Erika Jayne Suggests RHOBH Cast Set Each Other Up on Dates: A Fun Idea or Reality TV Gimmick?

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne shared her playful idea for solving the dating woes of her castmates. The “Pretty Mess” singer, known for her bold personality and no-holds-barred approach to life, thinks the ladies of RHOBH should set each other up on dates.

Erika’s Matchmaking Plan: “It Would Be Funny”

“I think it would be funny if we all took turns setting each other up,” Erika told Us Weekly in April 2025. The 53-year-old singer, who has experienced her own share of ups and downs in the dating world, has some ideas about what her single castmates might need in a partner. “I think Kyle likes stable and calm and just, like, tall, dark and handsome,” she said of her co-star, Kyle Richards, who is long-separated from her husband.

As for herself, Erika’s dating preferences are no secret. “Money, success, men—plural. And a good time,” she jokingly added, shedding light on what she’s looking for these days.

The RHOBH “Wives” Problem: A Shift in Relationship Statuses

When RHOBH first launched in 2010, every cast member was married—except Kim Richards. But fast forward to Season 14, and none of the main cast members were in marital relationships during filming. Erika Jayne, Kyle Richards, and Dorit Kemsley were all separated from their husbands. Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke were single, and newcomer Bozoma Saint John was dating but not engaged or married.

This marked the first time that no cast member could technically be called a “wife” on RHOBH, sparking conversations about how the show’s dynamics have evolved over the years. Since then, Dorit Kemsley has filed for divorce from her husband PK, while Erika’s divorce from her ex-husband, Tom Girardi, remains unresolved since 2020.

Bravo Takes a Leap with Love Hotel Dating Show

While Erika is content playing matchmaker for her castmates, Bravo took a more direct approach by launching its own Real Housewives-themed dating show. Love Hotel, a spinoff featuring divorced stars from various Real Housewives franchises, is already causing a stir. The show stars Real Housewives of New York City OG Luann de Lesseps, Real Housewives of Orange County alum Shannon Storms Beador, and Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby. Filmed at the luxurious Grand Velas Boutique Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico, Love Hotel promises to be a whirlwind of romance and drama.

Conclusion: Setting Up the Cast for Future Drama?

Whether or not Erika’s matchmaking idea for the RHOBH ladies will come to fruition remains to be seen, but it’s clear that dating is now a central theme in the show’s evolving dynamics. With a mix of relationships in flux and new single women coming into the spotlight, the RHOBH cast is bound to deliver more drama, whether it’s through Erika’s lighthearted matchmaking ideas or Bravo’s more serious dating endeavors like Love Hotel.

Fans will likely keep tuning in to see how this plays out—and whether any RHOBH stars end up finding love thanks to Erika’s matchmaking or the twists of reality TV dating.
