Julia Lemigova is friends with Captain Sandy Yawn and her wife, Leah Shafer.
In a 2023 interview, Lemigova previously said she was collaborating with Shafer on some music.
“‘Santa Baby’ came from a desire to do something for a good cause around the holidays,” Lemigova shared at the time, explaining the song was released to help raise money for GLAAD in support of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“I figured this was the perfect time to release a holiday-themed song,” she elaborated. “I got some additional coaching from my friend, Leah Rae Shafer, who helped me tap into a different side of the song. It was fun to share my own version.”

Guerdy Abraira and Julia Lemigova are no longer friends.
Lemigova and Abraira were once close friends, but their relationship unraveled this season after Lemigova threw a drink at Abraira, who later exposed her private texts.
With the reunion set to tape soon, Lemigova recently said in an interview she would want to ask Abraira what she wants and what her ultimate goal is.
“There is so much more, and I wish I could say more,” she added. “But honestly, stay tuned and then make your own decisions. I don’t hold grudges. I don’t have any animosity.”
