When the rumor that Bronwyn Newport paid then-boyfriend Brandon Good to date her came to light on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7, the two had a laugh over the “ludicrous” claim.
How to Watch
Though Bronwyn insisted to castmate Angie Katsanevas in Episode 7 of RHOSLC that she didn’t even want to know what Lisa Barlow had said about her and Brandon, Angie filled her in anyway. “She said you work with people that have placed this relationship as a stunt,” Angie told Bronwyn during Heather Gay’s Jupiter Year Party. “She’s claiming that this relationship is by design, like it’s another couture dress.”
Bronwyn’s response to Angie? “I met his family last week. And if some team convinced him to let me meet his family, then I must be paying them an awful lot.”
In a confessional, Bronwyn continued, “It’s ludicrous to assume that this is the kind of PR I would want — that I’m still legally married, that I’m dating someone younger than me, and maybe, as my mom said, that you’re kind of slutty for already hooking up with someone else. Yeah, that’s the kind of PR I pay for.”
How did Brandon Good react to the claim that Bronwyn Newport paid him to date her?
Shortly afterward, Bronwyn told Brandon, “Apparently, Lisa says that you are a PR plant and that I’m paying you to date me,” to which he could only laugh and say, “Wow.” She went on to jokingly ask him how much that would cost, estimating that it’s “gotta be expensive,” since he is a “really good boyfriend.” With a chuckle, Brandon replied, “It’s a lot of money.”
What did Lisa Barlow say about Bronwyn Newport and Brandon Good’s relationship on RHOSLC?
Lisa previously made the comment about Bronwyn and Brandon’s relationship during Episode 6 during a get-together with Angie, Heather, and Mary Cosby. While discussing Bronwyn’s ongoing divorce from Todd Bradley, Lisa mentioned meeting Brandon during the cast trip to San Francisco, telling the ladies, “He seemed like a very nice guy. But it seems, like, cunning and a PR move. To me, it felt stunty.”
Referring to Bronwyn, Lisa added in a producer interview, “She literally lies about everything. She’s not who she purports herself to be.”
Previously on RHOSLC, Heather also insinuated that Bronwyn had used Todd’s credit card to pay for Brandon’s trip to join them in San Francisco, but she later clarified that she didn’t know for certain if that was actually true.

Where do Bronwyn Newport and Brandon Good stand today?
Since then, Bronwyn and Brandon split, as she confirmed during a Sept. 16 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. When host Andy Cohen asked how she and Brandon met, Bronwyn tellingly replied, “Who?” adding, “That was six boyfriends ago, babydoll. That was a while ago. I’ve had a hot girl summer.” She did, however, go on to concede that her model ex is a “beautiful” man.
Any potential heartache surrounding her and Brandon’s breakup was already long gone at that point, too. As Bronwyn also assured Andy at the time, “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been!”
