Bronwyn Newport, a star of the hit reality TV show The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC), has been identified as the mystery woman who kissed a man at the U.S. Open earlier this week. According to reports, the man she was kissing is none other than Justin Sievers, a married restaurateur from New York City.
Just days before the U.S. Open incident, it was reported that Bronwyn had stepped out for what she described as a "date" with an unnamed individual. At the time, fans were left wondering who the lucky guy might be. Now, thanks to some detective work, the identity of the mystery man has finally been revealed.
Justin Sievers, co-owner of Café Mulberry in NYC, is reportedly still legally married to his wife of 10 years, Maria Linn Ekenberger, 42. The couple shares a young child together, but sources close to them claim they've been having difficulties in their marriage. An insider alleged that Justin and Maria had agreed to spend some time apart, understanding that they were "still a couple" and would not date other people.
However, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. Another source stated that Justin's constant working hours had put a strain on their relationship, but noted that they "always had a lot of love" for each other. " in shock and disbelief," the source claimed.
The situation became even more complicated when entertainment outlets published photos of Justin wearing his wedding ring as recently as July. Additionally, he and Maria were still following each other on social media until Deuxmoi's photos were made public. Since then, Justin has deleted his profile photo and gone private.
When questioned about her mystery man on Watch What Happens Live, Bronwyn coyly replied, "I'm having a hot girl summer. You guys saw me on a date! I'm the happiest I've ever been. Look at me!" It seems Bronwyn's romance with Justin may be in its early stages, as one source described their relationship as "new and very casual."
Interestingly, a report by Realitea Recap linked Justin to another woman, Danielle Ranallo. However, there is no confirmation of whether a marriage actually took place between Justin and Danielle, as a registry listing alone does not establish a confirmed marital status.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season seven airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo, giving fans a front-row seat to the drama unfolding around Bronwyn and Justin's blossoming romance. Meanwhile, Maria's reaction to the news remains uncertain, but insiders claim she is indeed "really upset by all of this."
