Going down memory hill- Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi

In 1999, the couple said ‘I do,’ after first meeting in a location called Chasen’s. It’s located on the Western side of Hollywood. At 49, Erika was serving cocktails while at 81, Tom was a regular client in the area.

Erika confirmed how after she worked at the restaurant for around a year, she decided to slip her phone number to Tom. The details regarding her entire encounter and love affair are published in her memoir, titled, ‘Pretty Mess.’

And just six months after sliding her number, Erika explained how the engagement happened. And while their very public affair received judgments from all around, the couple acted like it never bothered them.

Much of the skepticism relates to the couple’s massive 33 year age difference. On most occasions, the star talked about justifying her 20 years of marriage.

While their relationship was very unconventional, fans and followers will miss seeing the couple together.
