Their relationship came after Windham-Burke came out as a lesbian in December 2020, following 23 years of marriage to Sean Burke.
The Bravo alum gushed: ‘She said to me once, ‘How much do you love me?’ And I looked at her and said, ‘It’s not how much I love you. It’s how small I love you. I love you on a molecular level.’ And that’s really it.’
The mother of Bella, 22, Rowan, 20, Jacob, 17, twins Caden and Curren, nine, Koa, seven and Hazel, four, with soon-to-be ex-husband Sean Burke even wore the same outfit for the proposal that she wore on their first date.
She recreated every single thing they did on that first fateful outing, saying, ‘We had been talking over direct message and over the phone for few weeks at that point, but we hadn’t met in person yet.’
‘And I we both went into the day thinking we would just be friends. In fact, she’ll tell you, she came more for a story! She was like, “Won’t this be a funny story to tell my friends one day? The time I hung out with a Housewife?”‘ Windham-Burke recalled.
She revealed that they got deep fast on that first date talking about anything and everything.
“There wasn’t a topic we didn’t discuss that first day,” Windham-Burke said. ‘It was, “What’s important to you? What do you want out of life? What’s your relationship with your family? Do you want children? Are you spiritual?”‘
‘We talked about it all. Through that, we found we had all these things in common. And we quickly started to realize, “Oh, this is something else.”‘
