Reality Star Leva Bonaparte Quits 'Southern Charm' After 10 Seasons

In a recent interview at BravoCon 2025, Leva Bonaparte, a cast member of the reality show 'Southern Charm', revealed that she has decided to leave the series after 10 seasons. The 46-year-old reality star explained that her busy work schedule and the desire to focus on her businesses and family were the primary factors behind her decision.

Leva, who owns multiple businesses in Charleston, including the Republic Garden & Lounge, which is the focus of the 'Southern Charm' spinoff 'Southern Hospitality', also took a subtle jab at her former co-stars. She claimed that "not everybody works" on the show, and that she is the one who actually has a job and spends time with her child, unlike some of her co-stars who have nannies.

Despite her departure from the flagship series, Leva confirmed that she will continue to make occasional appearances on 'Southern Charm' as many of her friends are still part of the cast. She also revealed that she will remain a part of 'Southern Hospitality', where she can focus her energy on her business and the show that has found its footing this year.

As for the upcoming season of 'Southern Charm', fans can expect to see some drama unfold in the dating lives of the cast members. Austen Kroll, for instance, will end the season as a single man, while Craig Conover finds himself in a love triangle after his 2024 breakup from 'Summer House' alum Paige DeSorbo.
