AceShowbiz - Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley have decided to part ways after nearly a decade of marriage. The star of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, who shares a daughter named Gwen, 19, from a prior relationship, confirmed the news of their separation.

In a statement released to E! News on December 12, Bronwyn’s representative shared, “After thoughtful consideration, Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley have separated. This was a mutual decision made with care and respect for one another.”

The statement concluded with a request for “privacy during this time.” This announcement comes amid the airing of season six of RHOSLC, which has showcased various challenges within their marriage.

Throughout the current season, viewers have witnessed some of the couple's struggles, including a rumor suggested by Angie Katsanevas concerning Todd's alleged romantic involvement with one of Lisa Barlow's friends. However, Bronwyn firmly denied the claim, stating, “There's no way Todd cheated with one of Lisa's friends.”

As the season progressed, Bronwyn addressed additional allegations circulating online that Todd had been “caught on a plane cheating” while allegedly looking at pictures of women on his phone. This rumor escalated into a heated argument, prompting Todd to stay in a hotel that night.

Reflecting on the situation, Bronwyn shared during a confessional, “When I first got this screenshot of a tweet sent to me, I was furious with him. I told Todd he needed to stay at a hotel that night and leave for his business trip the next day or early. We needed some space from each other.”

This incident led Bronwyn to contemplate the possibility of an open marriage with Todd. She expressed her desire to grow together, stating, “Look, I don't wanna be done with Todd. I wanna evolve with Todd, and I need him to evolve with me. And we need to be evolving in the same place, the same direction at least.”

She continued, “Todd can do what he wants to do, and I can do what I wanna do. But we still need to be a partnership when we get to where we wanna go.”

Bronwyn's reflections on their relationship come in light of a previous revelation during season five, where she admitted that Todd had an emotional affair a few years ago. She recounted, “A couple of years ago, we were on a trip, and he was texting someone on his iPad. Gwen went to say something to him, and she saw it over his shoulder.”

After Gwen's discovery, Bronwyn confronted Todd about the situation. She noted that he acknowledged it as a “fatal flaw” of his character, explaining, “What's good for him in business is that he's never satisfied. He's always pushing for the next deal, the best deal, whatever. And it is hard to turn that off.”

Bronwyn, now aged 40, mentioned that it wasn’t entirely Todd’s fault, as it was a part of his nature. They ultimately decided to move forward after Todd, who is 65, made her a heartfelt promise represented by the gift of five diamonds that symbolized his commitment to improve.

As the couple navigates this difficult transition, fans are left to wonder how their journey will unfold both on and off-screen.
