'I Fee Free'

Back in 2019, Braunwyn Windham-Burke was starring on The Real Housewives of Orange County with her businessman husband, Sean Burke. The seemingly perfect couple lived in a mansion with stunning ocean views, threw boozefilled parties for friends and traveled the globe with their seven children (Bella, 23, Rowan, 21, Jacob, 18, 10-year-old twins Caden and Curren, Koa, 9, and Hazel, 6).

Five years later, Windham-Burke's life couldn't look more different. In 2020, she got sober and came out as gay. She's been engaged to Jennifer Spinner since July 2022 and finalized her divorce from Sean last November following 23 years of marriage. She and Spinner left the OC and ventured to the small town of Franklin, Tenn., where they now reside in a modest townhouse after briefly living with Sean in a "nesting" situation.

It's a fresh start for the reality TV alum, who's currently working as a recovery coach and had to save for months to get a car. "I had it all, but I wasn't happy," says the 46-year-old. "Turns out I didn't want any of that. Things are really different now, but they're also really good."

Why did you leave the OC?

I was having a hard time after Real Housewives and coming out and getting sober. I went to junior high and high school in Laguna Beach. Everyone knew everything about me. I'd have panic attacks when I went to the grocery store.
