Even Jenna Lyons can’t believe she’s the one housewife Rihanna loves the most.

Jenna Lyons gets stuck in her latex bodysuit: 'My worst nightmare'

“Time of death was like 3:45 when I found out,” Jenna joked to E! News at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 15, streaming now on Amazon Prime Video. “Evan Ross Katz texted me and he’s like ‘Have you seen this?’” 

As she noted, “I can’t believe Rihanna actually knows my name. I’m like dead, deceased.” (For more from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, watch E! News tonight Oct. 16 at 11 p.m.)

Jenna, 56, is part of the newly revamped cast of RHONY which also includes Sai De SilvaErin LichyUbah HassanJessel Tank and Brynn Whitfield. Season 15 introduced newbies Racquel Chevremont and Rebecca Minkoff—who has joined as a friend.

As for Rihanna—who has been unapologetic about her love for the Housewives franchises—she revealed her love for the former J. Crew creative director has officially topped the list.

"Jenna Lyons,” the 36-year-old superstar told E! News on Oct. 10 when asked her about current favorite housewife. "I don’t want to be generalized, but I love her!"

The Savage X Fenty founder admitted that she “dies” for the new RHONY cast—which was introduced during season 14—noting at the time, "People don't really appreciate their flight.”

But that’s not all, as she shared she’s also a big fan of another franchise.

"Always Salt Lake City," she admitted. "They had such a swinging opening season that knocked me off my feet."

And the “SOS” singer’s love for the women of Utah was instant.

"Because it takes a while to get used to or know who the characters are really, truly,” she added. “They just knocked it out of the park. You never know what's coming wit them."

And this wouldn’t the first time that Rihanna revealed she always has Housewives on the brain. In fact, in April, the Grammy winner admitted to E! News that along with “my kids” the Bravo reality TV show are her obsessions.
