Married At First Sight’s Susie Bradley, wife of NRL star Todd Carney, has confirmed her split from the former Cronulla Sharks player
The business owner and mother of three, 33, shared a video voicing her experience with “break-up grief”.
Susie Bradley seemed to confirm her split from Todd Carney after months of speculation. Instagram
“Can I just say break-up grief is the strangest f–king thing,” Bradley began.
Reflecting on a recent walk where she lost track of time, Bradley shared a raw insight into her pain, telling followers the agony of splitting felt worse than more frightening scenarios she could imagine.
Despite her heartbreak, Bradley shared a positive update. “I almost feel kind of good,” she said.
Even still, Bradley knew there would be harder days coming.
“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.”
In the caption, Bradley said: “Decided I’m sharing the breakup spiral because watching other people lose the plot has been oddly comforting”
Hours earlier, she posted video of herself going for a solo walk admitting she was shattered.
“Posting this partly for attention and partly because my heart is actually f–king broken,” she wrote over the clip of herself.
Bradley continued in the caption: “A moment of honesty: half the shit we post is for validation and attention. This is simply more transparent.
“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 🤍#HeartbreakHumour#HonestOnline#NoFilter#HealingOutLoud#yolo.”

Many rallied around Bradley in the comment section.
“Time heals all wounds.. you got this,” one said.
While another wrote: “You don’t have to be strong, Susie girl. Feel it all and lean into us; We’ve got you babe.”
Bradley has not shared any specifics about what happened but has shared plenty of updates about experiencing “one of the most difficult times of [her] life”.
Bradley married Todd Carney in January 2025, and are parents to two sons – King, aged five months, and Lion, aged four. Bradley also has a 10-year-old daughter Baby, from a previous relationship.

Her honest update comes weeks after Bradley revealed she would close her aesthetician clinic for four months.
She said that in the span of one week, “life has changed in ways I never saw coming”.
“Sometimes life changes in ways you never could have prepared for,” she wrote in June.
Bradley added she made the decision so she could “take some much-needed time with family” as well as focus on her wellbeing. She continued that now was the time to adjust her plans.
The former MAFS bride, who appeared on the show in 2019, also posted several messages on her Instagram story hinting at what may have happened.
“They weren’t sorry when they thought you didn’t know. Never forget that,” read one Instagram video she reshared.
Another read: “But before everything went wrong, I think that was the happiest I had ever been in my life.”
On that post, Bradley wrote her own caption, “how depressing”.
