Sutton Stracke Shares a Surprising Update on Her Friendship with Erika Jayne

After several seasons of not getting along, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne are officially putting the past behind them.

The Sutton Concept owner and the Pretty Mess author’s issues with each other began on Season 11 of RHOBH, and they continued to disagree on the 12th season as well. However, during an event celebrating the anniversary of her clothing store, Sutton shared a surprising update on her friendship with Erika and revealed that the two have decided to move forward for one very simple reason.

“I think we got tired. I think we got tired of fighting. I think we just got worn out,” Sutton joked to Access Hollywood about her long-simmering feud with Erika. “You know, we’re both Southern, and we just were like… ‘Can we just please stop?’”

In addition to their shared Southern roots bringing them closer together, Sutton and Erika have something else in common: They’re both single.

As Sutton explained to Access Hollywood, she’s still looking for her perfect match. And while she hasn’t been checking her Instagram DMs to see if any eligible bachelors have slid in, she’s still open to the idea of meeting someone on the app.

“I don’t think that 51-year-olds know how to slide into the DMs,” Sutton joked. “They’re welcome to, [but] I don’t really check ’em. That’s my prob[lem], maybe I don’t check the DMs enough.”

Back on Season 12 of RHOBH, Sutton highlighted her sometimes complicated dating journey following her split from her boyfriend Michael. (She’s been divorced from Christian Stracke since 2016.)
