After being married for nine years, J.Crew creative director and president Jenna Lyons split from her husband to pursue a lesbian relationship.

According to the New York Post, the J.Crew head left Vincent Mazeau to be with "Courtney Crangi, 38, the business brains behind her brother, hip celebrity jeweler Philip Crangi."

Lyons rakes in about $5 million a year selling khakis and cashmere, and she's reportedly fighting with her estranged husband over their finances and custody of their son, Beckett.

Beckett appeared in a controversial ad with his mom this Summer, which featured her painting his toes pink. Well, I'm not actually sure who found that controversial, I'm guessing good ol' boys who saw the ad and said, "whut the hayl! No son o' mine's gon' be paintin' his feets with a woman color, I tell you what." Because, you know, pink is such an offensive hue.

The Post says that while the couple have reached a preliminary custody agreement, they're still figuring out a settlement that might turn over the couple's Brookyln townhouse to Mazeau. The house is gorgeous and has been featured in several magazines for its chic interior design.

An insider reveals to Page Six that the marriage between Lyons and Mazeau was over before Jenna fell for Crangi:

"After the breakup, Jenna fell in love with Courtney. The two had been close friends for some time. She and Courtney known each other for years through the fashion business. Courtney is an attractive blonde who balances working hard with her family."

Since the split, the new couple has apparently been seen hanging out in NYC's West Village. They're reportedly being "quietly open" about their new relationship.

Jenna Lyons has been praised by the likes of Oprah and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Oprah once did a "day in the life" with the J. Crew Creative Director. She appeared on one of Oprah's Dream Jobs episodes.

Obama famously wore an affordable J. Crew outfit on the Tonight Show while Sarah Palin was in the middle of her $150,000 wardrobe scandal.

"I had no idea," Lyons told Oprah, regarding the first lady wearing J. Crew. "On top of the fact that I'm a huge fan of hers in general, it was exciting, and we were honored."

At 21, Jenna landed a job at J.Crew and worked her way up to the top. One of the fashion tips she gave Oprah:

"Jewelry is an important piece. Jewelry is always something you can make a statement with."
