
the headline “Quality Time,” Lyons is quoted: “Lucky for me, I ended
up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way
more fun in neon.” Conservatives attacked the ad, calling it “blatant
propaganda celebrating transgender children.”

In her acceptance speech, Lyons thanked her son “for reminding me that
the world revolves around him every day” and “Courtney, who has shown
me new love.”
