Andy Cohen Weighs in on Erika Jayne and Jesse Solomon Hook Up Rumors, and Offers Update on RHORI

Bravo fans have been abuzz since the news that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne hooked up with Summer House‘s Jesse Solomon. Now, Andy Cohen is weighing in with his thoughts on the matter as well as reacting to rumors of Dolores Catania becoming a cast member on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. 

As fans know, reports recently surfaced that Erika, 53, and Jesse, 31, had a romantic encounter after filming an episode of Watch What Happens Live on May 14th. They had apparently met earlier in the month at an NBC Upfronts rehearsal. Still, the insider says there is nothing serious between the two Bravo stars. 

Andy was on the red carpet for Hoda Kotb’s Joy 101 launch event, and US Weekly asked Andy about the romantic connection between Erika and Jesse. The WWHL host responded, “I’m in favor of everyone hooking up.”

Notably, this news of the Summer House star hooking up with Erika comes after Jesse has been accused of gaslighting Lexi Wood on the show. The two seemed to have a strong connection from the start, but she later referred to him as being “dangerous to date.”

US Weekly also asked Andy for an update on RHORI. Specifically, the interviewer asked about the rumored inclusion of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores. He said to the outlet, “You know what, we haven’t even started shooting yet.” This comes after a source reported, “Dolores may be appearing on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, but not necessarily in a friend or full-time capacity. She has authentic roots there, and the idea is she would set a tone but not as an official cast member.”

Andy also recently spoke to PEOPLE about the rumors of Dolores being cast on the new series. He revealed at the time, “I think that’s been a little overstated. It’s really about who’s in Rhode Island.” The Bravo host also called the show “Italian with a capital I.”
