Actress Erika Jayne, famous for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been seen showing affection towards retired U.S. Army Special Operations Sergeant Major John McPhee, also known as ‘Shrek.’ On July 7, the two were captured in photos strolling around Los Angeles while running errands, looking relaxed and at ease with each other.
As reported by The Sun, Erika chose to forego her typical glamorous attire and instead wore a casual T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, a hat, and went without makeup for the outing. John McPhee maintained a relaxed style in a “Slaughter Things” shirt, cargo shorts, and Crocs.
Who is John ‘Shrek’ McPhee?
As a seasoned veteran of the special operations world, often referred to as the ‘Sheriff of Bagdad’ due to my time spent in that city, I’ve had the honor of serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan. My experiences have given me unique insights into life, particularly during and following my service. John McPhee is the name on my ID, but many know me by another title – a testament to the stories I carry with me from the battlefield.
In an interview with Megyn Kelly in May 2025, John shared, “I began my life married on 9/11, I’ve gone through multiple divorces. Life is tough because few understand the depth of my dedication. People often fail to recognize the irrationality of repeatedly choosing a path that could lead to your own demise.
He stated, “Marriage feels similar to being in prison. You can communicate from afar, but you won’t be returning anytime soon. When one is deployed for war, contact with home is limited to weekly calls; you don’t actually return home. This is challenging for everyone. Marriages that are flawless and without strife are the only ones that endure the hardships of war.
Here’s how Erika Jayne and John met
Erika Jayne and John ‘Shrek’ McPhee are believed to have formed a connection through their mutual passion for jujitsu. It’s reported that Erika started martial arts training in 2021, as she navigated her ex-husband, Tom Girardi’s, legal issues and safety concerns. John has shared that jujitsu practice has been beneficial for his blood pressure and joint health, with his doctor commenting on his improved health.
In November 2020, Erika initiated the process to separate from her husband, Tom Girardi. The divorce proceedings have been prolonged because of Girardi’s numerous lawsuits, a criminal embezzlement case, and his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. More recently, Tom was given an 87-month prison sentence for embezzling millions from clients. Erika has repeatedly maintained her innocence and has been found not guilty of any wrongdoing in this matter.
Erika Jayne mentions that she’s been casually dating since her breakup but hasn’t had a committed relationship yet. Unlike Erika, John McPhee doesn’t seem to have kids of his own. Erika has a son named Tommy Zizzo from a past relationship, and he works as a police officer.
