From tragedy to true love: How 'RHOSLC' star Bronwyn Newport overcame intense heartbreak to find the light
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: The 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 5 star Bronwyn Newport shares a daughter, Gwen, with her ex-boyfriend. However, Gwen's father was absent from her life, leaving Bronwyn to navigate motherhood on her own after he left upon learning about her pregnancy.
At just 18 years old, Bronwyn was in her second year at Brigham Young University when she became pregnant with Gwen. She reached out to her ex-boyfriend's family for support, but instead, they were unsupportive, labeling her as awful, damaged, and shameful. However, Bronwyn's ex, who came from a conservative Mormon family in Salt Lake City, did not defend her during this difficult time. Tragically, he died shortly after Gwen celebrated her second birthday, leaving a void in both their lives. Gwen learned about her father's death through a Facebook post. However, Lisa Barlow, who knew Bronwyn's ex and his family, recognized him immediately upon seeing his picture.

However, they set a condition for their reconciliation, stating, "only if Gwen’s in a place in her life where she's ready to accept them."
