Former MAFS star Susie Bradley says she is going through “break-up grief” after announcing she has separated from her husband, ex-NRL player Todd Carney.
Bradley, 33, posted a video on Instagram over the weekend explaining she was dealing with personal heartbreak.
“Can I just say break-up grief is the strangest f***ing thing,” Bradley said.
“I almost feel kind of good,” she said.
“I know without doubt I’m probably going to crash and burn very soon. But f***it’s a roller coaster so just gotta roll with it, I guess.”
She wrote in the caption: “I know without doubt I’m probably going to crash and burn very soon. But f*** it’s a roller coaster so just gotta roll with it, I guess.”
Earlier, Bradley posted a video of herself going for a walk by herself to deal with her heartbreak.
“Posting this partly for attention and partly because my heart is actually f***king broken,” she wrote.
“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***.

Bradley was inundated with messages of support from her followers and responded to one confirming she had split from Carney.
“Time heals all wounds.. you got this,” one person commented.
A second said: “You don’t have to be strong, Susie girl. Feel it all and lean into us; We’ve got you babe.”
Bradley’s split from Carney, 40, comes soon after she announced she was closing her aesthetician clinic for a few months.
She said within a week “life has changed in ways I never saw coming”.
“Sometimes life changes in ways you never could have prepared for,” she wrote in a post in June.
The former MAFS contestant’s split from ex-Cronulla Sharks star Carney comes just months after they welcomed a baby boy in February.
They named their second son “King Daryl Carney”, prompting some concern over whether the name “King” is allowed to be legally registered in Australia.
Carney and Bradley were first engaged in 2020 but the pair split in 2022 before getting back together.
They welcomed a baby boy who they named Lion Daryl Carney in March 2021.
The couple got married on the Gold Coast in January 2025 after getting engaged in May 2024, and announced they were pregnant in August last year.
Bradley, who previously appeared on Married At First Sight, documented her fertility journey and experience going through IVF.
“And with a little bit of perseverance and a whole lotta love, we finally got you,” she said at the time.
Carney played at the Canberra Raiders, Sydney Roosters and Cronulla Sharks in an NRL career that saw him win the coveted Dally M Medal in 2010.
Carney is stepdad to Susie’s daughter Baby. The three children’s names are now Baby, Lion and King.
