Braunwyn Windham-Burke is going to be a grandma!
The âReal Housewives of Orange Countyâ alum, 48, revealed via Instagram that her 25-year-old daughter, Bella, is expecting her first child.
âIâm going to be a grandma !!! So so so excited that my first baby is having a baby!!! Mama B ready for duty!!!â she captioned the pregnancy announcement, which featured a sonogram surrounded by a heart of roses.
Fans quickly flocked to the comments section to share their well wishes.
âCongratulations! What an absolutely joyful milestone for you and your family!â one social media user wrote, while a second chimed in, âCongrats!! Best club to apart [sic] of.â
âOh my gosh baby will have 4 generations! Love this. Congratulations to all the families,â a third person sweetly added.
Bella tied the knot with husband Douglas Tuohy in September.
Windham-Burke, 48, who shares seven kids with her ex-husband Sean Burke, posted about the monumental occasion on social media at the time.
âMy first baby got married! Weâre all so excited to welcome @douglastuohy into the family and Iâm so proud of the woman that @bellawindhamburke has become. Family of 10 here we come,â she penned alongside an Instagram carousel.
Meanwhile, just last month, Windham-Burke shared a family portrait alongside three of her younger kids, wife Jennifer Spinner and their dogs.
âIâve always wanted the kids to be able to have a family portrait that highlighted the unique, crazy, beautiful life that @hashtag_blehssed and I have created with, and for them,â the former reality star expressed.
Windham-Burke and Spinner tied the knot at their Nashville home in 2024.
âWeâre so excited to finally be legally wife and wifey!â the mom of seven told People at the time. âJen is my best friend, and I am so lucky that I get to wake up and go to bed with the person that Iâd rather be around more than anyone else.â
Windham-Burke noted that Spinner is the âone that has my back,â explaining, âitâs been a really hard two years, and I donât think I could have gotten it through her.
âI think when you take your marriage vows, they say, âFor better or worse,â and we have been through such hard times that sheâs shown up every single time.â
While marriage âisnât a fairy tale,â it does serve as a âcommitment that youâre my person and Iâm going to be with you. You are not just my partner for life, but youâre my best friend for life.â
Windham-Burke explained that their âlast-minute nuptialsâ were âjust about us and us saying, âYou know what? We love each other. Letâs do this.â
âAnd then when we actually have the big wedding, we wonât be as stressed out, and weâll be like, âThis is just a party with our friends,ââ she gushed.
The couple was originally set to tie the knot in October 2026, but moved up their wedding âdue to the uncertainty and the political and social climate around LGBTQ+ rights in Tennessee.â
Spinner told the outlet that they are worried âgay marriage will go back to the statesâ during Donald Trumpâs second presidency and they âjust wanted to be legally protected and hopefully grandfathered in to any changes that happen.â
âThis is just making it legal and giving us those protections that we need as a queer couple living in the south,â Windham-Burke detailed.
As she put it, âThis is our own little act of protest. We want to stand in our power.â
