Erika Jayne shares first photo of her police officer son: ‘People say we look alike’ – Daily Mail

Erika Jayne has shared a photo of her police officer son on Instagram.

The 48-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who has protected her son’s privacy while pursuing her singing, acting and reality television career, shared the snap on Instagram on Tuesday.

‘People say we look alike. No, you can’t comment.’ Erika captioned the image and turned off the comments function for the post.

The photo shows Tommy, 28, in his LAPD uniform as he stands on a street corner in Los Angeles. 

Erika, real name Erika Girardi, was 20 when she had Tommy with ex-husband Thomas Zizzo. The couple split when Tommy was just a few years old.

Erika went on to marry attorney Thomas Girardi in 1999.

The blonde bombshell has previously said that Tommy has no interest in being on television and she respects his need for privacy. 

She told Megyn Kelly in 2018: ‘Not everybody wants to be on TV, believe it or not.’

‘I know that sounds crazy,’ she continued. ‘But, he’s in a dangerous line of work and he prefers his anonymity as much as possible and I agree with that.’

In 2017 Erika revealed to Andy Cohen that Tommy still lives at home with her and husband Tom and she proudly talked about how she’s happy to have him home, especially as Tom is away on business a lot.

‘I actually love having my son there,’ she said. ‘He’s free security, okay? Free security and he never lets me forget it. But, you know, Tom’s very busy and travels all the time. I travel all the time, and my son is super busy.

‘So it’s nice. We have a really big house, so it’s nice to have him there.’ 

She continued, saying, ‘And it’s nice; listen, let me be very honest, I worry about my boy as I’m sure everyone whose family member is in law enforcement or in the military [is], okay? It’s nice to hear him come home. It’s nice to hear him come off duty and I can see his car in the driveway or I hear him walk up the steps. To me, I sleep a little better at night just knowing that I know where he is.’

Tommy graduated from the Los Angeles Police Academy in 2014 and previously was a former explorer at the Jersey City Police Activity League.

She told the Daily Dish in 2018 that her boy was always destined to become a police officer.

‘It’s a dangerous profession. I’ve known my son was going to be in law enforcement from the time he could walk and talk,’ she said. ‘That’s all he’s ever wanted and that’s kind of your role as parent is to honor who your children really are.’
