The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills season 13 is back, but the real drama may be brewing behind the scenes as one iconic couple has reportedly split.
Eight years into their marriage, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Dorit Kemsley and Paul “PK” Kemsley have reportedly called it quits, according to people close to the pair. While Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s marriage appears to be the main focus of RHOBH season 13, another RHOBH couple may be dealing with comparable problems. In the past, a lot of RHOBH viewers had trouble seeing the link between Dorit and PK, but many dismissed their worries as conjecture when Dorit repeatedly defended her relationship. The couple may have finally decided to call it quits after suffering together for a while.
Dorit and PK have reportedly “been living separate lives for about 2 months after she ended it,” per In Touch Weekly. While Dorit stays at their house with their kids, Phoenix and Jagger, PK has been staying at a hotel. She has been telling people that she fell out of love with him, but they decided to keep it a secret for the time being so it doesn’t damage the program, according to the insider. It’s probable that Dorit has been living apart from PK, who has been spotted without his wedding band, even though he has stayed public throughout the RHOBH season 13 premiere.
Dorit And PK’s Relationship Issues Explained
While Dorit has defended her marriage to PK in the past, the couple have been publicly struggling for many years. After marrying in 2015, it wasn’t long before cheating allegations were lodged against Dorit, who is nearly 10 years younger than her estranged husband. Accusations that Dorit was cheating on PK with Kyle’s husband Mauricio rocked the RHOBH cast for quite some time, until Dorit herself spoke out about the allegations. Though RHOBH alum Dana Wilkey lodged claims against Dorit and Mauricio, Dorit was quick to stomp out the flames with an appearance on Watch What Happens Live as well as on her own social media.
Dorit has given no mind to the rumors, but after Kyle and Mauricio’s split in early 2023 made headlines, things are looking more difficult for PK and Dorit. The RHOBH stars are facing a similar set of issues, though Kyle and Mauricio have chosen to co-habitate as they work through their marital issues. Dorit and PK seem to be having a more difficult time with one another, as PK has been living in a hotel. In a joint statement, Dorit and PK denied that they’re separated, but insist that they’re choosing to heal and change in the best way possible.
The conflict between Kyle and Mauricio in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is already testing the boundaries; now, Dorit and PK’s possible breakup would bring even more complexity to the mix. Although the pair has not officially announced their split, it is difficult to accept that there isn’t conflict in their relationship given PK’s absence from the wedding ring in the middle of years’ worth of persistent rumors. As the program enters a new season, viewers of RHOBH believe Dorit is starting a new chapter in her life.
