Tins is a Mrs., again.

Palm Beach hometown girl Tinsley Mercer Mortimer has remarried.

The 48-year old alum of "Real Housewives of New York" exchanged vows with 40-year-old Robert Bovard last weekend.

The bridegroom, a Georgia businessman, is a widower. His wife died from a brain tumor two years ago, leaving him with three young children ― a boy and two girls ― to raise. Friends say the formerly hard-partying socialite has embraced her role as a stepmother and has become a genuine homebody, living a low-profile life.

Friends also said that the wedding, which took place Nov. 11, included a "no photography" command, leading one friend to speculate that the rights to the wedding pix had been sold to one of those celebrity-centric magazines.

None of the bride's castmates from her four-year stint on RHONY was invited to the wedding.

Home again: Kevin Byrne and Will Ameringer are back from their summer digs in Paris, and report that Gay Paree ain't so much.

"Due to the craziness in the world, Paris is on high alert," Will said. "Mobs of police everywhere. It made me a bit uneasy walking Beau and Parker." (Beau and Parker are their cute but perpetually grumpy dogs.)

They stayed long enough to hit the big art fair and then headed back to the safest place on Earth.

Here. We're talking about here.

FYI: In a recent interview with GQ, bajillionaire designer-Palm Beach resident Tom Ford revealed plenty.

And we mean plenty. 

Ford told the men’s rag mag that he didn’t start wearing underwear until he was 62. The coverup was sparked by an incident with a pair of those ghastly pre-shredded jeans.

“I looked down and a (word for manly bit here) was completely out,” he said.

OK. Tee. Em. Eye.

Heard: That the death certificate for Suzanne Somers, who had at least two speaking engagements at Palm Beach charity luncheons before her demise three weeks ago, gives the cause of death as brain cancer stemming from metastatic breast cancer, which she had been battling for decades. She was 76.
