RHOBH: Erika Jayne is Reportedly Ready to ‘Fall in Love Again’
Erika Jayne is reportedly ready to "fall in love again" one year after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star filed for divorce from Tom Girardi. Recent reports claim that Erika has gotten back on the dating scene and has been on a number of dates with potential suitors. Erika has been trying dating apps for the first time considering it's been over 20 years since she was last single. Her dip back in the dating pool comes after her estranged ex-husband was photographed outside his assisted living facility with a mystery woman.
Season 11 has unearthed shocking cheating allegations Erika has made against Tom. As her marriage unraveled right before her eyes, the Bravo cameras were there to capture it all. Erika opened up over the season and during the RHOBH reunion about Tom's infidelity during their 20-year marriage and why she chose to stay with him. Erika has seemingly owned up to staying with Tom for the "access" to having her lavish lifestyle freely funded. But once the going got tough and Tom's legal woes reportedly became too much, Erika filed for divorce in November 2020.
Now, nearly one year later insiders are dishing on Erika's dating life and the recent date she went on. “She’s trying the dating pool because she’s really ready to move on with her life. She’s excited to fall in love again,” a source told HollywoodLife after noting how Erika isn't solely "focused on dating." Erika is just getting back out there and exploring her options should she choose to settle down. With production for season 12 underway, Erika is being forced to continue opening up about her personal life. However, when it comes to who she's dating, she's keeping that discreet for now. “She wants to keep that very private, but she’s feeling excited about this and happy in her life right now," the insider added.
Reports recently revealed that Erika has been dating men that work in entertainment and other industries. It's a new way of dating for the "Pretty Mess" singer due to how long she was married to Tom. While viewers would be interested to see who Erika is dating, she reportedly hasn't felt pressured to and would rather avoid it since she hasn't found a "specific suitor" just yet. “She’ll re-evaluate if it gets to that point, but producers are not pushing her to film her dates either," the source explained. During the reunion, Erika blasted Tom and accused him of having at least three mistresses during their marriage.
Erika claims she was forced to file for divorce because Tom refused despite his alleged mistreatment of her. Kyle Richards opened up during Part 2 of the reunion and admitted to having heard cheating rumors about Tom in the past but she didn't want to say anything out of fear of hurting Erika. Now that the walls of her marriage have come crashing down, Erika is owning up to remaining in a toxic marriage just for the money. That could explain why she's already secured her diamond for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. EST.
