Julia Lemigova is a woman of many careers and interests, so her move to television shouldn't be too surprising. But how did she get cast for Season 4 of "The Real Housewives of Miami?" According to Lemigova, her friendship with fellow Miami housewife Adriana de Mour landed her a spot on the show.

"When my friend Adriana [de Mour] invited me to join her on the show, I [had] never watched any of the franchises," Lemigova revealed. "I had no idea what to expect. All I knew is [that it's] reality TV, which means you have to be you. You have to be true to yourself ... you cannot lie to the camera because [the] camera will pick it up."

This aspect wasn't hard for Lemigova, who has lived in the public eye before due to her modeling work and her wife's tennis career. "I never pretend to be somebody else in my real life, so I thought, hmm ... This show might be a perfect fit for me," she continued. "I loved it from the beginning. I was a little bit shy in the beginning, which they told me is normal." (Rest assured, Lemigova told us that she went back and viewed the three OG seasons of "Miami" before filming started.)

Lemigova is ultimately happy she joined the cast, and that de Mour invited her. The two's relationship remained a focal point of Season 4, with many thinking their friendship leaned into flirtation territory. Still, Lemigova assured us that her marriage has never been better.
