Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne reportedly turned to another reality star more than twenty years her junior for her latest summer fling.
The 53-year-old singer 'hooked up' with fellow Bravo star Jesse Solomon, 31, after the taping wrapped on the May 14 episode of Watch What Happens Live, which he appeared on, a source claimed to People on Thursday.
Erika — who recently showcased her summer body — reportedly met the Summer House star when they both attended a rehearsal for the NBC Upfronts presentation, which featured segments promoting both of their reality series.
The two 'were seen getting cozy together at a private cocktail party the network threw for talent at the Mandarin Oriental,' the source said.
Erika and Jesse were said to only have eyes for each other, as they allegedly ignored most of the other attendees in favor of chatting with each other on a couch away from the rest of the crowd.

The fact that they allegedly kept to themselves most of the night didn't go unnoticed by the other party guests.
'It was the talk of the party,' the source said. 'You could definitely see there was a spark between them.'
During his appearance on WWHL, host Andy Cohen interrogated Jesse about his relationship with his costar Lexi Wood.
The two dated during season nine of Summer House, but she was seen breaking up with him in the second-to-last episode of the season after just eight weeks together.
'I feel like you aren't ready for the relationship I'm looking for,' she told him at the time as she explained that she was on the hunt for a 'deep[er]' relationship than what she thought he could offer.
Jesse claimed on WWHL that he was blindsided by Lexi breaking up with him at dinner, and he told Andy that he went into that date thinking that they were on solid footing.
While Jesse is newly single, Erika is technically still married to her estranged husband Tom Girardi.
She filed for divorce from the 85-year-old personal injury attorney in 2020, but he has been embroiled in legal drama for years, culminating with his conviction last year for wire fraud and embezzling after he was accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars from his own clients.

Girardi, who was facing numerous lawsuits, was placed into a conservatorship in early 2021 due to struggles with memory loss, and he was later diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Erika also faced scrutiny, as she was accused of knowingly spending vast sums on lavish luxuries with money her husband had embezzled.
She was sued in 2020 for fraud by her husband's former partners who accused her of being involved in her schemes, but a judge determined in 2022 that she was not involved with her husband's wrongdoing.
Late last year, Erika explained to Entertainment Tonight that her divorce from Tom was still not finalized because it was 'the least' of her concerns.
She noted that he hadn't even been sentenced at the time.
Tom was originally scheduled to be sentenced in December 2024, but the judge delayed sentencing as Girardi's attorneys argued that he should receive more testing to determine his mental state.
They also urged the judge to allow him to go to a medical facility to address his worsening dementia, rather than be sent to prison.
