Fans have seen firsthand how she runs her businesses, especially Republic Garden & Lounge, on Southern Hospitality. Amid the show’s inaugural season, Leva shared how she and her husband work well as business partners … and how they differ.
“Lamar tries to keep things very black and white, and that’s where we disagree. He is more about the bottom line and keeping things black and white, and I like to live in the gray,” she told The List in December 2022. “Business is run by humans, not machines. [In] the future, once we recognize that, we can build a lot cooler things and have more actualized [dreams], because you don’t have to necessarily be a business owner right at the top to have your dream actualized.”
Leva and Lamar also own Republic Development Management Group.

Leva landed the spinoff, Southern Hospitality, shortly after, but some of her Southern Charm costars “were not super thrilled” about her big move at first.
“You’ll see a lot of them make cameos in the show. But I definitely think there were some tricky feelings. Rightfully so. I mean some of these people are in the business now for several years and I can see that being tricky,” she told Us Weekly in November 2022. “Humans are humans and things get complicated. But I think we’ve all moved on and I think they’re all supportive. What I feel anyway … unless I see them and some other stuff happens, I feel as though they’re all being supportive at this point.”
