Fashion publicist Jessel Taank spoke frankly about her extended intimate dry spell with husband Pavit Randhawa and struggles to have children in Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City.

“You really put it all out there,” Andy Cohen said to Jessel on Sunday in Part 1 of RHONYs Season 14 supersized double-episode reunion.

I want to start with the obvious, if you will,” Andy said to Jessel as he presided over the often surprising and sometimes rancorous sit-down with the six Housewives. “How is your sex life?”

“Much better,” said Jessel. “I mean, we’re still busy and we’re still trying to obviously find time for ourselves, but it’s much better.”

Will Jessel have another baby?

Season 14 RHONY viewers know from Jessel that she endured multiple “brutal” rounds of I.V.F. (in vitro fertilization) treatments before giving birth in May 2021 to twin sons Rio and Kai.

They also know that Jessel has entertained the idea of having another child — and that Pavit isn’t on board with the idea. At all.

“Glenda from Queens wants to know the latest with baby number three,” Andy said. Have you been able to convince Pavit?

“No,” said Jessel. “I really have to work on him. He’s so against it. I think that we’re right now just trying to find our footing. There’s a lot going on.”

Jessel brought up the notion of expanding her family during a past episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.

“My dad keeps asking me when we’re gonna have a baby girl,” she said to Pavit.

At that point, her parents didn’t know about her infertility issues, her husband pointed out, while making it clear he wasn't ready.

So while baby no. 3 has been put on the back-burner, Jessel and Pavit are currently focused on their toddlers’ pricy NYC education. That was another topic of discussion during the season brought up again at the reunion.

“Have the kids started their $35,000 a year school yet?” Andy asked.

“They started this week,” said Jessel, adding that it’s going “really well.”

See how the rest of the RHONY reunion goes with Jessel and fellow cast members Jenna Lyons, Brynn Whitfield, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy and Ubah Hassan.

Part 2 of the must-see reunion airs Sunday, Oct. 29 at 9 ET/PT on Bravo.
