Braunwyn Windham Burke's marriage has left everybody feeling puzzled. The housewife recently came out as a lesbian on Season 15 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County'. While fans were happy for the housewife, they were however concerned for her husband Sean Windham Burke. On the show, Braunwyn and Sean were shown constantly fighting with each other, as the housewife felt that her husband wasn't putting in enough effort into their marriage, and was more attached to his phone than her. Sean was unhappy with Braunwyn's girlfriend Shari moving in with them. 

The season ended with Braunwyn admitting that she loved both Sean and Shari, and wasn't in any hurry to figure out things and was just going with the flow. Although her fellow housewives pointed out how she was being selfish by not taking her husband's feelings into consideration while she was making big life decisions, the housewife continued to shut them all down by saying she was on her sobriety journey and would figure things out at her own pace, on her own time.

Since reunion is the perfect platform to clear up the air, Sean was brought onto the stage and the housewives got to question him about their marriage, and his feelings towards it. But before they could express their empathy towards him, Andy Cohen jumped in and asked Braunwyn about her attraction towards women. The housewife then revealed that she always knew that she was attracted to women, but just never acted on it. Andy followed up her response by asking the housewife if she was physically attracted to men. The housewife immediately said no. He then asked if she was physically attracted to her husband, Sean. The housewife kept quiet for a long time, while the other ladies were appalled at her silence. The housewife then reluctantly admitted that she wasn't attracted to her husband physically.

Sean expressed how he felt hurt on hearing it and declared that it was heartbreaking for him to hear that. Although, he seemed supportive of his wife finding a new partner, and being happier than ever. The couple kept reiterating that they were still best friends and would remain married, and were trying out open marriage. When the other housewives suggested divorce, both of them were unwilling to even consider that option. Braunwyn, in fact, shared that Shari and she stopped talking because she kept pushing the housewife to leave Sean for her and Braunwyn wasn't ready to leave her husband.
