'Real Housewives Of Orange County' — Braunwyn Windham-Burke And Sean Burke

Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Sean Burke's relationship was among the longest-running on the Bravo reality show. The pair had spent over 26 years together and shared seven kids. Sadly, the reality stars parted ways in July 2021.

Although the split should have been a surprise given the length of the affair, fans were not really shocked for a reason. In the last month of 2020, Braunwyn had come out as a lesbian. She was tired of keeping that part of her life closeted and wanted to breathe the fresh air of openness.

As reported by Us Weekly, the official statement from Braunwyn read, "We have not decided if after this little experiment of having a few months apart we are gonna come back together and live together as friends and family. Or if we are going to keep the kids in the house and we will come in and out," she told the news outlet.

"We need a break; we need some space right now."
