Dorit Kemsley’s marriage to Paul “PK” Kemsley appears to be as dead as her semi-defunct Beverly Beach clothing company. The castmate of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills revealed on Thursday that she has split from her nine-year husband. Just two months ago, at the season-13 reunion that aired in March, Dorit declared the pair was “better than ever.” The Kemsleys said in a joint statement shared to each of their Instagram Stories, “We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage.” “As two people who love each other and share two amazing children, we have had our challenges over the last few years and continue to work through them.”
“To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children,” the statement said. As we carry on with the labor required along this trip, we value your love and support. Fondly, PK and Dorit.
PK’s drinking, PK’s hectic travel schedule, and Dorit’s PTSD from a 2021 home invasion were all topics of contention between the two during season 13 of the Bravo series. The pair formally denied reports they were splitting up in October of last year in a statement to People. “We are still dedicated to working through these problems as a married couple for our family,” the ex-couple stated at the time. “Neither have we parted nor do we intend to do so. Instead, our priorities are on getting well, changing, and doing the necessary actions that many couples must do at some time in their marriage.
The possible breakup of Dorit and PK would make them the second big RHOB couple to split up in the past year, after Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky. My main wish going ahead is that Phoenix and Dorit’s son Jagger be fully protected. That kid is much too pure to be on Housewives!
