Shortly after their first meeting in 2011, Dorit Kemsley and real estate developer Paul “PK” Kemsley hit it off, leading to a blossoming romance, despite facing their fair share of challenges over time.
Recalling the early days of their relationship during an interview with Bravo’s Daily Dish in September 2020, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared, “Well, we met and we didn’t really have our first official date for a couple of months. We had a few things in common, so we went out as a group. … But [the chemistry] was very clear, very apparent.”
Following a whirlwind romance, Dorit and PK became parents to son Jagger in 2016. They tied the knot a year later in March 2015, and their family grew further with the arrival of daughter Phoenix the following year. (PK, originally from England, also has two children from a previous relationship.)
“I’d like to stay married to PK for the rest of my life,” Dorit exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2021. “Even though … they say that there’s the marriage curse on Housewives and divorce that happens when they join, I think if you have a strong marriage, then that’s what stands the test of time.”
In May 2024, Dorit announced her separation from PK after nearly a decade of marriage. Nearly one year later Us confirmed that Dorit officially filed for divorce.
