Real Housewives of Salt Lake CitystarBronwyn Newportand her husband,Todd Bradley, have split after nine years of marriage.
A representative for Bronwyn, 40, confirms to PEOPLE exclusively that "after thoughtful consideration, Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley have separated."
"This was a mutual decision made with care and respect for one another," says Bronwyn's representative. "They ask for privacy during this time."
The current season 6 ofRHOSLChas covered the ups and downs of Bronwyn's marriage to Todd, 65. In one episode, Angie Katsanevas claimed Lisa Barlow told her that Todd, a tech executive, made out with one of her friends.
At the time, Bronwyn boiled down the accusation to Lisa wanting "to get under my skin." She said, "She wanted to hurt my family. I'm realizing there is no way for me to be in the same room as Lisa and not veer into this person I don't respect in myself."
In another episode earlier that season, Bronwyn broke down in tears during an ice cream date with Todd because she felt he was being unemotional towards her.

During the cast's trip to Puerto Vallarta in season 5, Bronwyn revealed that Todd hadallegedly cheated on her.
"A couple of years ago, we were on a trip, and he was texting someone on his iPad, and Gwen went to say something to him, and Gwen saw it over his shoulder," Bronwyn claimed, referring toher daughterfrom a previous relationship. "Gwen came to me, and I confronted Todd."
She continued in her confessional: "The real truth is that my relationship is just as hard as everybody else's in its own ways and has had its very low lows that were very hard for me. This is a side of me that these ladies haven't yet seen, but I want them to understand that I bleed the same way that they all do. I cry about things, and that side of me is there if they're open to it."
When the ladies inquired about Todd's reaction to Bronwyn discovering his alleged infidelity, she explained that the dynamic of their marriage is complicated.
"He said it's a fatal flaw of his," she said. "What's good for him in business is that he's never satisfied. He's always pushing for the next deal, the best deal, the whatever. And it is hard to turn that off. When you come home, you are always looking."
"It's not his fault," she added. "You're used to what you're used to you, you like what you like."
Bronwyn went on to say that she chose to move forward and that Todd apologized with a gift.
"He came back with a ring that had five diamonds, and he made me five new promises to match each of the diamonds," Bronwyn said. "It was five things he didn't promise me when we got married that he probably should have."
Still, Bronwyn said she felt insecure in the marriage.

"There is always going to be a lump in the back of my throat that if I'm not super supportive, I'm not super there, if I'm not super caring, if I'm not physically there, it's not always gonna be the same," she admitted. "I'm not always good enough at home, and then I'm not good enough with you guys ever."
"I adore Todd," she continued. "I live and breathe by what Todd says to me, and I think I mean as much to Todd as any person can mean to him. But I think Todd means more to me than I mean to him."
Bronwyn said she first met Todd in San Francisco while she was working in finance. The two exchanged emails, and they wed intwo ceremoniesin 2016.
