The Salt Lake City air just got a little more electric. As of February 5, 2026, the Bravo world is buzzing with the news that Bronwyn Newport has a new leading man: professional fashion model Brandon Good.
While fans are still processing Newport’s high-profile split from husband Todd Bradley, the 40-year-old fashion archivist isn't looking back. Industry insiders have known the 32-year-old Good for his high-fashion pedigree, but his transition into the "Bravo-verse" has turned him into a household name overnight. Here’s a deep dive into the romance and the man behind the headlines.
The Bronwyn Newport and Brandon Good Timeline: A Fashionable Fresh Start
The rumors of a spark between Brandon Good and Bronwyn Newport began circulating just weeks after her January 27 announcement that she was ending her nine-year marriage. However, the pair skipped the "soft launch" and went public with a series of bold appearances that proved this is no casual rebound.
The duo first turned heads on February 2, 2026, in New York City. They stepped out to support The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt during her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. The chemistry was undeniable at the Glass House Tavern after-party, where Brandon shared an elevator selfie captioned simply, "Date night." Newport playfully leaned into the buzz, tagging Brandon and calling him her "black widow date"—a nod to her iconic, avant-garde style.
Things escalated quickly as they jetted to Paris Fashion Week 2026. Sources suggest the two were introduced by their mutual friend, designer Christian Siriano, who has long dressed Newport for her high-profile appearances. In Paris, the couple was spotted sharing more than just front-row seats; Newport posted a photo wearing Good’s oversized coat, to which he flirty replied, "Who doesn't share coats?" This shared passion for high-fashion "archiving" makes them a natural, albeit unexpected, power couple.
Defining the 8-Year Age Gap: A Modern Power Couple
One of the most talked-about aspects of the relationship is the age difference. Brandon Good (32) is eight years younger than Bronwyn Newport (40). In an industry often critical of age gaps, fans have found the pairing refreshing. Following her marriage to Bradley (who is 26 years her senior), Newport’s relationship with Good feels like a vibrant new chapter. Insiders tell People that Bronwyn is "really happy" and enjoying the "spark" of a partner who truly understands the breakneck pace of the fashion world.
Beyond the Runway: Brandon Good’s High-Fashion Pedigree
Don't let the "reality boyfriend" title fool you; Brandon Good has been a force in the industry for over a decade. Originally from Indiana, Pennsylvania, his career took off after being scouted by a local photographer. Today, he is represented by powerhouse agencies like Two Management and Heffner Management.
His resume reads like a Vogue wishlist, featuring campaigns and runway shows for:
-
Jean Paul Gaultier
-
Moschino
-
Brandon Maxwell (where he recently celebrated the brand's 10th anniversary)
Unlike many who chase reality TV fame, Good has a solidified career and a verified net worth independent of the Bravo cameras. He is also the founder of Straz, a tech-forward platform designed to help actors rehearse, and hosts The Good Method podcast, where he discusses performance and mental prep. This "beauty and brains" combination is likely what caught the eye of the intellectually sharp Newport.
That Viral Moment: Why You Recognize Him from "Lucky Strike"
If Brandon's face looks familiar, it’s likely because you’ve seen him in one of the most aesthetic music videos of the last decade. In 2019, he starred as the beachside heartthrob in Troye Sivan’s "Lucky Strike." The video, which has amassed millions of views, showcased Good’s acting range and solidified his status as a digital "it-boy." This pop-culture milestone remains a major search point for fans discovering him for the first time in 2026.

The big question on every fan's mind: Will we see Brandon on RHOSLC Season 6? While the reunion just wrapped and filming for the next installment is in early stages, his constant presence by Bronwyn’s side makes it highly likely.
Newport has stated she feels "liberated" and "unencumbered" in this new chapter. Whether or not Brandon holds a "friend of" role, he is already the most talked-about addition to the Salt Lake City social circle this year.
