Bronwyn Newport Shares an “Emotional” Update on Her Family & Living Situation

   

Bronwyn Newport shared so much of her life during her debut season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The RHOSLC newcomer was open about her marriage to her husband, Todd Bradley, and life as a mom to her daughter, Gwen. She is now continuing with that streak of transparency by opening up about taking care of her parents and helping them move out of their house.

Bronwyn took to her Instagram Story on Sunday, April 20, where she revealed that it had been a very "emotional day" for her, which she spent at her parents' house amid their health issues. In December, Bronwyn revealed that her dad has Alzheimer's, and her mom was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, according to People.

"My dad has been doing so great in memory care, but this week he hasn't been himself," she admitted on her recent story. "We went for a big Easter family visit and it just didn't go well."

Because of this, Bronwyn decided to fly to her childhood home in California, which led her to show off Gwen's childhood room in the home. Bronwyn snapped a photo of the very girly room, filled with the color pink, stuffed animals (including a bright red Hello Kitty and a giant stuffed whale), and dozens of children's books. "We've been slowly transitioning [them] to be living with me (and maybe one day out on her own, but close to me) after health challenges, and we needed to come out again, probably for the last time, and clean out the last few rooms," she explained.

She continued in the caption of the post, noting how Gwen's room at her parents' house has meant so much to her. "My parents were always so good to Gwen growing up," Bronwyn added. "My parents have had this house my whole life, even when we lived in Europe, just renting it out, and then my daughter spent so much of her childhood there too."

This will mark a new chapter for Bronwyn, especially since Gwen is almost an adult with big dreams. "Donating her old toys and books will make me so happy, but I'm also in a real nostalgic spiral," she concluded. "How do I leave my childhood and my daughters behind at the same time?"

Bronwyn's house has gotten even fuller after Gwen and her boyfriend brought a pet lizard into Bronwyn's colorful Utah home earlier this month. Bronwyn took to her Instagram Story at the time, where she snapped photos of the colorful reptile.

"My fear of reptiles is really being challenged," Bronwyn noted over a photo of Gwen holding the new pet. "But in fairness, he's rainbow and makes the same smirk as Todd aaaaand G said I could *maybe* name him (if I come up with a good name) so maybe I'll learn to love him."
