Many may remember that in the midst of Erika Jayne’s separation from Tom Girardi, the latter experienced a break-in, and Tommy Zizzo had been on hand to help his stepfather. Girardi wasn’t the only one to receive Zizzo’s support during that time, though. Speaking on Bravo’s “The Daily Dish” podcast in 2022, Jayne shared that her son had been by her side throughout the separation and all the legal woes she faced post-split. 

“The silver lining to all of this s*** is that our relationship is stronger. My son and I, we’ve really come together,” she said in the interview. Jayne added that in addition to being close throughout the experience as mother and son, she had also loved hearing his take on everything, as a full-fledged adult. However, she added that while his adulthood meant their relationship had got to a point where they spoke like friends, they were mother and child first and foremost. “I am [and] will forever be his mother. And, you know, I still have to cook when he comes over,” she told the podcast. 

Further than that, Jayne has kept the details about their relationship private — and we’re not anticipating that changing any time soon. During her interview on “Radio Andy,” she confirmed that she’s committed to doing whatever it takes to honor his preference for privacy. “He didn’t choose this life, I chose this life,” she explained.
