Braunwyn and Sean are continuing to prioritize their family after she recently came out as a lesbian in an interview with GLAAD.

Always," he wrote after Braunwyn addressed her sexuality and confirmed her new relationship with a woman.

Braunwyn explained to GLAAD that she and Sean are still married and learning to navigate “uncharted territory."

Of their future, she said, "I plan on staying married… We’re raising the kids together. He’s my best friend. He knows the girl I’m dating. Her name is Kris. I mean, we go to parties together! She came over the other night, hung out with the family, had dinner with us. I mean, it’s only as weird as you make it.”
