Braunwyn opted for a stylish all black look featuring a gray sweater with cut-out shoulders.

She matched it to her flowing black slacks while dressing down with gold flip-flops. 

The reality star spiced up her outfit with a patterned multicolored scarf draped down her her midriff and a brown Louis Vuitton handbag with hot pink trim.

She accessorized with chunky black sunglasses and let her blonde tresses cascade down her back.

Braunwyn indicated on social media that she was gay back in the fall of 2020, but she officially came out as a lesbian during an early December interview with GLAAD.

‘I like women. I’m gay,’ she said at the time.

‘I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community. It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now,’ she continued. ‘I’m so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice.’

The same day that her interview was posted, Braunwyn gave her 317,000 followers their first glimpse of Kris in a sweet selfie as they embraced while on a hike.

The reality star is currently still married to her husband Sean, who appeared with her late in January on the RHOC reunion episode.

During the episode, Braunwyn admitted to Andy Cohen that she had never been attracted to men, including her own husband, but that her attraction to women ‘didn’t correlate with what [she] wanted’ for ‘the perfect life.’

Sean said he was heartbroken to be told that, but ‘in some ways it was a relief’ to know that the lack of attraction wasn’t just about him.

‘Of course we have an emotional connection, we’re best friends, and we enjoy each other that way, but that was a part of our relationship that was really hard and really challenging,’ he explained.

Braunwyn also opened up about how hard it was to see Sean starting to date after the romantic component of their marriage ended. 

‘I didn’t take it well,’ she said in response to learning he was dating a new woman.

During an Instagram Q&A with her fans in early January, she admitted she would be ‘heartbroken’ if her husband fell in love with another woman, though the two seem to be making the best of their open marriage.

‘It’s hard,’ he admitted during the reunion. ‘After being with someone for 25 years, of course it’s hard to say, “Oh my gosh, how did this happen? How did I not see this?” But on the other hand, she’s so much happier and we don’t fight.’

DailyMail.com previously revealed that Sean had been seen on an intimate lunch date with his new girlfriend, while a source said the two were ‘really handsy’ with each other.
