Erika Jayne and her husband lived separate lives, insider claims

Erika shared the news of her split via Instagram on Nov. 3. She wrote that after much consideration she had decided to end her marriage. The RHOBH star explained that it was a step she didn’t take lightly or easily. She said she still has “great love and respect for Tom” and the lives they built together.

According to In Touch, a source claimed Erika and Tom were “more like very close friends than husband and wife” before their split. The source alleged that the couple had been leading separate lives for a long time.

“Erika and Tom have led separate lives for years. [She] would go off touring and doing her own thing, and Tom would do his,” the source claimed.

The source added that the COVID-19 lockdown was the final nail in the coffin. Erika and Tom reportedly realized that their marriage “wasn’t working” and it was time to call it quits.

“The pandemic is having a mental impact on everyone, and Erika’s been reflecting on what she wants moving forward. Being married to Tom isn’t part of her plan,” the source alleged.

Rumors swirl that Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi were unfaithful

Tom is 32 years older than Erika; he’s 81, and she’s 49. The couple met in the late ’90s when she was working as a server at Chasen’s, a Los Angeles restaurant. The couple quickly got engaged and tied the knot in 1999.

Over the years, Erika has often found herself defending her marriage, especially when she joined the cast of RHOBH.

“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 said during an April episode. “It’s great to have financial support. But having someone’s emotional support is something that I wish I had more of growing up.”
