Braunwyn Windham-Burke is sharing an update on her relationship with her husband, Sean Burke after it was reported that the Real Housewives of Orange County star and girlfriend Kris called it quits.
"I had a relationship with a girlfriend that was platonic, but I fell in love with her," Windham-Burke said during an appearance on the People Every Day podcast, according to Fox News.
"A lot of things were happening in my marriage at the time. Sean had someone else in our home, I had feelings for another woman, a lot of things were occurring off-camera at that time. And it basically kind of blew up," she recalled.
"Sean and I had a very good, long, honest conversation, and I was like, 'I want to be with a woman. This is what I want,'" the Bravo personality said. "We had known that I was bisexual for a long time, but some things had happened... I was sober, I was doing inventory, and I had, for the first time in my life, been with a woman, sober. ... And I was like, I'm not straight at all. I know this now."
The mother-of-seven revealed last season of RHOC that she was an alcoholic and admitted that has also taken a toll on her marriage.
"Some days have been great and some days have been really hard," she said. "We are doing our best to navigate something that I've never seen done before. We do want to stay married, we do want to stay parents, we are best friends. And some days that seems very attainable, and some days it doesn't."
As for where her marriage with Sean stands today, Braunwyn said,
"Some days have been great and some days have been really hard," she said. "We are doing our best to navigate something that I've never seen done before. We do want to stay married, we do want to stay parents, we are best friends. And some days that seems very attainable, and some days it doesn't."
"I can tell you how I am today, but yesterday was very different," she added. "Yesterday was a very hard day in our house for us. Today's a little bit better; we went on a trip and that was great. So we are navigating something in real time, and we're not making any big decisions."
Windham-Burke went public with her relationship with her girlfriend in December 2020 shortly after she came out as a lesbian. In April 2021, Braunwyn and Kris called it quits.
Windham-Burke is still married to her husband of over 20 years, Sean Burke. They share seven children: Hazel (2), Koa (4), twins Caden and Curran (7), Jacob (15), Rowan (18), and Bella (20).
