Susie Bradley, known for her appearance on reality television, has publicly confirmed the end of her marriage to NRL player Todd Carney. The couple, who married in January of the previous year, have separated after 18 months together. Bradley, 33, shared the news over the weekend via videos posted on Instagram, describing her current emotional state as navigating “break-up grief.”
Relationship Timeline and Public Statements
In her social media posts, Bradley candidly discussed her feelings, acknowledging the emotional turmoil of the separation. “I know without doubt I’m probably going to crash and burn very soon. But f**k it’s a roller coaster so just gotta roll with it, I guess,” she stated in one video. She further explained her decision to share her experience, noting, “Decided I’m sharing the breakup spiral because watching other people lose the plot has been oddly comforting.” In another post, made during a solitary walk, she admitted, “Posting this partly for attention and partly because my heart is actually f**king broken.” She elaborated on the transparency of her posts, suggesting that “half the s**t we post is for validation and attention. This is simply more transparent.” Bradley also expressed a newfound willingness to accept support, adding, “And honestly, I’m learning there’s nothing wrong with letting people show up for you when you’re not feeling your best – so f**k it.”
Rumors and Previous Tensions
Speculation about the couple’s relationship status began to surface in June. At that time, Bradley shared a cryptic message on social media that appeared to address infidelity or inappropriate contact within a marriage. One post read, “I will never hate the girl before or after me, but the one who knew about me and still went for it, I hope your teeth fall out.” Another video accompanied by text stated, ‘”I didn’t cheat.” Okay but you entertained women, hid things, crossed boundaries, and made me question myself. What exactly do you call that then?’ Bradley indicated that this sentiment resonated with her situation by sharing it with the caption, ‘Oh, okay, yep this one.’
