She revealed that she was gay in December after having her first sober solo experience with another woman.
And now Braunwyn Windham-Burke has admitted that she would ‘be heartbroken’ if her husband Sean Burke were to start dating other women during a lengthy Q&A session posted to her Instagram Stories on Saturday.
The 42-year-old Real Housewives Of Orange County star also said she hoped to stay married for the time being, though she wasn’t sure how long their relationship could last.
Hard to move on: Braunwyn Windham-Burke, 42, admitted Saturday in an Instagram Q&A that she would ‘be heartbroken’ if her husband Sean Burke started dating other women after she came out as gay in December
Braunwyn made the admission about Sean potentially dating after a fan asked, ‘Will you be ok if Sean ends up falling in love with someone else and decides to try w/them?’
‘Nope, I’ll be heartbroken,’ she replied, while sharing a steamy photo of herself in gold sequined gown that showcased her toned and tanned legs as her black-clad husband kisses her neck.
Another fan suggested she was a hypocrite for dating a 28-year-old woman named Kris while not wanting her husband to date others.
‘That’s why we’re in therapy,’ she replied. ‘We are working through this. We can’t figure this out on our own. This is a lot… This is hard and we’re working it out.’
Braunwyn added that she was ‘kind of a jealous’ person and said those feelings were ‘actually the biggest thing we’re working on in therapy.’
Up in the air: Sean was next to Braunwyn in bed as she answered questions and he jumped in to add that he would ‘probably’ start dating other people. ‘Don’t know when, though,’ he added

The reality star also clarified how she came to the realization that she was a lesbian and not actually bisexual, attributing her sobriety to clarifying her feelings.
‘I had my first sober experience with someone I care about (alone) and I came home and told Sean…ya, I’m not straight,’ she wrote. ‘It was like “So this is what it’s supposed to be like.”‘

She was playful in another written post, in which she shared a closeup of her and Sean.
‘How is it that Sean is the current hottest OC husband?’ the user asked, to which she replied, ‘He is a catch ;).’

As for other Housewives her husband might hypothetically date, she though Eboni K. Williams might be his type, though he usually prefers ‘fun people that are crazy and say whatever’ like Brandi Glanville or Leah McSweeney.
Braunwyn and Sean have been married for two decades and have a big family with seven children: Bella, 20, Rowan, 18, Jacob, 15, twins Caden and Curran, seven, Koa, four, and Hazel, two.
According to her, Bella, the oldest, was ‘having a hard time’ with her parents still living together after Braunwyn came out, though her youngest children still ‘don’t know.’
