Bronwyn Newport was overwhelmed by the bright lights from camera flashes from the paparazzi as she emerged during New York Fashion Week with gal pal Rihanna.
The newly single Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star was spotted with Rihanna and the Bravosphere is shooketh.

Instagram’s Pure People posted the video of Rihanna and Bronwyn. The following caption was translated from what I remember from my high school French class and Google …
“Rihanna leaves the Puma show in New York with a confident, alluring, perfectly mastered attitude, and a presence that steals the spotlight. When Rihanna leaves a show, the event continues outside.”
While I’m not fluent in French, I’m an expert at sleuthing. It appears Bronwyn said, “Oh my God. Ok,” as she exited the building. She reached back to make sure her friend, Rihanna, knew the scale of what to expect as she exited. The nine-time Grammy winner replied, “I’m used to this by now.” Slay.
Imagine they wore their matching YSL heart-shaped coats?!?!
Rihanna connected with Bronwyn on Instagram during her first season as a Housewife:
Back in 2024, Bronwyn revealed that Rihanna slipped into her DMs. “I got the message that I had a message from Bad Gal Riri. I was like, ‘It’s obviously a fake … It can’t possibly be real.’ I open my DMs, and I see it’s real and verified. It’s her.”
“I didn’t open the message for 48 hours.” Even Todd Bradley encouraged her to open the DM. She reasoned, “If I open it, it’s going to say ‘read.’ Then, I have to come up with something to respond. I am not prepared for this.” She admitted, “I had to gear up for it. Then, I wrote her back, and she wrote me back instantaneously.”
“I’m very grateful she’s DMed me. She’s very sweet to me. She has opinions on Salt Lake City, she has opinions on me.”
Salt Lake City’s fashion-forward Real Housewife boasted Rihanna “used the terms ‘bestie’ and ‘soulmate.’” Bronwyn quipped, “So I care zero about the other women in Salt Lake City, I have Rihanna now.”
Amid all the spats Bronwyn has found herself in, she admitted she “could use Rihanna” on her team. If I’d known Rihanna was going to love me while we were filming, I would have been like, ‘I don’t care. Say what you want to say. Rihanna loves me. She follows me.’”
“If I knew what I was going to know later … If I come back next year, I will be untouchable in an argument. Every single time, I’m going to be like, ‘Well. Rihanna likes it.’”
