Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Erika Jayne, has always kept her son, Tommy Zizzo Jr., out of the spotlight but has shared heartwarming sentiments about him. In 2020, Jayne spoke about her close relationship with her son, who is now nearly 30 years old, reflecting on their bond and his adult perspective on things.
Tommy, who is a Los Angeles police officer, is Jayne’s son from her previous marriage to Thomas Zizzo. The couple split shortly after Tommy’s birth in 1992.
In a surprising turn of events in 2025, Tommy Zizzo made headlines when he testified at A$AP Rocky’s assault trial. A$AP Rocky, facing charges related to a shooting incident, was accused of firing shots at a former friend. Zizzo, as one of the responding officers, played a crucial role in the case.
Despite her celebrity status, Jayne has consciously shielded her son from the public eye to respect his privacy as a police officer. She has always been grateful for the support she has received from both Tommy and her former husband, especially during her legal and financial struggles.
Addressing criticism of her son’s profession, Jayne has fiercely defended Tommy, highlighting his dedication to serving and protecting others regardless of skin color.
In her 2018 book, “Pretty Mess,” Jayne candidly reflects on her shortcomings as a wife but emphasizes that she was always a devoted and caring mother to Tommy. Despite the challenges she faced, Jayne prioritized her son’s well-being and made difficult decisions to ensure his happiness and safety.
