AceShowbiz - Braunwyn Windham-Burke has proudly introduced her new girlfriend to the world. On Tuesday, October 19, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" alum made red carpet debut as a couple with hairstylist Jamie Parton.
The reality star brought her partner at the launch of Dave Quinn's "Real Housewives" book, "Not All Diamonds and Rose", which took place at Capitale in New York City. At the event, she set aside time to tell stories about how she met the New Jersey-based hair colorist.
"We actually met at an event [D'Andra Simmons] hosted two years ago... We reconnected recently," the 43-year-old divulged when speaking to Us Weekly. "She reached out to me on Instagram, 'Hey, do you have any advice on sobriety?' "
"And then we started messaging. And when I was out here [in NYC], we hooked up," the mother of seven further recalled. The 30-year-old beauty then chimed in, "And the rest is history."
Jamie, who has been dating Braunwyn for only "a few weeks," admitted that she watched the latter "a little bit" on "The Real Housewives of Orange County". She later gushed over the TV personality, "I thought she was beautiful."
Before dating Jamie, Braunwyn was in a romantic relationship with a woman named Kris. However, a source told TMZ in April that they called it quits "over a month" ago and Braunwyn continues to date other women casually.
Braunwyn, who is still married to her husband Sean Burke, came out as lesbian back in December 2020. "I like women. I'm gay. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I'm a lesbian," she shared when speaking to GLAAD. "It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now. I'm so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice."
