Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Sean Burke are officially divorced
Braunwyn Windham-Burke and her estranged husband of one year, Sean Burke settled their divorce on Friday.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum told People on the same day,
“Today feels like the first day of the rest of my life,”
“You know, you go your whole life with everyone telling you what you need to do to be happy. And it gets to a certain point where you say, ‘No, actually — this is what I want to do.”
The former Bravo star continued,
“I’m going to live for me.’ And I’m thrilled that at 45 years old, I get a second chance to live for me.”
Sean and Braunwyn were married for over 23 years and share seven kids: Bella, 23, Rowan, 21, Jacob, 17, twins Caden and Curren, 10, Koa, 8, and Hazel, 5.
The news of the divorce finalization came less than two weeks after Sean requested a reduction in the child support amount he needed to pay his ex-wife. He claimed that she was only with their minor kids 1/3 of the time because of her personal vacations.
He wrote in the documents,
“I have relied on [Sean] for all financial security since I was 20 years old,”
“I have relied on [Sean] to make all financial decisions for 23 years, and I have effectively been kept in the dark regarding the true extent of our business interests and assets.”
