Braunwyn Windham-Burke became a reality TV star practically overnight, with her 2019 debut on Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Unlike many of her castmates, she was actually a housewife — and mother to seven kids. From her 20-year marriage, to her personal struggles, we're dishing on Braunwyn's life off-camera.



Braunwyn was only 18 and still in college when she met her future husband, Sean Burke. The happy couple would go on to marry in 2000, and raise their seven children together. Two decades later, the pair were still the picture of success as they celebrated their 20th anniversary with a vow renewal in Palm Springs, California. But their relationship wasn't always as perfect as it looked.

On The Daily Dish, Braunwyn admitted that she cheated on her husband, even though they were technically separated at the time. She explained that Sean was working 25 days out of the month, and wasn't able to prioritize their family. She said,

"I just didn't want to be a single mom anymore."

Braunwyn had moved to Hawaii with her kids, and it was there that she had a casual fling with a man. But just months later, Sean flew to Hawaii to win her back — and even proposed again. She said yes.
