Erika Jayne<\/a> is now in a relationship with John McPhee<\/a>, but she was in a long-term marriage several years ago with businessman Tom Girardi<\/a>. Four years before he went to prison for four counts of wire fraud in August 2024, Erika filed for divorce, alleging infidelity.<\/p>\n

The divorce has not yet been finalised due to Tom’s legal and mental incompetence, as all divorce proceedings must go through his conservator, but Erika announced her separation from Tom after 21 years of marriage together in November 2020.<\/p>\n

The following month, a major lawsuit was filed against them both, accusing Tom of embezzling millions of dollars in settlement funds from his law firm, Girardi Keese, that were meant for victims of a fatal plane crash. It was really messy, and played out on RHOBH<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The following year, Girardi was diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia. Erika\u00a0was dismissed from the suit. Her ex-husband was found guilty and is serving seven years and three months behind bars. He was served on his 86th birthday.<\/p>\n

He’s been in prison for six months, having first began the sentence in July. Erika told her co-star Sutton Stracke on RHOBH<\/a>: \u201cI said this to somebody the other day, I just kind of hoped he\u2019d die before he\u2019d go to prison, just so he could get it over with.”<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see him walk down the courtroom steps like that knowing he\u2019s going to die in prison, that\u2019s heavy on any level,\u201d she said. Erika has been single for five years as her divorce is ongoing, but is now in a relationship with John McPhee.<\/p>\n
