Who is Leva Bonaparte's husband?
Leva joined Southern Charm Season 7 as full-time cast member, but she had been friends with much of the cast for years. (She even made cameo appearances on the show before officially joining.) Although she returned for Season 8, Bravo fans soon learned that she was granted her own spinoff.
