A former Central Intelligence Agency operative is sharing intel on her dating life.

As an agent, Brittany Butler Jennings kept her job title top secret, vetting her love interests before disclosing her work to avoid raising “too many eyebrows.”

The Charleston, South Carolina, resident, who worked at the CIA for nine years, called her job “a unique aspect” of her life, finding that it wasn’t too difficult to keep it under wraps during the first few weeks of dating.

“In the early stages, I generally kept my job description vague, mentioning I was a government consultant. The details only became more specific when absolutely necessary,” Jennings, 40, told Newsweek.
