The "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Braunwyn Windham-Burke packed on some PDA with her new girlfriend during a beach outing.

Windham-Burke, who came out as gay earlier this month, was spotted getting cozy with the new love of her life. The reality star was photographed enjoying a romantic beach date with her girlfriend Wednesday.

In the snaps shared by Page Six, the couple couldn't get their hands off each other. In several shots, Windham-Burke and her girlfriend can be seen kissing each other, hugging one another and holding hands while walking.

The 43-year-old reality star introduced her girlfriend earlier this month after coming out as gay by sharing a photo of them together in her Instagram Story. A source confirmed to People that the woman in the picture was Windham-Burke's girlfriend named Kris. Prior to making their relationship Instagram official, the Bravo star revealed in an interview with GLAAD that she likes women.

"I like women. I'm gay," she said. "I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community. It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now. I'm so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice.”

"I'm just now starting to feel like I'm becoming the woman I'm supposed to be. I've always known it, but it took me, personally, 42 years to be comfortable in my own skin to say that," she added.

Prior to Windham-Burke’s coming out, she already shared that she was in an open marriage with her husband, Sean Burke. She also confirmed the speculations that they were no longer living together. However, she made it clear that even if they were not together, they had no plans to get a divorce.

"We are [and] we will be married forever. We have one hundred percent faith we are going to raise our kids and grandkids together," Windham-Burke explained. "That being said, do we have to fall into the social norms that everyone else does? No. We're doing it our own way. Like I said, [it's a] modern marriage.”

Meanwhile, Sean is supportive of his wife’s coming out.

"I love you. I’m proud of you. And I support you. Always," he wrote in his Instagram Story.
