Braunwyn Windham-Burkegot engaged on Saturday, when her fiancéeJennifer Spinnerproposed, three months after theReal Housewives of Orange Countyalumna popped the question to her.
“Awwwww!!! I said yes!” Windham-Burke, 45, wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two standing together, each showing off their rings. “Thank you [Jennifer]. I love you , I love that the kids love you, I love how much you love them!!! Can’t wait to be your wife!!”
On her Instagram Story, Windham-Burke offered a closer snap of the ring, which she said was designed after the one her dad gave her mom. “My parents are so in love and I kind of wanted a little bit of that love,” the reality star said. “I want to carry it around with me forever. And she nailed it.”
“Jen listens when I talk and that is such an interesting thing; I’ve never had that before,” Windham-Burke added. “I’ll say something that’s special and she remembers. And it means a lot, it means a lot.”

“God, it’s been a rough time, but I’m the happiest girl alive right now,” she gushed. “I love you Jen.”
Spinner, 39, included more pictures from the special moment in her own social media posts. Though she got down on one knee, it was Hazel who held the ring. The kids — four of seven Windham-Burke shares with soon-to-be ex-husbandSean Burke— also made a sign and showered the couple with confetti.
“Today I asked my best friend in this world, and my four tiniest best friends in this world, if they wanted to make this little family that we’re forming forever,” Spinner wrote. The past year+ had brought me more gifts than any one person ever deserves. With this crew in my corner, life will never be boring, always be rich, and will always bring me to tears of happiness when I allow myself to soak it all in.”
“[Braunwyn] thank G-D you said yes, because it would be real awkward if the kids made that sign for nothing 😂,” Spinner joked. “I ❤️ you (all) with everything I am.”
Windham-Burke and Spinner have been dating since July 2022, after meeting over Instagram.
“I’ve never been happier,” Windham-Burke told PEOPLE at the time of the milestone. “Jen is my person. 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. My DNA was made for her.”
