“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Bronwyn Newport has remained open about the challenges in her marriage during season 6, leaning on her castmates for support, especially when rumors of infidelity surfaced. Though she found solace in her friends, her husband, Todd Bradley, wasn’t thrilled that she was sharing their private affairs with everyone.
Bronwyn Turns to the ‘RHOSLC’ Cast for Strength
“I don’t know if you’ve seen on Twitter or not, but people are accusing Todd of getting caught on a plane cheating on me,” Bronwyn explained to Whitney Rose during episode 9 of season 6. “I land in Salt Lake to a mess on Twitter. While Todd was on his flight to New York, someone caught him looking at photos of women on his phone.”
“When he came home, I was like, ‘What is this…on Twitter?’” Bronwyn said. “And he goes, ‘ask your friends. They love to dabble in this kind of gossip and nonsense. It’s probably them.'”
“When I first got this screenshot of a tweet sent to me, I was furious with him,” Bronwyn admitted to a producer in one of her confessionals. “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.”
During the November 18 episode, Bronwyn updated viewers during another confessional. “After I asked Todd for some space, he was reaching out, telling me he misses me, he’s thinking about me. I’m not interested in him just coming home and acting like, you know, nothing’s happened here. Like, I cannot play happy Fisher-Price family.”
“In the past, Todd kept something from me that made me question how important I was to him,” she continued to a producer. “You start to spiral and think, ‘I’m not pretty enough. I’m not funny enough. I’m not sexy enough.’ … And this is not him violating my trust, but it does stir all that back up again.”
Bronwyn’s castmates even noticed that she stopped wearing her wedding ring.
“Instead of just saying, ‘It’s not a big deal. Here’s what happened; I’m an idiot,’ he, like, was really defensive. And I was exhausted. … I was done, and I was like, ‘You gots to go,'” she explained to group.
“What embarrasses me is the humiliation and secrecy around it,” she shared with the group. “Things have to change. It’s not a marriage-ending conversation, but it is a life-changing conversation for me, to be able to say, ‘This isn’t working, and I want a different thing,'” Bronwyn concluded.
Todd & Bronwyn Share Their Perspectives
When Bronwyn told Todd that she had already opened up to Whitney about their struggles, Todd said, “it’s nobody’s business. I don’t know why anything related to me can’t be left in this house. Why does it have to be shared with a group of untrustworthy friends?”
During a confessional, Bronwyn said to a producer, “I value my closeness with Todd, but it’s not fair to say that I’m only allowed to have deep conversations with him. I confided in friends, and I should be able to do that. This is so frustrating.”
“I’m trying to make it better. You are the most important relationship to me, but there is also something important about these other relationships, too, right now,” Bronwyn told Todd.
“I am as in with you as I can be. I love you as much as I possibly can,” she continued. “I’m as open to whatever would make you happy that is possible for me to do. If you wanted to do something different or have an arrangement or be open or whatever else, I would consider it. I would do whatever I needed to do to evolve with you.”
“You and I have been together for 11 years — through lots of ups and downs, through lots of turmoil, challenges, personally, professionally, health-wise. And the only consistent thing is we’ve always been able to talk through it,” Todd said.
“And this was a time we didn’t talk through it. We both came in pretty hot,” he added. “I can always admit when I’m wrong, and I was wrong. But I’m very happy being with you and the relationship we have. … What matters is that we talked about it, we resolved it, and we’re moving forward.”
Don’t ever settle Bronwyn, your husband has to respect you 100%. You’re too good for him. Because he has money, doesn’t make him a good husband. He can’t control your feelings and needs. You’re sweet and empathetic to your friends and family. Wow, I don’t like him as a viewer!🤷♀️
He’s kind of an idiot to think that in a show with “housewives” in the title, a marriage would be an off-limits topic.
Not only did she share personal things with Whitney. She shared personal things with 1 million people. I think I would be ticked. Also if my husband did that.
