Rocha and Windham-Burke were the first linked in December 2020 when Braunwyn commented on Fernanda's Instagram photo.
After Fernanda previously joined The Real Housewives of Orange County as Tamra Judge’s friend, the new relationship comes to light.
Braunwyn has since confirmed her relationship with Fernanda. However, it has been reported that Fernanda was married when they began dating.
While filming the Bravo show, she first met Fernanda, who Braunwyn described as an out and proud woman.
Shortly after the relationship news came out, Braunwyn revealed that Fernanda was taking her away for a few days.
“I’m dating Fernanda. The first time that we went from friends to maybe a little more — and, like, barely more — was in February,” Windham-Burke, 43, told Us Weekly exclusively on Friday, June 18.
Rumors previously swirled that Windham-Burke had played a role in the conclusion of Rocha’s marriage to her estranged wife, Tessa Rocha. However, the reality star asserted that she had nothing to do with the duo’s January split.
“We did not start dating until a month after she filed for divorce,” Windham-Burke added.

“We can both date other people. She just got out of a marriage. We’re both in our forties,” Windham-Burke said. “You know, we really love the time we spend together. She’s amazing. She’s an amazing person, but neither one of us is rushing into labels. … We don’t need to label [the time] we spend together.”
Braunwyn told Page Six: “Having someone special in my life who was an out and proud woman on reality television was so helpful in the beginning stages of our relationship.”
Braunwyn continued:
Not only has she been a source of strength, but she has taken me under her wing and helped me navigate my coming out. Without the show, I never would have met Fernanda, so I am forever grateful for that.
Braunwyn told E! News that their friendship grew to more than just friends only recently after Fernanda got divorced. She said:
I’m glad I met her. I will say this — there have been some rumors about when we went from being friends to a little bit more than friends. It was after she got divorced so there’s nothing salacious like that happening. We’ve been hanging out for awhile. We didn’t become more than friends until recently. She’s definitely special.
Shortly after dating for four months, Rocha and Windham-Burke split away.
