Gov. Maura Healey said Friday she plans to start disclosing her out-of-state travel again, but only upon request and after the fact at the end of each month, a decision that reverses course on her policy of not telling the public when she was leaving the state on personal time.

Healey has faced criticism and questions in the past week after a four-day trip last month surfaced into the public view well after she had taken it and aides declined to say where the governor went.

Healey spokesperson Karissa Hand said Healey was in Puerto Rico on a birthday trip with her partner, Joanna Lydgate. Future out-of-state trips “will be available to media upon request in her calendar at the end of each month,” Hand said.

“The governor’s focus is on balancing the need to protect the privacy and security of her family while also providing information to the public. Last month, the governor’s partner, Joanna Lydgate, took her to Puerto Rico for a long weekend for her birthday – their first vacation together in a long time,” Hand said in a statement.

Healey last fall said her office would stop telling the public when she was traveling out of state because of “security concerns,” which, at the time, was a break from the governor’s own initial policy and that of her immediate predecessor, former Gov. Charlie Baker.

At an unrelated event earlier this week, Healey defended her decision to not inform the public where she was going when leaving the state.

“I continue to provide details about all of my work-related travel. I’ve also said that my personal life is my personal life and I’m going to work to make sure that privacy is maintained for my family,” she told reporters.
