Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi are getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi are getting a divorce.
Their split sent shockwaves through the showbiz circuit after the reality stars were married for 21 years.
They had a 33-year age gap as Erika is 49 and Tom is 81 but they always, always defended it.
Erika broke the news she had called time on their marriage.
“After much consideration, I have decided to end my marriage to Tom Girardi,” she told E! News.
“This is not a step taken lightly or easily. I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together.
“It is my absolute wish to proceed through this process with respect and with the privacy that both Tom and I deserved… I request others give us that privacy as well.”
Erika and Tom’s love story spans back to when they first met at Chasen’s in West Hollywood.
Sparks were flying while she was serving cocktails and he was a frequent visitor to the hotspot.
It was like a fairytale as just six months after their meeting, they were engaged to be married.
They tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in 1999.
In a furious foul-mouthed tirade, Erika shut down haters over their 33-year age gap.
She said previously: “I’m tired of having to justify my 20-year marriage.
“Go get a 20-year marriage and then come f**king talk to me.”
Erika was married before to Thomas Zizzo.
