Spooky season is upon us, and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Bronwyn Newport is “excited” to set the tone this Halloween.
The fashion-forward Housewife was joined by daughter, Gwen, and Gwen’s live-in boyfriend, Logan, when she let fans get a look at the front of their spooktacular home, adorned with a hodgepodge of Halloween decorations ranging from the harvest-themed to the hair-raising. Bronwyn said on her Instagram Stories that she was “supposed to be in Paris for Fashion Week,” but stayed behind to transform the outside of her home for the Halloween season.
Gwen and Logan thought five skeleton dogs were “too many,” especially given their five real-life dogs at home, and Bronwyn announced they needed “more pumpkins” to fill out the space. Sets of metal spiders from the Midway Swiss Days Festival in Heber Valley, Utah, were a gift to Bronwyn from her mother, and neat stacks of colorful mums, candles, and hay stacks put the large property into fall mode.
“OK, what do we think?” Bronwyn asked her followers. “We’ve got to turn the skeleton and all five dogs. All are motion-activated, and they bark and they talk. We’ve got to turn those off; that’s gonna kill me.”
Bronwyn Newport reflects on her family’s dynamics
At home, Bronwyn and husband, Todd Bradley, have a full house between Gwen plus Logan, and the family’s many dogs. What’s more, as seen in Season 6, Episode 3, Bronwyn’s parents moved in. And although her father was receiving memory care amid his battle with Alzheimer’s disease (before he passed away earlier this year), mom Muzzy — who was recovering from brain tumor surgery — would stay at the residence “indefinitely” at the time.

Bronwyn credited her husband of nine years for stepping up to the plate to help those closest to her during the recent, “intense” months.
She told him, “You’ve really stepped up financially and are taking care of stuff for them in the interim while they figure out their house and their logistics. I know that’s not what you wanted to do. And I know you’ve changed plans and changed travel and changed your meetings, and it means a lot to me … I feel like it’s been a year since this year started.”
“Yeah, it’s been a rough start to the year,” Todd replied. “You’ve taken on a lot.”
