These Photos Offer a Rare Look at Erika Jayne’s Son & Their Life Together
The RHOBH cast member shares an inside look at her son, Tommy, from childhood to today.
Erika Jayne's son, Tommy, may never have appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but over the years Erika has revealed details on her life as his mom, as well as his own life and career today.
There aren't too many photos of Erika's son that she's released, but she has shared some photos of Tommy over the years, including childhood snapshots with her son, with whom she shares with her ex-husband, Thomas Zizzo.
Erika has revealed insight into how she navigated being a young mom (she was only 20 when she had Tommy with her ex-husband) and revealed the family member she's leaned on over the years. "I did the best I could with what I had, and thank god we're super close. I had a lot of help," she told Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave on her podcast earlier this year. "My first husband had his mother who was very involved so my son had his grandmother on his side. There was my mother and my grandmother was alive at the time, so my child had many hands on him, and I was there too."
In addition to spilling details on their family life, Erika has shared that when Tommy was a kid, she made traveling together a priority. "I took this picture on New Years’s Day in Tanzania years ago. This trip was one of our favorites," she wrote. "Travel with your children, show them the world."
In a throwback interview with The Daily Dish, Erika revealed her philosophy as a parent: "There wasn’t a lot of free[dom]. I believe in rules and I believe in, you know, constantly having those followed."
How old is Erika's son Tommy?
As of 2024, Tommy is 32 and, yes, they remain close. "I see him three times a week, he's at my house, everything is great," she shared with Teddi during that 2024 podcast appearance.
When speaking to The Daily Dish in 2022, she also shared that she does reach out to her son, Tommy, for advice if she needs it now that he's all grown up. “My son’s been amazing. I will say this: The silver lining to all of this sh-t is that our relationship is stronger. My son and I, we’ve really come together. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective,” she said. “And it’s really nice.”
What does Erika's son Tommy do for a living?
Erika's son Tommy Zizzo works as a police officer. She shared a photo of him in uniform back in 2020. "People say we look alike. No, you can’t comment," she captioned the photo with a laughing-crying emoji. (For what it's worth, we do think they look alike!)
What does Erika Jayne's son Tommy's life look like today?
While Tommy remains private, in an interview with The Daily Dish earlier this year, she revealed how her son is doing. "He's great," she said. "He's really good.
And, you can bet she couldn't be prouder of Tommy, as she shared with Teddi on that podcast appearance. "Fortunately for me, I had a really great kid, so I got super lucky," she said. "He's a great guy.
