Braunwyn Windham-Burke shares an update on her family after announcing 'trail separation' from husband Sean Burke. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star got candid about the topic via her Instagram Stories.
“Aloha from paradise,” she began. “I have to say this was definitely the right choice just not getting out of town but like getting out of my head and coming here with the kids has been amazing.”
“This place is magical – we’ve been coming for decades and no matter where I’m at in life it always seems to point me back in the right direction so I’m so glad we’re here the kids are great – a lot of people have asked me how the kids are doing – the kids are great,” she said. “I have the five younger ones, the older two are home with Sean so everyone’s good you know.”
“We do a lot of phone calls, back and forth right now. Um, everyone’s happy,” she continued. “I think for all of us having this break – breaking the tension and everything has been nice and uh everyone’s flourishing so thank you guys who are asking, the kids are good.”
She added, “I know summer’s almost over – we shall see what happens but today – today’s a good day.”
Braunwyn’s update comes after she announced that she was temporarily separating from Sean after 26 years of marriage.
“We are packing up this house, the one we filmed in last year, and we are moving,” she said last month via an Instagram Live chat. “We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart.”
Braunwyn noted that she had been “looking for a home” and kept putting offers in and was getting outbid. So, she decided to make a bigger change.
“He is moving into a furnished rental for a few months and I am taking the kids to Hawaii for a while,” she explained. “We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart.
Sean added, “We’re going to see what that’s like, living apart for a little while.”
“What we would like to do is when this is over, get a house that the kids stay in and then we might go [back and forth],” the former reality star said. “We haven’t decided if, after this little experiment of having a few months apart, if we are gonna come back together and live together as friends and family, or if we’re going to just keep the kids in the house and we’ll come in and out. … We need a break. We need some space right now.”
Braunwyn added, “We made the decision that taking some time apart is a good choice. … We love each other. We are family, we are friends.”
Braunwyn came out as a lesbian in December 2020, the pair share seven children Bella (20), Rowan (18), Jacob (15), twins Curran and Caden (8), Koa (6), and Hazel (3). In June, she confirmed that she is dating former RHOC friend Fernanda Rocha.
