Erika Jayne Announces Pregnancy With Handsome Coach Keith Hodges Just After Ex-Husband Sentenced To 7 Years In Prison
In a turn of events worthy of its own Bravo spin-off, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has shocked fans and castmates alike by announcing she is pregnant—yes, pregnant—with her new partner, celebrity fitness coach Keith Hodges. The stunning revelation comes just days after her controversial ex-husband, former attorney Tom Girardi, was officially sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and embezzlement charges.
Jayne, 53, who had publicly claimed she was “done with men” during the past season of RHOBH, shared the news via a glitzy Instagram video featuring Hodges lifting her in a ballroom set to her own single “XXPEN$IVE.” In the video captioned “New beginnings & baby joy 💙 #Blessed,” Erika is seen cradling a small baby bump in a sequined pink jumpsuit—naturally.
The news has taken the Housewives world by storm. Many fans questioned whether this was another PR stunt, but sources close to the star claim the pregnancy is “100% real,” and Erika has been “glowing with happiness” for the past few weeks. “She’s finally getting her life back,” an insider said. “Keith treats her like a queen, and this baby is a gift she never thought she’d receive at this stage of her life.”
Hodges, a 41-year-old fitness guru with a cult following on YouTube and Instagram, is said to have met Jayne at a charity fitness event in Malibu last year. The two quietly began dating in the fall but kept things under wraps amid her ongoing legal drama. “Keith didn’t care about the headlines,” the source added. “He saw Erika for who she really is—strong, loyal, and tired of being misunderstood.”
The timing of the announcement has raised eyebrows, especially as it came within 48 hours of Tom Girardi’s sentencing. While Erika did not mention her ex-husband directly, fans were quick to note the subtle shade. In her announcement video, an ornate courtroom gavel is seen breaking into glitter just as her baby bump is revealed.
Fellow Housewives were equally stunned. Lisa Rinna commented, “OMG BABY JAYNE!? Call Andy Cohen NOW!!” while Sutton Stracke, never one to miss a beat, quipped, “Didn’t see that coming… bless her heart.”
Despite the critics, Erika appears unfazed. In a statement to Bravo Daily Dish, she said, “Life has a way of surprising you. After everything I’ve been through, I didn’t expect this. But I’m grateful—and ready to dance into this new chapter.”
Bravo has not yet confirmed whether the pregnancy will be a major storyline in the upcoming season, but if history is any indicator, cameras are already rolling. As fans speculate about baby names (Glam? Diamond? Hustle?), one thing is certain—Erika Jayne is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s for a whole new reason.
