The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member shed new light on Tommy's life today.
Erika Jayne's adult son, Tommy Zizzo, has never been on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But, he has remained a major part of her life from behind the scenes. Erika has shared photos of him over the years, giving some looks inside her life as a mother. But, Tommy is a lot more private than his performer mom.
In an interview with The Daily Dish on Jan. 7, Erika gave a rare update on how Tommy has been doing these days. "My son Thomas is, you know, he's a grown man," she explained. "So, he has his own life."
While chatting with The Daily Dish, Erika also shared if her son has plans to come to see her in her upcoming stint as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway: "We’ll see," she said.

Although Tommy has not been on RHOBH in person, a photo of him has appeared on the show. This two-decades-old photo from 2004 was shared during the RHOBH Season 10, when Erika spoke about her son."My son is grown. He's 27 years old. It's a whole 'nother ball of wax," she said at the time.
Erika has also posted a more recent photo of Tommy, all grown up to her Instagram account. In May 2020, she shared a photo of her son, fully dressed up in his police uniform. "People say we look alike," she wrote in the caption. "No, you can't comment."

In an interview with The Daily Dish in 2022, Erika elaborated on her bond with her son and how he's supported her through her ups and downs: “My son’s been amazing... And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective. And it’s really nice.”

"My first husband and I, actually, had a great relationship — probably a better relationship divorced than married, and I'm very grateful [that] he never did anything like that, and we're still friends to this day," Erika explained. "I think that two people have to come and put the s--t [aside]."
