Erika Jayne is opening up about her new romance with John 'Shrek' McPhee.
The 54-year-old media personality revealed that her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars haven't been introduced to him yet.
She shared with Us Weekly, 'No, no one's met him. I kind of like it like that. It's because I like him and I know how bad these things are for your relationship.'
The star, who is estranged from husband Tom Girardi, explained, 'Like, I’ve gone through too much on this. I would like to keep that relationship special and over here if I could.'
Jayne's prior relationship played out on the Bravo series, depicting her marriage and divorce from 86-year-old Girardi, who was recently sentenced to seven years in prison for embezzlement.
She said about her new boyfriend: 'He’s never seen the show, doesn’t know anything about it.'

On her Diamonds In The Rough podcast in July, Jayne revealed that McPhee has his own reality TV connection, as he's employed as a private security guard for The Hills star Heidi Montag.
Over the summer she was photographed holding hands with McPhee before visiting a nail salon.
The mom-of-one said about the incident, 'We didn’t know we were going to get manicures and pedicures. Like, this was not part of the plan.'
She appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday night, and opened up even more about her budding relationship.
Jayne told host Andy Cohen that she and her beau have been dating for six months, after meeting in London earlier this year.
The star also revealed that amongst her friend group, she's the one who has the worst taste in men.
But she quickly clarified: 'I'd like to say the person I'm currently dating is a very nice person.'
The singer went on to share that the couple will be spending the holidays together.

On her podcast in July Jayne revealed that McPhee has his own reality TV connection, as he's employed as a private security guard for The Hills star Heidi Montag.
She recalled meeting her new boyfriend thanks to an encounter with Montag at an event in London.
'It was random because [Heidi] went on, and then I went on after her,' Jayne recalled, via Just Jared. 'I thought, "That’s that guy from the podcast. I’m gonna walk up and say hello." So I did.'
'I walked up and I introduced myself and I was like, "Hey, my name is Erika, and I’ve seen a couple of podcasts. I’m a fan,"' she said.
Even though McPhee — who is nicknamed 'the Sheriff of Baghdad' — tends to work behind the scenes, he has a sizable social media following.
He also has a strong relationship with Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt after having worked for them for years, and he serves as the godfather to their son Gunner, eight.
