Braunwyn Windham-Burke is single. She recently confirmed that she and fellow "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Fernanda Rocha have called it quits less than four months after they started dating.

Windham-Burke gave the relationship update when she spoke to Us Weekly at the Alice+Olivia by Stacey Bendet Spring 2022 NYFW Presentation.

"Fernanda and I, we’re in a transitional period," the 43-year-old reality TV personality told the outlet. "I mean, I’ve been gone for three months so while we still stay in contact, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. So I fly back home and we’re going to a party together. It’ll be the first time I see her, but we are definitely open to other things in our life."

The Bravo star clarified that the "transitional period" is a breakup. "I'm single. OK, yes!" she said.

The "RHOC" star remains married to her husband, Sean Burke, though the pair announced they would see other people after she came out as a lesbian in December 2020. The couple shares seven children — Bella, 20, Rowan, 18, Jacob, 15, twins Curran and Caden, 8, Koa, 6, and Hazel, 3.

Windham-Burke also told Us Weekly that she and Sean have had a great co-parenting experience so far. She confirmed that they don't plan on divorcing anytime soon.

"It’s great. I mean, we really are nailing the coparenting thing. We are best friends. We’ve been together for 26 years. He understands that this has been a dream of mine forever, so he’s supportive!" she said.

She continued, "I don’t think we’re going to get divorced, honestly. I truly don’t think we’re going to. We get along great, we have an open marriage — it’s working for us. We’re happy."

In July, Windham-Burke and her husband announced that they decided to temporarily separate. In a joint Instagram Live, she said she was moving to Hawaii for the summer, while Sean will rent a place in Newport Beach, California, that Windham-Burke's then-girlfriend Rocha helped him find.

They said at the time that they would reassess their situation at the end of the summer after "living apart for a little while."

"What we would like to do is when this is over, get a house that the kids stay in and then we might go [back and forth]," Windham-Burke said at the time. "We haven’t decided if, after this little experiment of having a few months apart, if we are gonna come back together and live together as friends and family, or if we’re going to just keep the kids in the house and we’ll come in and out. … We need a break. We need some space right now."
