We’re told that Jim and Elizabeth are great golfers and initially hit it off because of their shared love of the sport.
No word if they’ve talked about their mutual ‘RHOC’ connection, though. Remember, Jim was previously married to current ‘RHOC’ star Alexis… and Elizabeth previously starred on the 15th season of the Bravo hit.
While the relationship is still new, we’re told “sparks are flying” between the pair… and the pair look seriously loved up in photos obtained by TMZ from a recent date night.
Sources say Elizabeth has been trying to find “The One” following her divorce from billionaire husband Bernt O. Bodal – which was completed in 2020. Elizabeth’s romantic journey wasn’t easy… especially after an ex-boyfriend kept her captive at his Newport Beach home for hours in 2022.

Because of this story, we are told that Elizabeth – who is a rich, self-made woman – is very worried that people are after her for the wrong reasons… yet, it appears that she has found her happy ending .

Of course, we’re sure Bravo fans are about to have a field day during the match… given the pair’s connection to another complicated love triangle in the ‘RHOC’ universe.
Fans of the reality show will know that Jim’s ex, Alexis, is currently engaged to John Janssenco-star’s ex-boyfriend Shannon Beador.

John left Shannon with Alexis not long after his and SB’s relationship finally ended for good in September 2023. Understandably, there has been a lot of attention on Shannon, Alexis, and John for most of season 18.
However, the situation looks more like a love rectangle now that we can add Jim and Elizabeth to the mix!!!
We contacted Elizabeth’s manager, David Weintraub …so far, no response.
