RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Announces Separation From Husband PK Kemsley

Dorit and PK Kemsley discuss their relationship issues

Another RHOBH marriage is over! Dorit Kemsley has announced her separation from husband, Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley amid rumors about the status of their marriage.

On Thursday, Dorit Kemsley took to Instagram to address the speculation about her marriage to husband, Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley.

In the post, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star announced that she and PK were taking some time apart to amid their ongoing marital woes.

On Instagram, Dorit wrote:

“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of specualtion about our marriage. We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together.

To safe guard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutal and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.

We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.

With love, Dorit and PK.”

Throughout season 13 of RHOBH, fans saw Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley deal with some hiccups in their marriage. It’s was obvious to viewers that the couple were not on the same page as they once were. In fact, during the season 13 finale, Dorit expressed her concerns about the future of their marriage.

“I love my husband, but I just hope eventually, something can change because I have moments where I worry, will we be able to stay together? No matter how hard I try, it feels like he’s never gonna take me seriously and be as present as I need him to be when I need him, and maybe he’ll never change, but do I have to accept that he won’t? Can I? I don’t know,” Dorit said in her confessional during the RHOBH season 13 finale episode.

As Bravo fans may recall, Dorit and PK Kemsley butted heads during season 13 over the 48-year-old’s PTSD following a tarrying home invasion where she was held at gunpoint. PK failed to understand the depths of Dorit’s PTSD and felt some of the symptoms were “obnoxious.”

Dorit and PK Kemsley deny split rumors

Furthermore, PK Kemsley dubbed his wife “high maintenance,” while Dorit admitted that PK had become “mean” and “more harsh” in recent years. 

However, at the RHOBH season 13 reunion, earlier this year, Dorit insisted that she and PK were “better than ever.”

“PK was drinking a lot — and he’s a drinker — [but] I just think it’s difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much. So, he gave up drinking,” Dorit revealed. “He’s actually been sober for, I think, 49 days. That was a very pivotal moment so things are, knock on wood, as good as they can possibly be.”

Since October 2023, PK and Dorit have been plagued by gossip about their marriage. At the time outlets reported that they were “living separate lives” after eight years of marriage.

The RHOBH couple have continuously denied the gossip. Instead Bravolebs insisted that they “remain committed” to each other amid “challenging years” in their marriage.

RHOBH is expected to return to Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.

Always the skeptic, I find it very suspect that the two biggest events in Dorit's entire life (other than childbirth) occur literally within days (if not hours) of receiving a contract and filming a new season. This is becoming ridiculous; may as well rename the show The Real Divorcees of Encino.

I did not think of that... Good point E!!...

I believe this is all for a story line for Dorit to stay on the show.

So, one week we red that Mauricio has obtained a condo and is moving out of his family home. Then the next week we read that Dorit and PK are now separation. Makes one think...hmmmmmm.

Who's gonna get half of nothing?

I was reading this on another site and someone said the next step is Moe and Dorit should step out as a couple. Wow...explosion!!! I don't think that's going to happen but can you imagine what Kyle would do...worth at least a few seasons.?

That's too bad. PK hangs out with Mauricio so that had to have some influence on PK not wanting to remain married. I think they always screwed around. EJ blurting out at BravoCon that PK and Dorit were next is telling. Kyle probably spilled the tea that she received from her ex and Dorit and shared it with EJ. Not nice. Anyway, hope Dorit's okay and they work it out.

Not like we didn't know they were living apart last year. So PuKe can go away but sadly, it sounds like Doridiot will still be employed by Bravo unless the rumor is true that Kyle is demanding Dorit is fired. If they got rid of those two, the last one to get rid of would be Erika. Then they can hire some people who really are wealthy and/ not producing the show in their best interests.

#TeamPK. Dorit is high maintenance and annoying.

I did not care for PK when he first appeared but he has become one of my favorites... He is hilarious!!... Him talking about Erika wanting her husbands ankle fixed instead of his brain I could not stop laughing... Keep PK and let Dorit go...

That was funny!

There's nothing sacred about marriage anymore. It's really quite sad. I do think Dorit's "PTSD" was a bit much and, quite frankly, I would have been over it just as well. I'm sure PK has his faults too - because we all do!! All this being said - I do hope they can figure it out. I like the two of them together for one reason or another.
Zap It May 10, 2024 - 8:57 am
Well not in that world anyway. I think the only thing that's sacred is money.
