Bronwyn has been married for eight years to her husband, Todd Bradley, who is 26 her senior. Before getting hitched, Bronwyn was a single mom to her daughter, Gwen, and she worked in finance. Her husband also has two adult kids from his first marriage. He’s worked in tech and business, including serving as the CEO of Palm and in executive positions at Hewlett-Packard. 

Bronwyn and Todd’s glam wedding took place in San Francisco in 2016. A pre-wedding celebration at Oracle Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) featured a massive fireworks display and performances by Natasha Bedingfield and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Bronwyn is a fashion influencer and liberal activist 

According to Bravo, Bronwyn is a fashion influencer and Broadway producer (she and her husband invested in the recent revival of Cabaret), as well as a liberal political activist. Her social media features highlights from her travels to Paris, Vienna, New York, Cabo, and other destinations.

So far, Bronwyn hasn’t shared much about her past on RHOSLC, but she did open up a few months ago about her journey to becoming a U.S. citizen. 

“Oooookay, so, I’m actually not American, yet. I wasn’t born in the US. I moved here from Brazil when I was almost a year old and then again lived outside the US, in Europe, during elementary school,” she wrote in a May 31 Instagram post. “A few years back I gave up my Brazilian citizenship and passport (keeping only my UK) and submitted my application, only for it to stall during Covid shutdowns! I’m now finally so close to becoming a citizen of the USA! And incredibly excited about getting to vote hopefully in my first elections this year!”  

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
