The new Southern Charm star wed Lamar Bonaparte in 2013, and the two are partners in both life and business. They own several restaurants and bars on Charleson's famous King Street, including Bourbon N' Bubbles, 1st Place, Republic Garden & Lounge, and Mesu. The latter restaurant is also partly owned by Leva's co-star, Craig Conover.

The two met on Leva's 29th birthday, and they bonded over their strong work ethics.

Those who stalked Leva on Instagram before Southern Hospitality debuted may have noticed that the restaurateur rarely posts content with her husband. Many viewers were surprised, then, when Lamar also appeared on the show.

Leva explained to Decider that Lamar wanted to be on the show to support her, but that it's definitely not something he's overly comfortable with.

"My husband's a super private guy. He doesn't even like taking pictures. It definitely is far from his wheelhouse of comfort. But he's excited for me, and he knows that I was having a great time and that I enjoyed it. It was sort of a no-brainer for me: it was like the universe was handing it to me, and I was like, 'OK. Time to put your big girl pants on and do this thing,'" Leva shared. "So he's very supportive."

Longtime fans of Southern Charm have seen their fair share of slightly dysfunctional relationships over the years (read: Kathryn and Thomas, Austen and Madison, and Craig and Naomie), so it's quite refreshing to see the solid foundation that Leva and Lamar have.

Southern Hospitality airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
