RHOBH Star Erika Jayne Reveals Boyfriend John McPhee, Bodyguard to Heidi Montag

Erika Jayne, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been spotted holding hands with John “Shrek” McPhee, a retired U.S. Army Special Operations Sergeant Major and Delta Force Operator known as the “Sheriff of Baghdad.” John, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and is also a bodyguard to reality TV personalities Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, has been divorced several times and has spoken about the challenges military life poses to relationships. Erika, who is still legally married but separated from her now-incarcerated husband Tom Girardi, appears to have found a new connection with John, possibly bonding over a shared interest in jujitsu, which Erika began practicing in 2021 amid her legal and personal struggles. The couple was seen casually dressed and comfortable together, marking Erika's first public display of a serious relationship since her split. John has a significant social media following, sharing moments with other reality TV figures, while Erika has said she has been open to love after rebuilding her life. Their relationship is expected to be featured more in the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
