Braunwyn Windham-Burke isn’t the only person in her marriage who is dating.
Over a month after the Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, 43, confirmed she is a lesbian and stepped out with girlfriend Kris, 29, her husband, Sean Burke, has been spotted with his new girlfriend, who he’s reportedly “smitten” with.
On January 15, the Daily Mail shared photos of 47-year-old Sean and his yet-to-be-identified girlfriend enjoying a lunch date at Jan’s Health Bar in Newport Beach, California, where Sean reportedly got “handsy” with the mystery woman.
“He was with this girl making out, he was grabbing her a** and he was really handsy. They were very up against each other, hanging out,” an insider revealed, noting that Sean and his girlfriend have been dating for “at least” two months.

According to the report, Braunwyn, who shares seven children with Sean, spoke about Sean’s partner during the December taping of the RHOC reunion.
“It came up during the reunion that there was a woman [Braunwyn] found at home, with him [Sean] – sleeping in his bed. [Braunwyn] was telling the other girls that she’s done with Sean and she doesn’t want to be with him,” the source alleged. “[Braunwyn] also said she was never, ever attracted to him. Even though they’ve had seven kids together and have been together 26 years.”
“Imagine saying that to your husband and father of your children. She was pushing all of his buttons – I’m going to live my way, my way, my way. But you are still going to be at my beck and call and you are not going to be able to live the way you want to live,” the insider continued. “The other girls are disgusted with the things she was saying about her husband. There were huge fights about how can you do this to somebody?”
The source also noted that while it was Braunwyn who wanted to stay in an “open marriage” with Sean, they aren’t on as good of terms with one another as she leads on.
“She has made herself notorious on the show but has nothing to show for it – all she’s done is destroy her family. And now he has this other woman. She kind of positioned their open relationship to be her thing but she’s now realized you can’t do it that way because he is a man and he is going to move on. He is a good guy and she can be so intense, she’s not always a person you want to be around.”
During a recent interview, Braunwyn admitted that while she’s committed to Kris at the moment, she would be completely “heartbroken” if Sean were to fall in love and move on with another woman.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 15 reunion begins airing next Wednesday, January 20, at 9/8c on Bravo.
