While speaking with People, Bronwyn shared that the summer after filming the show’s latest season, they were “great” and he was there for her and her family when her father passed away. However, after watching back the season, she called it “eye-opening” and and it played into the breakup.
“It was almost like this magical summer hadn’t happened. We were kind of right back into some of those problems,” Bronwyn said. “I didn’t like how needy I was, and I didn’t like how upset or defensive I was. It wasn’t a relationship that I felt like I wanted to be going forward with anymore.”
She added that going through BravoCon last November helped her realize she’d be okay without him.
“It was just this pressure point of trying to explain this life that I was living to him when he was not there, and he wasn’t understanding it,” Bronwyn said.
Then, after BravoCon, she “felt okay and happy and fine and like there were things for me in the future.”
She does note, though, that it hasn’t been easy.
“It is very scary to feel like I don’t have my dad or Todd as a sounding board anymore,” she said. “But it’s also a really wonderful, positive thing for me to do what’s best for myself going forward. It’s tricky to talk about. I’m not happy. This is not what I wanted. It’s not where I hoped for us to be going. But from where we are, I can see wonderful things for both of us.”
“I really care about Todd,” she continued. “That’s not something that turns off overnight. I want the very best for him. I really do want to be best friends with Todd. I think as we’ve gotten closer to that in the last few weeks, there’s a lot more of that old happiness and joy for both of us.”
She also revealed that they are still living together.
“We might be the only people in the world who don’t have young children who are nesting,” Bronwyn shared. “But we’re doing it for our dogs.”
