Erika Jayne Thinks It’s Time Housewives ‘Took Turns Setting Each Other Up’
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne is hoping her fellow costars will eventually find love again — and she’s ready for everyone on the show to help.
“Here’s the thing: We should all try to set each other up, because it would be kind of funny, honestly,” Erika, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, April 25, while attending the opening weekend of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. “I think it would be funny if we all took turns setting each other up.”
While Erika admits she’s not actively trying to hook up her costars — including Kyle Richards, who split from her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky after 27 years of marriage — she has an idea of what her friends look for in a romantic partner.
“I think Kyle likes stable and calm and just, like, tall, dark and handsome,” Erika explained. “Manifest that for her.”
Erika Jayne Says Dorit and PK Kemsley Were ‘Struggling’ in Their Marriage
Us confirmed that Kyle and Mauricio were taking a break in July 2023.
“Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while, but are still currently living together,” a source revealed to Us at the time, adding that the pair “are amicable while they figure out the next steps.”
(The pair wed in 1996 and share daughters Alexia, Sophia and Portia. Kyle also shares daughter Farrah Aldjufrie with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.)
Kyle is not the only RHOBH star who could arguably use some romantic life meddling — on Friday, Us confirmed that fellow cast member Dorit Kemsley filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, after 10 years of marriage.
In her petition, reviewed by Us, Dorit cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split and is seeking sole legal and physical custody of their son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. She is also seeking spousal support.
“Obviously, I reached out to her, but she’s got more important things to do than to talk to me right now,” Erika told Us of her reaction to the news that Dorit officially filed for divorce.
“This is sad,” she continued. “It’s a sad thing.”

Both Dorit and Kyle have been open about their relationships and confided in their RHOBH costars amid their splits.
“As of a week ago, I’ve chosen not to have much of a relationship with him,” Dorit said during the season 14 reunion show of her relationship with PK. “I said, ‘The way you’re making me feel in this moment, I don’t think I can have a relationship with you, even a friendship.’ That was less than a week ago, and I stand by it.”
While helping her friend navigate their prospective breakups and manifesting their next, perfect guy — when they’re ready to jump back into the dating pool, of course — Erika is also sharing what she hopes to manifest in her own life.
“Money success, men — plural,” she clarifies. “And a good time.”
