According to her official biography on BravoTV.com“Bronwyn Newport is passionate about high fashion, art, and first-class living. Raised a Mormon, Bronwyn was expelled from the church when she became pregnant while attending BYU. While raising her daughter Gwen as a single mother, she worked in finance before marrying Todd, who is 26 years her senior. Although she and Lisa have been friends for years, she quickly realizes that her old friend may not be as supportive as she would like.”

Newport posted another slide to her Instagram story on August 19, correcting the record about her expulsion from the Mormon church. “Oh wait, whoa! I was kicked out of BYU but not expelled! I was raised Mormon, and no longer go, but that’s my choice!”
