Are James Kennedy, Ally Lewber, and Leva Bonaparte the trio we never knew we needed?

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

On this splendid holiday season, the Vanderpump Rules couple took a break from their Los Angeles lifestyle to enjoy some time in Charleston, South Carolina. And while The Holy City provides a variety of attractions and restaurants to keep James and Ally entertained, it's only natural for them to visit a notable hot spot owned by a fellow Bravoleb.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on November 21, Ally shared two videos with her followers offering a glimpse into her and James’ trip. In the first clip Ally seemed eager to be on the East coast, despite the inclement weather, as she showed off the insane view from a balcony.

“Hey guys, we are here in Charleston,” Ally explained in her Story while turning the camera to the ocean. “There’s the water. As you can see it's pretty cloudy — it is raining pretty hard today, so we’re just staying inside and doing puzzles and online shopping.”

A few hours later, Ally and James bundled up in their outdoor gear and decided to explore what the historic town had to offer, which included stopping by Leva’s Republic Garden & Lounge.

Of course, Ally documented the stint on her Instagram Story, saying, “Hey guys, we’re at Republic, shout out to the hospitality.” While filming the bit, James resorted to his comedic ways, quipping his girlfriend at the end, “Do they have pump-tinis here?”

When it came to Leva’s reaction to the Vanderpump Rules and Southern Hospitality crossover moment, she was all for it, as she reshared Ally’s post along with the message, “Literally the sweetest person I met at [BravoCon].” She added, “And of course we love [James Kennedy].”
