‘Real Housewives Of Orange County’ Spoilers: Braunwyn Windham-Burke And Sean Burke Are Happy With Their Open Relationship
When speaking to Us Weekly, Braunwyn confirmed that she wants to continue to have an open marriage despite the criticism that has been revelled at her: “We do want to stay together. We want to have an open marriage, and we want to be able to do it honestly. And, you know, not have our feelings hurt. I am very open with him. You know, I have big fears of abandonment for how I was, was a child.
“So my jealousy, my things we’re working on, that I know they’re not great. We’re working on them so that we can get to, you know, a healthy place. And I do think we’re going to get there.” However, does Sean feel the same way? According to Braunwyn, he understands which is why they are both still so comfortable. She said:
“I really do, because we have the communication, we have the trust, great therapist and we both have the similar goal for our future, which is sitting there in Hawaii, watching our grandkids play.” And the kids have been central to that as the couple share seven children, Bella, 20, Rowan, 18, Jacob, 15, twins Caden and Curren, 7, Koa, 5, and Hazel, 2.
It has been this sense of security that they have felt, which has kept the marriage together as Braunwyn revealed: “We’ve been together 26 years. We’ve been together since we were children. “And I think that people kind of forget that it’s not just that we’re married, we’ve been together since we were kids. We are family. We are each other’s people. We are closer to each other than anyone else.
“Would that hurt? I’m not talking about losing the marriage; I’m talking about losing my best friend, my person that’s been with me since I was 18. So yes, I would be heartbroken,” she said. “Does that say that I don’t want to be happy? Of course, I do. I think it would be weird if I wasn’t heartbroken if my husband of 26 years fell in love with someone else.”
