A Public Announcement of Separation
Reality television personality and business owner Susie Bradley has confirmed her separation from former NRL star Todd Carney, ending a marriage that lasted less than two years. Bradley, 33, addressed the split through a series of candid social media updates in July 2026, describing the experience as a period of significant “break-up grief.”
The announcement follows months of speculation surrounding the couple, who officially tied the knot at their Gold Coast hinterland home in January 2025. In a raw video shared with her followers, Bradley admitted to feeling “shattered,” noting that she chose to share her vulnerability online to seek comfort and transparency.
A History of Reconciliation and Turbulence
The couple’s relationship has been marked by a complex history of breakups and reconciliations. Bradley, who rose to prominence after her 2019 appearance on Married At First Sight, first met Carney shortly after the show. Their relationship saw an initial engagement in 2020 before a brief separation in 2022. The pair eventually reconciled, leading to a second engagement in May 2024 and their subsequent marriage.
The couple shares two sons together—five-month-old King and four-year-old Lion. Bradley is also a mother to a 10-year-old daughter, Baby, from a previous relationship, for whom Carney had acted as a stepfather.
Life Changes and Future Uncertainty
The confirmation of the split provides context for Bradley’s earlier decision to step back from her professional commitments. In June 2026, she announced the closure of her aesthetician clinic for a period of four months, stating that “life has changed in ways I never saw coming.” At the time, she emphasized the need to focus on her well-being and dedicate time to her children.
While Bradley has not provided specific details regarding the cause of the separation, her recent social media activity has alluded to deep personal frustration. She recently reshared an Instagram post stating, “They weren’t sorry when they thought you didn’t know,” and another noting that the time before “everything went wrong” was the “happiest I had ever been in my life.”
As Bradley navigates this transition, she has expressed a commitment to honesty, acknowledging that while she is currently experiencing the highs and lows of heartbreak, she is determined to manage the process openly. She noted to her audience that she is currently in a phase of “healing out loud,” finding solace in the community support she has received since the public confirmation of the split.
