Erika Jayne has shared insights into her current relationship with boyfriend John “Shrek” McPhee, emphasizing that while they are enjoying each other’s company, she has no immediate plans for marriage. The star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” opened up during the latest episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show,” stating her hesitance towards tying the knot once more, especially following her tumultuous split from former attorney Tom Girardi.
Jayne expressed her feelings candidly, saying, “No, I don’t think so. I’m still married … I don’t want to give anybody these problems, does that make sense?” Although still legally married to Girardi, who is serving a prison sentence for fraud, Erika is focused on her new relationship, which began in July 2025 when the two were photographed together after a day out. Remembering their first encounter, she said, “I met him in London, then he took me to dinner, and then we saw each other again.”
The cast of “RHOBH” has chimed in on Erika’s romantic life, with Kyle Richards suggesting she has no trouble finding a partner if she wished. Newcomer Amanda Frances echoed this sentiment, hinting that Erika can attract many potential partners. Other cast members, including Sutton Stracke, Jennifer Tilly, and Kathy Hilton, inferred that Erika is currently seeking companionship rather than a serious commitment, with Tilly commenting, “I think she’s looking for somebody to have fun with…someone who’s good in bed.”
Although a marriage may not be on the horizon, Jayne affirmed that her relationship with McPhee is thriving, stating, “we’re still together and having a great time.” Reflecting on her past with Girardi, she noted the emotional weight of their divorce after 21 years of marriage, admitting that it remains a painful experience: “It f–king sucks. Knowing that person and being married to that person for that long… that’s heavy.”
Through her resilience, Erika Jayne continues to navigate her personal life while managing the complexities of her previous marriage, keeping an open heart as she explores new avenues of love and friendship.
