Lind was uncomfortable with how relentless and tacky Barnum's marketing of her was, and so she split with him and then continued the tour on her own, for nearly a year. Aside from one self-published romantic novel I found on Google Books, there is no indication that Lind and Barnum ever had a romantic relationship.
Lind uses the kiss as her chance to say goodbye and continue her tour without him, as she knows he was returning home. The photo of the two kissing is soon published in newspapers across the country and is soon found by Charity Barnum, impacting her and Barnum's relationship.

She never loses that desire to become a bird, but instead of realizing her ambition of becoming "a singer like Joan Baez," poor Jenny just makes one bad decision after another: posing nude, then singing nude, then dating an abusive guy, then boarding a hippie bus to California (like that's going to end well), then ...
