AceShowbiz - Braunwyn Windham-Burke couldn't be happier to have finalized her divorce from Sean Burke. The former star of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" said she's looking forward to starting a "new chapter" of her life after she became legally single.

"Today feels like the first day of the rest of my life," the reality star told PEOPLE. "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. 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."

Braunwyn, who came out as a lesbian in December 2020, said she couldn't wait to marry fiancee Jennifer Spinner. "I can finally walk down the aisle for real now," she added. "I'm really excited to be able to start my next chapter."

Braunwyn went on to note that she and Jennifer will also be moving out of the house shared with Sean in Tennessee. "We moved out here and never really anticipated Sean would be moving in with us, but we tried the whole 'bird nest parenting' thing and it just isn't working," she explained.

"So Jen and I are moving into our own home in December, and the kids will be moving back and forth," the TV personality continued. "It's within walking distance so it'll just be better for everyone involved."

Braunwyn and Sean's divorce was finalized on Friday, November 17. They were granted 50/50 custody of their seven children, Bella, 23, Rowan, 21, Jacob, 17, 10-year-old twins Caden and Curren, Koa, 8, as well as Hazel, 5. Starting in April, Sean will pay Brauwnyn $5,000 a month in spousal support and $6,000 per month in child support.
