‘We will share with you more when the time is right. We kindly ask for your grace and kindness, and thank everyone for their support.’
Braunwyn and husband Sean Burke are parents of seven kids: Jacob, Bella, Rowan, Koa, Hazel and twins Caden and Curran.
The Newport Beach native also had put up a shot that referenced co-parenting, when split parents coordinate to take care of their children.
The repost read, ‘New to the coparenting world? It doesn’t have to suck. It won’t feel like this forever. You just need some perspective … Knowing what to expect will save your sanity.’
Telling? Her daughter Rowan captioned an Instagram post, ‘F***. You. Mom.’

Braunwyn, who has been married to Burke since 2000, captioned the post with a link to a Zoom session with Michelle Dempsey, who is a divorce specialist.
Braunwyn last year said on the RHOC aftershow that she and Burke – who initially tied the knot in 2000 – had temporarily separated after she’d cheated on him.
‘We fought for our family because Sean and I almost got divorced … I cheated on Sean,’ she said. ‘We separated. I took the kids. He was with someone else too.
‘We were separated, we were in two different homes. I went to Hawaii; I took the kids, I enrolled them in school. I told Sean I was done. I just didn’t want to be a single mom anymore. He traveled 25 days a month.’

Braunwyn said that months later, the relationship came together again when he ‘re-proposed’ to her and refocused on his family life.
‘He had quit his job,’ she said. ‘He was the president of a very successful company. He sold his shares and he walked away and he became a stay-at-home dad for like eight years. He said, “I would rather choose you guys than my work.”‘
Braunwyn appears on the Bravo show with castmates Shannon Storms Beador, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and newcomer Elizabeth Lyn Vargas.
The Real Housewives of Orange County’s 15th season commences October 14 on Bravo at 9/8c.
