The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Jennifer Spinner are officially married.
“Mrs and Mrs Spinner,” the 47-year-old reality star captioned an Instagram announcement on Thursday, December 5. “Yesterday was such a full circle moment, I got to look into the eyes of the person I love and say ‘yes, more of this forever.’”
She continued, “I love you @hashtag_blehssed , I love how you love our kids, I love how you make me laugh, I love this little life. Now and forever …mine.”
In the photo, Windham-Burke wore a white fur coat over a white dress, which she paired with silver boots and jewelry. Spinner, 40, donned a chic black suit with a crisp white button-down.

Spinner celebrated the milestone with an Instagram post of her own on Thursday, writing, “We did a thing, for real this time. … I’ve never been more in love, I’ve never been more at peace, and like I said in my vows, B, you will NEVER be without a teammate again. I love you. I love the kids. I love the dogs, and I love that you’re now officially Mrs. Windham-Spinner.”
According to People, the couple’s ceremony was held at their Nashville home on Wednesday, December 4, with a notary legalizing the marriage. Five of Windham-Burke’s children — she shares Bella, 24, Rowan, 22, Jacob, 19, twins Caden and Curren, 11, Koa, 9, and Hazel, 6, with ex-husband Sean Burke — were present for the wedding. (The outlet noted that Rowan was in New York and Jacob was in California.)
“Jen is my best friend, and I am so lucky that I get to wake up and go to bed with the person that I’d rather be around more than anyone else,” Windham-Burke told People. “She’s the one that has my back. It’s been a really hard two years and I don’t think I could have gotten it through her. I think when you take your marriage vows, they say, ‘For better or worse,’ and we have been through such hard times that she’s shown up every single time.”
For Spinner, the marriage is also a commitment to Windham-Burke’s children. “Every kid is always looking for structure and safety that the adults in their life are going to be there for the long haul,” she explained. “This marriage is about showing them and having that legally documented that I am a parent. I’m one of four parents, but I’m a parent and I take that seriously and that I’m not going anywhere.”

The twosome have been together since 2022, two years after Windham-Burke came out. Windham-Burke proposed to Spinner in July 2023, and Spinner returned the favor three months later with a proposal of her own. The couple previously held an unofficial wedding ceremony in Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day. (Us Weekly confirmed in November 2023 that Windham-Burke finalized her divorce from Burke two years after their separation.)
Following their “last-minute” nuptials in Nashville, Windham-Burke and Spinner still plan on celebrating their love with trips to Guatemala, California and New York in 2026.
“This is just about us and us saying, ‘You know what? We love each other. Let’s do this,’” Windham-Burke told People. “And then when we actually have the big wedding, we won’t be as stressed out and we’ll be like, ‘This is just a party with our friends.’”
