This reality show couple has been seen together on screen less and less on recent seasons. Months ago I began hearing that the terms of their relationship had been renegotiated. At that time the situation became even more “you do your thing, I’ll do mine” but they were still co-habitating.
The latest word is that she has a very pretty apartment of her own now. If they plan to officially divorce, I predict we have seen the last of them on the reality show. It could get messy. Or they may just continue staying legally married but living single. That said, she seems to be really pissed off by the competition.
I know this sounds like Erika Jayne and Tom… but wait, competition???
Trish, does the article pertain to Bravo reality only or all reality TV? Sorry first timer here…
Erika and Tom Girardi FTW – clues: Messy, pretty, earlier posts.
Wha??? Was Tom married when they met? And the clues you mention! I’m scouring TT for these clues now!!
Oh duh, I completely missed the title. I don’t think Tom was married when he met Erika.
Erika. leaving the housewives as well?
I hope it isn’t Erika and Tom. 🙁
Erica Dirardi. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Maybe she shouldn’t of said yes to everything, and how is she going to be able to afford $40,000 a month, she claims to do Erica Jane?
That’s why she makes a point to say that her EJ costs are covered without the use of TG AND why she makes a point to tell us that TG hasn’t read her book …. even though she only says nice things about him. Light bulbs going off in my brain!!!!! Flash, flash.
Don’t think it’s Erika, she is on the show alone. I think it’s Married to Med couple- Quad and her husband. Wasn’t she looking for the place in the last season?
Tom made several appearances in Erika’s first season, a few in the second, and next to none in this season.
I am 100% with the others, it’s Erika.
Stumped on this one!!Not many married couples left who have been on for several seasons…
Tamra and Eddie? Competition…
Nene and Gregg? She’ll never live in an apartment
Lisa and Ken? Not likely
Mo and Kyle? Doubt it
Quad is to obvi.
Sounds like Ericka and Tom. Certainly no one from NY.
Erika and Tom
I don’t think tom and erika see each other enough to iron out a new arrangement! I don’t think it’s them.
Renegotiated relationship sounds like an attorney is involved but wouldn’t Erika want a house in BH and a huge monthly allowance?
Their shared home is in Pasadena. However, RHOBH doesn’t make a strong point to clear that up. As long as you live 60 miles from 90210. Right? I watched the episode where Tom broke his ankle from carrying so much belly fat. ((Opinion)). She was not happy about being the devoted wife. It’s so obvious he is looking for an upgrade. Bye, bye Petty Mess. C-U-Next-Tuesday.
Apartment made sense for N.yC but none of them are married or in a relationship
Wait, didn’t Erika recently get some kind of apartment/condo/left? Wasn’t it this season when she debuted the “Erika Jayne Clubhouse”? I guess we now know why she couldn’t just set it up in that rather spacious Pasadena estate.
Oops, meant “loft”. And hell, I wouldn’t have any problem living in that sweet DTLA pied-a-terre.
It’s cheaper to keep her
Erika
This would also jive with her very tense and nasty attitude about everyone and everything and the flip answers at the reunion. She was not kind at all at reunion, especially very shady about the book and Tom’s part in it.
I always wondered how her alter ego played out with his clientele and image. I loved Erika but she has really taken a dark turn. Maybe this is why.
Nail on the head
Yep. We have a winner. Everything…EVERYTHING makes sense now.
Totally Erika and Tom. She needs constant adulation but Tom is an alpha male so she has to get it where she can find it….. even if she has to pay people to do so. She seemed absolutely miserable at the reunion.
Ah, so this is the RHOBH blind I was sensing! Yep, it has to be Erika. Tom’s been seen little on the show lately. Back in February, I got a little chisme from a friend who talked a lot about the circles Tom travels in, but not necessarily with Erika by his side. And apparently earlier today, Erika was posting cryptic tweets suggesting she wants off RHOBH.
What a “Pretty Mess”, indeed. Is there a pre-nup? If not, it’s going to be quite expensive to be them.
Lordy, I need me a Painkillr.
There is no pre-nup but when she shared that info she said that Tom is a smart enough lawyer that he doesn’t need one.
He has probably been very protective of his assets throughout the marriage.
Ashley Darby?
Vicki gunvalson and Steve – they did break up at one point and “patched” things up in time for new season
But did they get married? For Vicki’s sake, I truly hope not. Steve is a crooked cop who’s still up to no good with his quest to gain power in Anaheim. As much as I can’t stand her own slimy antics on RHOC, I can’t stand how she’s fallen into the arms of yet another “trick guy”.
