Bronwyn Newport Says New Romance Brings Joy Amid Separation
bronwyn newport says a new romance has made a public separation feel lighter. Ahead of the 2026 Met Gala on Monday, May 4, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star said the change has been welcome even as the split from Todd Bradley remains a private burden she has to carry in public.
May 4 at the Met Gala
"It’s tricky to go through anything in public, and a separation, also, there’s lots of emotions and it’s really layered and nuanced," Newport said ahead of the 2026 Met Gala. "It’s been really joyful and happy to have somebody new in my life." She added, "I think my best advice for anybody figuring themselves out is to figure yourself out, so I’m also pretty focused on just Bronwyn."
That is the clearest update since December 2025, when news broke that Newport and Todd Bradley separated after nine years of marriage. A representative said the split was a mutual decision made with care and respect for one another. For viewers following the personal side of her reality-TV profile, the key shift is not just the separation itself but the fact that she is now speaking publicly about moving forward.
January With The Dogs
In January, Newport said she and Bradley were still living together for Douglas, Zoe, Remy, Petey and Freddie. "We might be the only people in the world who don’t have young children who are nesting, but we’re doing it for our dogs," she said then. That detail shows how gradual the transition has been: the split was public, but the household changed in stages.
By February of this year, Newport had officially moved on with model Brandon Good. A source said the two met through mutual friends in the fashion industry before they started dating, and another source said Good is "very protective" of her "in an endearing way." A second source said the relationship was still very new, which makes her May 4 comments the first direct signal that the new romance is no longer being kept at arm’s length.
Brandon Good And Bronwyn
Newport’s separation story now has two tracks: the legal and domestic unwind from Bradley, and the new relationship she is willing to describe as "really joyful and happy." For readers tracking the Bravo side of the story, that puts the emphasis on how quickly she has moved from a marriage of nine years to a new public chapter with Brandon Good, while still saying she is focused on "just Bronwyn."
She brought that same attitude to the Met Gala, where she wore a Kevin Germanier floral gown and was recruited to sit on the Live From E! Met Gala fashion panel. The next development that matters is whether she keeps speaking about the relationship on the show or stays with the quieter version she outlined on Monday; for now, Newport has made the move clear enough for the audience to read between the lines.
