Sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean by separate?

Typically if you are using a bridge it is because you want to link together
several network segments on different cards so that all those segments are
on the same level 2 network.

What are you trying to do?

How many cards do you have enslaved to the bridge?

If you only have one network card I don't see why you should use a bridge at
all, having two addresses on a network card either using card aliases
(eth0:X) or several IPs on the same card using ip commands on a up statement
is ok, but that doesn't have to do anything with bridges.
