Dorit & PK: The Untold Story of Their Decade Together
Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s decade-long marriage has come to an end.
On April 25, 2025, *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star officially filed for divorce from PK, citing irreconcilable differences. This development follows nearly a year after the couple initially announced their separation in May 2024 via a joint statement on their respective social media accounts.
“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,” they wrote at the time. “We have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.”
Dorit and PK exchanged vows in 2015, having welcomed their first child, a son named Jagger, the year before. In 2016, Dorit gave birth to their daughter, Phoenix. PK also has three children from a previous marriage: daughters Atlanta and Tatum, and son Daniel.
One year after Phoenix’s arrival, Dorit made her debut to the Bravo audience during season 7 of *RHOBH* in December 2016. The reality star shared that she and PK were excited about appearing on the show and were determined not to let public criticism impact their marriage.
“We don’t really let outside influences come into our little tight bond because it’s me and him, and we are so the yin and yang,” Dorit explained. “As far as the negative attention, he just says, ‘Oh, who cares? We are who we are.’ ”
However, by 2022, speculation surrounding the state of Dorit and PK’s relationship began to surface after fellow *RHOBH* star Erika Girardi suggested at an event that they might be the next couple from the network to split.
From their Great Gatsby-inspired wedding ceremony to their journey as a couple on *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, here’s a look back at Dorit and PK Kemsley’s relationship.
Their First Date Was at a Jersey Boys Show
The couple first connected in 2011 through mutual friends in New York City while PK was there for work. Dorit revealed that they “didn’t really have our first official date for a couple of months” after initially “went out as a group.”
Nevertheless, the reality TV star acknowledged that there was “a very clear chemistry” between them. However, PK had recently separated from his wife and “had a whole life before” her, stopping the entrepreneur from initially pursuing a relationship.
Dorit recounted that she initially declined PK’s first date invitation because she had plans to travel to Hong Kong for work. However, she later changed her mind, believing that her recently deceased grandmother had sent him as a sign.
“He asked me to postpone my flight … We went out and have been inseparable from that first night,” Dorit said, adding that her former husband relocated from Los Angeles to New York six months later.
Their first date was at the musical *Jersey Boys*, where “it was very clear” they had a connection. “I think when he saw that I was just like dancing around and enjoying it so much, I think for him he thought, ‘OK, this is definitely my kind of girl,’ ” Dorit shared.

Dorit and PK Had a Great Gatsby-Themed Wedding in 2015
After dating for nearly four years, Dorit and PK tied the knot on March 7, 2015, with a Great Gatsby-inspired ceremony at Rockefeller Center’s Rainbow Room in New York City.
“It was everything we wanted,” Dorit said, adding that the venue was “elegant, warm and luxurious with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline.”
During the evening, Dorit and PK shared a dance to “My Eyes Adore You,” a song from the *Jersey Boys* musical they attended during their first date. The couple’s close friend, Boy George, performed for their guests to close out the night.
“I felt like I was floating outside my body,” said Dorit. “I was filled with love and completely euphoric.”
They Share Two Children
Before their 2015 wedding, Dorit and PK expanded their family with the arrival of their first child, Jagger, on Feb. 11, 2014.
They became a family of four in 2016 when Dorit gave birth to their daughter, Phoenix, almost exactly two years after Jagger on Feb. 23. Soon after their second child was born, Dorit joined the cast of the seventh season of *RHOBH*.
PK Was Supportive of Dorit Joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Dorit was introduced to the cast of *RHOBH* in 2016. After joining the reality show, Dorit admitted PK didn’t mind the attention their family received.
“PK’s cool. He likes it. He likes the thrill of it,” she said. Heading into the show, Dorit said she had no worries about their relationship faltering due to the “tight bond” they shared.
“PK and I are so solid. We just are,” she added. “We connect. I mean, I’m OK on my own, but then I’m with PK [and] I’m whole, and it’s the same for him. So therefore no outside influences and nothing that anyone can say can seep in or create waves between him and I.”
Dorit’s Costars Speculated About Their Relationship on *RHOBH*
Speculation about the couple’s marriage seemingly ignited when Dorit’s costar Erika claimed they’d be heading to “splitsville” during a game at an event in 2022. Dorit confronted the singer about her “mean-spirited” comment during the premiere of *RHOBH* season 13, where she apologized for giving “a shady answer” to “a shady question.”
Dorit and PK denied rumors they were separating in October 2023. The couple admitted to facing “some challenging years” following Dorit’s struggles with PTSD after she was robbed at gunpoint in her home with her children while PK was working in London in October 2021.
However, they made it clear at the time that they did not plan to break up then.
“We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage,” their statement read. “We are doing what we can to focus on the best interests of our family, as opposed to spending our time contending with rumors and hearsay that are not true.”
Dorit addressed the rumors surrounding her marriage at the *RHOBH* season 13 reunion in March 2024. She cited the 2021 home invasion and PK’s frequent traveling as points of tension for the couple but said they had been “working through things” and were doing “better than ever” when he chose to quit drinking.
“PK was drinking a lot and he’s a drinker. I just think that its very difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much, so he gave up drinking,” she told host and producer Andy Cohen and her costars. “That was a very pivotal moment, so things are — knock on wood — as good as they can possibly be.”
They Announced Their Separation in May 2024
Dorit filed for divorce on April 25 — one day after PK was photographed kissing and holding hands with another individual.
In court documents, the reality star requested sole legal and physical custody of the pair’s children and spousal support.
