Southern Hospitality Cast: Who’s Dating Who? Inside the Bravo Stars’ Love Lives, Breakups, and Rebounds
Charleston’s reigning party crew brings the sparkle; their love lives bring the fallout. The 2022 Southern Charm spinoff follows Leva Bonaparte and her Republic Garden & Lounge staff, with Leva the lone married castmate as VIP servers turn up the heat.
If you watch Southern Hospitality for the chaotic nights at Republic, the love lives are the real last call. The Charleston crew talks a big game about being the life of the party, but relationships? Those get messy fast.
Quick refresher: what the show is
Southern Hospitality spun off from Southern Charm in 2022 and follows Leva Bonaparte and the staff at her Republic Garden & Lounge empire. Back in season 1, Leva was the only one actually married. The rest of the cast brought the drama, including VIP server Emmy Sharrett and then-bartender Will Kulp, who were one of the few legit couples at the time.
Where the romances went next
By April 2024, Maddi Reese finally let costar Joe Bradley out of the friend zone, which becomes a major storyline as season 3 kicks off. When season 3 officially premiered in January 2025, Emmy and Will showed up saying they had already ridden out one alleged cheating mess and were immediately hit with a second wave of accusations. Despite the noise, both keep saying they are in it for real. And looking slightly ahead, Bradley Carter starts putting his relationship with Julia Burgio front and center during season 4.
Who is with who (and how we got here)
- Leva Bonaparte — Married. In season 1, she was the only cast member with a ring.
- Emmy Sharrett — With Will Kulp. The couple weathered one alleged cheating situation before season 3, then faced a fresh round of accusations when season 3 premiered in January 2025. They maintain they are meant to be.
- Will Kulp — With Emmy Sharrett. He was a bartender back in season 1; he and Emmy are still presenting a united front despite the repeated allegations.
- Maddi Reese — Dating Joe Bradley. She moved him out of the friend zone in April 2024, and their status is a big focus at the top of season 3.
- Joe Bradley — Dating Maddi Reese since April 2024; their shift from friends to more drives early season 3 drama.
- Bradley Carter — With Julia Burgio. Their relationship becomes a storyline priority during season 4.
- Julia Burgio — With Bradley Carter, and the show starts actually paying attention to it in season 4.
If that timeline feels a little all over the place, you are not wrong. The short version: season 1 set the board, April 2024 kicked off Maddi and Joe for real, season 3 arrived in January 2025 with Emmy and Will fending off round two of cheating talk, and season 4 puts Bradley Carter and Julia Burgio under the spotlight.
