Braunwyn Windham-Burke has revealed her crush in the "Real Housewives" franchise after her split from Victoria Brito.

The "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum shared that she's crushing on "Real Housewives of Potomac" star Ashley Darby when she spoke with E! News at Jill Zarin's Luxury Luncheon in The Hamptons event in New York Saturday.

"I love Ashley 'cause she's so hot and she's single now," Windham-Burke told the outlet exclusively. "I'm just sayin', we're both single. You heard here it first, Ashley."

She added, "That's an E! Exclusive. You're single, so am I. Hit me up in my DMs!"

Earlier this month, Windham-Burke announced her split from her girlfriend of nine months, Brito. She admitted to E! News on July 8 that she was "very sad" about their breakup since Brito was her longest relationship since she came out as a lesbian in December 2020.

"It's a heartbreaking feeling," Windham-Burke said.

An anonymous insider close to the former couple told People that Windham-Burke and Brito decided to part ways because their relationship "just wasn't working."

"They had great chemistry, but ultimately, it wasn't enough to sustain them and the long distance became too hard to maintain," the source said.

Windham-Burke lives in Newport Beach, California, while Brito is based in New York City.

Although the decision to call it quits was mutual, the breakup wasn't easy for the reality star.

"Braunwyn is heartbroken," the insider told People. "She fell hard, she fell fast, and she loved Vic with her whole heart. The relationship ending, it's devastating for her."

Though she's dated several women since coming out as a lesbian, Windham-Burke remains married to her husband Sean Burke, with whom she shares seven children.

Meanwhile, Windham-Burke expressed her interest in returning to the franchise for "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip." She hasn't been cast in any upcoming season yet, but she received encouragement from her friend Tamra Judge, who stars on "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Season 2, Ex-Wives Club."

"I've been talking to her about her experience," Windham-Burke shared. "And she's loved it. She's like, 'you get in. It's two weeks. You get out. There's drama, but none of it destroys your life. So it's fun.' You know, it's like baby drama, not real drama."

She added that if she were given the chance to join the show, she wanted to film with Noella Bergener because they were best friends. She wanted to continue their friendship and journey.

Windham-Burke also said she loves "RHONY's" Leah McSweeney and "RHOP's" Monique Samuels, as well as "some of the 'Dallas' girls" like Kary Brittingham.

"Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2, Ex-Wives Club" is now streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping every Thursday.