Vicki deserves nothing less. They’re both slimy.
But would she move to an apartment? That house is hers, not Steve’s. And Orange County isn’t a great place to live in an apartment. New York would be a likely city for apartment living. Bev Hills and Atlanta maybe also.
Actually, there are some lively, urban parts of OC where an apartment or condo makes more sense, but I doubt Vicki would want to live in Downtown Santa Ana or the Anaheim Packing District. I do remember her threatening to sell her Coto house to find a smaller place near the beach a few years back, but she never followed through.
.So, was getting Erika on the show a way to get her set up on her own before separating? $40K a month is a lot of scratch for a glam squad.
Oh gawd, if he actually pulled a Kelsey Grammer… (though unlike Camille, I doubt Erika ever had her doubts about joining the RHOBH cast)
Like Camille!
She said she was earning enough to cover her glam squad now. Tom can move on, she is taken care of now. Either that or they will keep up the charade while she lives on an allowance. I guess Private Planes won’t be so available.
I am thinking back to last week when Erika seemed to have disdain about John Mellencamp. I reckon he doesn’t have to get out of bed to bring in enough to cover her Glam squad.
It’s even more ridiculously expensive for a glam squad which makes you look like a clown half the time. Lord, they must hate her.
Even though I never get it right, I love your blinds.
I’m sad to say I think it’s Erika and Tom. She hasn’t seemed to be herself this season – she used to talk all the time about how Tom indulged her Erika Jayne alter ego, and we saw them at dinner, etc. Now, it’s just not the same vibe. I read somewhere that Tom had a younger girlfriend, but nothing corroborated. That would account for her prickly personality and unpleasantness in the recent episodes. Hope it’s not them, I really thought they had a great love story going.
Great love story? Really? A self-indulgent hooker and her john who sponsored her look-at-me “pop star career”.
Omg, you hit the nail on the head!! Trurh!
Don’t tell me it’s about Tom… it’s about Tom.
LMAO – Perfect! Beware of the “Tom” cats!
Ha ha ha, oops did I type that out loud?
Yeah, Erika and Tom! So now we know it wasn’t about eternal love…
Erika and Tom. There have been rumors that he was seen out with a younger woman and they seemed very very close. He said is was a work colleague.
She got him bc she was young, beautiful etc – it was an upscale Sugar Daddy arrangement. So some younger blonde is now in an arrangement?
Erika ?
I think it’s Erika and Tom, too. Erika has been a little intense and off all season being mean to Teddi and not being her normal self.
I’m also thinking it’s Erika and Tom. I found it odd when she did DWTS that he never was in the audience and it’s right there in LA. Sad but not unpredictable.
Erika and Tom! This is the first time I’ve got 2 blind items right! Yippee skippy.
I wonder if Erika’s son is still living on their estate?
Lee Ann Rimes and Eddie C
Erika and Tom Girardi. That was my first thought before I even saw all the comments here!
I thought Ericka’s club was a remodel and part of the mansion not a place away from her home Tom was giving her space her own office.
I think it is Tamar and Vince. Tamar has her own apartment now and she filed for divorce. When she met him, he allegedly had a girlfriend and left her for Tamar. They are still together all the time but the season of their reality show was bad due to the constant disagreements.
I definitely think Erika and Tom. Let’s say hypothetically it is them…being what a high powered intelligent attorney he is and what is he worth money wise, do we think Erika would get a lot in the divorce? I would think he has as iron-clad of a prenup possible..??
It did peak my interest when someone just mentioned Tamra and Eddie??? That could be a possibility too…I hope not though…
She has said that they have no prenup.
Yeah, she said no prenup and that an attorney as good as Tom doesn’t need one anyway, there is always a way around one. Despite interest being piqued, this is sad. I liked their story and was rooting for them.
Why would we see less of Erika if she and Tom officially divorce? Plenty of housewives divorce and continue on their shows…….and why would it get messy? I don’t think it’s them.
I believe she’s become more invested in being Erika Jayne as opposed to Erika Gerardi. Their relationship seemed respectful, to the point of extreme formality. I think he was happy for her to have EJ to occupy her, but not at the cost of it being priority over him. She’s so hard to read.
If it’s Erika and Tom, seems rather late in the day for him – what is he, 78?? Still looking for love/lust? Sad.
RHOP……..
They were re-negotiating the pre-nup
She had gotten her own apt.
They have been filmed less and less together
ASHLEY & MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!! Final Answer……… 🙂
So now that we’re further ‘down the road’ are we fairly confident that it’s the Bedores?
Erika and Tom
