Bronwyn Newport Details “Joyful” New Romance After Todd Bradley Split
Bronwyn Newport is keeping it real like a housewife.
Ahead of her arrival at the Met Gala 2026, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star detailed how she’s feeling five months after her split from Todd Bradley was confirmed.
“It’s tricky to go through anything in public,” Bronwyn told Erin Lim Rhodes during the Live from E! Stream: Met Gala May 4, “and a separation—also there’s lots of emotions and it’s really layered and nuanced.”
Nevertheless, the 40-year-old—who has starred on RHOSLC since 2024—didn’t hold back on teasing a new romantic chapter.
“It’s been really joyful and happy,” she continued, “to have somebody new in my life. But also I think for anyone figuring themselves out is to figure yourself out so I’m also pretty focused on just Brownwyn."
And the Broadway producer emphasized she’s focusing on herself especially for the evening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art fundraiser, adding, “I’ve been wanting to do this my whole life.” (To see every star on the Met Gala 2026 red carpet, head over here.)
For Bronwyn, securing her divine Kevin Germanier floral gown was an “odyssey” as it was flown over from Europe.
“I had other backups but I was always hopeful this was going to get on my body today,” she mused, “and I came in from filming this dress came in from Europe and we just met in New York City in a perfect storm of situations.”
Another perfect storm? The reality star’s co-hosts for the Live From E! Met Gala fashion panel, which are set to be Justin Sylvester, Keltie Knight, Zanna Roberts Rassi, Ciara Miller, Bronwyn Newport, Renee Montgomery, Chris Appleton and Christian Siriano.

Indeed, Bronwyn emphasized that the crew will be the perfect commentators for the “Costume Art” themed evening.
“We have such a really cool range of co-hosts tonight that will do their own thing and very different things,” she added, “and I am excited to see how all that comes together. I’m the costume expert, also I think the couture expert so I’m excited to see how people meld the two tonight.”
