“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Braunwyn Windham-Burke has introduced her girlfriend to fans after coming out as gay on Wednesday, a report said.

Despite being married to husband Sean Burke, Windham-Burke reportedly has a girlfriend and has finally revealed the mystery woman. The reality star took to Instagram Story to share a photo of her cuddling up with a woman, along with hearts and rainbow flag emojis.

An unnamed source told People that the woman is the “RHOC” star’s girlfriend, Kris. Windham-Burke has not revealed any details about her reported partner.

The photo comes just hours after Windham-Burke admitted in an interview with GLAAD that she likes women.

“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,” Windham-Burke said.

Windham-Burke explained that she has always known this, but it took her more than four decades to be able to admit it comfortably. She also credited this big move to her sobriety.

The reality star also talked about her relationship with Sean and clarified that they remain married. She added that though she loves him “dearly,” she has never been attracted to men.

Windham-Burke and her husband, who share seven kids, don’t have plans to divorce, and he understands that the “RHOC” star has a girlfriend because the woman apparently goes to their house. Moreover, she revealed that she was “interested in pursuing a relationship” with someone she met.

“Sean and I are still married, I plan on staying married. We are not sleeping in the same bedroom right now, but we are in the same house,” Windham-Burke said.

“We are raising our kids together, he's my best friend," she continued, adding that Sean knows the woman she is dating.

In the past, Windham-Burke and her husband made the headlines after revealing that they engage in threesomes. She said that the third person must be “hot” and admitted that she only wanted her husband to be in bed with her.
