On RHOSLC, Todd Bradley has kind of built a brand as Bronwyn Newport‘s no-nonsense husband.

He’s the man who would rather be anywhere else than trapped in a circle of sprinter-van feelings and tequila-fueled accusations. And honestly? Same.

But Bronwyn has now dropped a little nugget that totally flips the vibe.

Apparently, there is one castmate Todd can apparently handle… and it’s not who you’d expect if you’ve been watching him side-eye the group drama all season.

She spilled it on Jon Lovett’s Lovett or Leave It podcast, and the reveal is giving surprising, oddly wholesome?!

Bronwyn lifts the lid on Todd’s relationships

If you’ve clocked Todd as the type who wants Bronwyn to disengage from the chaos, you’re not imagining it.

On RHOSLC, he’s openly baffled about why she’d even bother mending fences with Lisa Barlow, telling Bronwyn he doesn’t know why she engages, advising her to “walk away,” and calling what Lisa’s said about her “unforgivable.”

That energy has definitely translated onscreen as “Todd does not like the Housewives ecosystem.”

Which is why Bronwyn’s latest confession is so juicy. She says Todd and Mary Cosby “actually really get along and really respect each other.”

As in… Mary, Mary. The same Mary who can read a room to ashes in six words and then politely ask for a Diet Coke.

It weirdly makes sense, though? Mary is many things, but she’s not usually the one begging for a 45-minute emotional processing summit.

She’s direct, she’s unpredictable, and she tends to operate on her own planet, which may be exactly why Todd can relax around her. Bronwyn even framed it as something she “appreciates and loves,” suggesting it’s a genuine bright spot in how her worlds overlap.

And yes, the timing is extra interesting given the real-life headlines: Bronwyn and Todd have recently confirmed they’ve separated after nine years of marriage.

So hearing Bronwyn talk about any area where Todd is peacefully connecting with her castmates feels like a rare little window into what their dynamic can look like when it’s not under pressure.

Bronwyn also dishes on who she’s closest with

Alongside the Todd-and-Mary surprise, Bronwyn also got specific about her own inner circle on the cast, and she didn’t waffle. On the podcast, she said the women she’s closest to are “Mary, Whitney, Angie, in that order.”

Bronwyn says she speaks to Mary “quite a bit,” and that it’s often Bronwyn reaching out.

She described loving that Mary will let her vent, but also “set her straight” when she’s “spiralling out of control,” which is honestly the dream friend combo, a safe space and a hard reset when you need it!
