Bronwyn Newport, star of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," has been seen publicly with Justin Sievers, a married restaurateur and co-owner of New York City's Café Mulberry, Page Six has exclusively reported. The two were photographed together at the US Open.
While Newport is publicly single following her separation from husband Todd Bradley last year, Sievers is still legally married to his wife of ten years, Maria Linn Ekenberger. Sources offer conflicting accounts of Sievers' marital status at the time of his public appearance with Newport.
Some sources claim that Sievers and Ekenberger, both 42, were not separated when photos surfaced of Sievers embracing Newport. These sources acknowledge the couple had been experiencing a "challenging time" and had agreed to a brief period apart to work on their relationship, with the understanding that they would not date other people. One source described Sievers as working "24/7," which has impacted his marriage, but noted their continued "love" for each other.
However, other sources assert that Sievers and Ekenberger had already separated before he was seen with Newport. This account suggests Ekenberger was aware of and agreed to the separation and Sievers' subsequent romantic involvement. According to this perspective, the separation was recent, and Sievers had already moved out of their shared residence.
Ekenberger, who shares a child with Sievers, is reportedly in "shock and disbelief" over the photos and has since separated from him. Another source described her as "really upset by all of this."
Conversely, a fourth source insisted that the pair had separated prior to Sievers' sighting with Newport, stating that Ekenberger was "well aware" of their situation and had "in agreement" with moving on romantically. This source claimed the separation was "fresh" and that Sievers had already "moved out" by the time he was seen with Newport.
Reports indicate that Sievers and Ekenberger were still following each other on social media, and Ekenberger was seen wearing her wedding ring in images posted in late July. Sievers has since made his social media account private and removed his profile picture. His last Instagram post featuring Ekenberger was in December 2025.
Sources close to Newport and Sievers suggest their relationship is "new and very casual," with both individuals focused on their careers and children. Newport, who is mother to a 20-year-old daughter, Gwen, previously dated model Brandon Good for a few months after her split from Bradley.
During a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Newport spoke coyly about her US Open outing, stating, "I'm having a hot girl summer. You guys saw me on a date! I'm the happiest I've ever been. Look at me!" She did not name Sievers. When asked about her previous relationship, she humorously remarked that it was "six boyfriends ago."
