RHOC’s Braunwyn Windham-Burke splits from girlfriend Kris after five months
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke is a single lady again after splitting up with her girlfriend of five months.
The Bravo star – who just came out as a lesbian after 20 years of marriage – and her partner Kris reportedly called it quits last month, according to E! News.
Braunwyn became the first out lesbian Real Housewife in the franchise last year after she revealed her sexuality in December.
The reality star remains married to Sean Burke and thus far, the two have not announced a formal legal split.
In an interview with GLAAD, she explained: ‘It’s been something that I think everyone’s kind of known has been coming, but I’m finally comfortable enough to say, I like women. I’m gay. I’m a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m a lesbian.
‘It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now. I’m so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice.’
Braunwyn, who got sober last year, explained that the decision to come out began with a scene on Real Housewives, in which she kissed castmate Tamra Judge.
The star, who joined RHOC in season 14, suggested that their generation has a different outlook on sexuality, while her son Jacob has done drag.
Following the interview, her husband Sean showed his support on Instagram, writing: ‘I love you. I’m proud of you. And I support you. Always.’
The TV star and Sean share seven children.
