After a chaotic few years involving legal scandals, public divorce drama with disgraced attorney Tom Girardi, and a career rollercoaster that left her image under constant fire, Erika has finally reemerged on the scene—not just with new music and confidence, but apparently.

The reality TV diva was spotted this week in West Hollywood arm-in-arm with a mystery man who instantly grabbed attention—not for being a Hollywood heartthrob, but for being the exact opposite.

Towering at over 6’5”, bald, broad-shouldered, and rocking a rugged goatee, the man looked more like a nightclub bouncer than a Beverly Hills socialite.

TMZ confirmed shortly after that the man’s name is John McPhee, but friends and insiders reportedly call him “Shrek”—and yes, Erika’s well aware of the nickname.

So who is John “Shrek” McPhee, and how did he land one of the most controversial and glam reality stars in the game? According to sources close to Erika, McPhee is a former stuntman turned nightclub security consultant, with a past that’s just as intense as Erika’s public life.

“He’s not part of the Hollywood machine,” one insider revealed.

“That’s what she loves.

No agents, no PR reps, no fame-chasing.

Just a guy who’s got her back—and isn’t afraid to throw someone out if they get too close.

McPhee reportedly worked security for multiple A-list venues in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and has provided personal protection for some very big names—though he’s rarely seen on camera.

That is, until now.

The two were seen exiting Catch LA after what appeared to be a flirty late-night dinner, laughing and linking arms.

Erika, dressed in a fitted black mini dress and sky-high Louboutins, looked more relaxed than she has in years.

At one point, she even flashed a wink to the cameras—a signature move for someone who knows exactly what kind of headlines she’s about to generate.

Fans, of course, are torn.

Some are thrilled that Erika is moving on from the dark cloud of her legal battles and showing the world that she’s still got star power and sex appeal.

“We love this for her.

Let her live!” one fan posted.

But others are scratching their heads at the apparent mismatch.

“Wait—her new man is called Shrek? Is this a joke?” asked another on Twitter.

Cue the memes.

But Erika isn’t laughing at the name.

In fact, according to insiders, she loves it.

“She says he’s big, sweet, and protective—just like the movie character,” the source added.

“She thinks the nickname is hilarious, and she’s leaning into it.

This is a woman who wore latex on stage and released songs called ‘XXpen$ive.

’ She’s not afraid of a little irony.

Even Bravo insiders are reportedly buzzing about the potential for Erika’s new romance to become a plotline in the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Producers are said to be “highly interested” in featuring McPhee in at least one scene, though it’s unclear whether he’s open to filming.

“He’s private, but he’s loyal,” said one Bravo source.

“If Erika wants him there, he’ll show up.

As for Erika herself, she’s staying mostly silent—but she did post a cryptic photo to her Instagram Story: a champagne glass with the caption, “New energy.

Don’t need to explain it.

” That was all it took for her fans to go full detective mode.

“This man might not be Hollywood,” one fan posted, “but he just became Erika Jayne famous overnight.

For now, the relationship is still new, and neither Erika nor John has confirmed anything officially.

But based on the PDA, the insider confirmations, and Erika’s own playful smirk—this isn’t just a fling.

And if you’re still wondering about the name “Shrek”? Well, if the designer shoes fit… and he treats her like a queen, who really cares what he’s called?

Because in true Erika Jayne fashion, she doesn’t just walk into a room—she owns it.

And with “Shrek” at her side, it looks like she’s writing her next chapter exactly how she wants: unapologetically, unexpectedly, and with a whole lot of attitude.
