After nine years of marriage, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Dorit and Paul Kemsley have announced their separation in a joint statement.
After nine years of marriage, Dorit and Paul Kemsley—who starred in Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—have chosen to call it quits. The reality stars said they had been having problems in their marriage and that they had mutually decided to make this difficult decision as they announced their separation on social media on Thursday.
Dorit, 47, and Paul “PK” Kemsley, 56, were dating for four years until they got married in 2015. Together, they have two children: Phoenix, age eight, and Jagger, age ten. There have been many rumors in the past few months regarding the couple’s marital difficulties.
Paul Kemsley and Dorit Announce Their Divorce on Instagram
The ex-couple posted a joint statement on their Instagram stories on May 9 that said, “There has been a lot of conjecture regarding our marital status. As two individuals who love each other and have two incredible children together, we have had our challenges over the past few years and are still working through them.
The couple went on to claim that to keep their relationship strong and provide their children with a calm environment, they needed some time apart. We appreciate your love and support as we continue to do the necessary work throughout this journey, they said. We have mutually agreed to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while putting our children first to maintain our strong friendship and provide a calm environment for our children. From Dorit and PK, with love.
2015 saw the couple’s marriage
When Paul, a real estate agent, and Dorit, a fashion designer, first met in 2011, they fell in love. Their son Jagger was born in 2014, following three years of courtship, and in March 2015 they were married in a ceremony held in New York. Phoenix, their daughter, was Dorit’s second child, born the following year.
Although the pair was doing well at first, things didn’t seem as promising in the years that followed. When the first tales of unrest in their paradise surfaced in October 2023, Dorit and Paul refuted separation rumors, saying that despite some difficult years in their marriage, they were still devoted to one another.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 had the pair discussing their problems as well. On their tenth wedding anniversary in March 2024, Dorit shared affectionate photos of herself and her husband on Instagram, denying reports that they were divorcing once more. Two months later, the couple announced their separation, signaling the end of their partnership.
