RHOBH couple Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley deny reports that they have separated and instead insist they are “committed” to their marriage.
On Wednesday, ahead of the season 13 premiere of RHOBH, In Touch released a report claiming that Dorit Kemsley and her husband, Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley, are “living separate lives” after eight years of marriage.
A source told the gossip outlet:
“They’ve been living separate lives for about two months after she ended it. Paul is apparently ‘heartbroken.’”
The source added that PK has been living in a hotel in Beverly Hills and was recently photographed leaving the property.
As this report made its way around social media, the RHOBH couple swiftly released a statement denying the claims.
According to Dorit and PK, they “remain committed” to each other amid “challenging years” in their marriage.
The RHOBH couple told PEOPLE:
“We are focused on healing, making changes, and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage.
We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family. 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.
We would be grateful for everyone’s understanding. 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.
Love, Dorit, and PK.”
Dorit and PK’s marital issues are set to be touched upon throughout season 13 of RHOBH. In August, Dorit’s RHOBH co-star Erika Jayne revealed that she was unaware of PK and Dorit’s marriage struggles amid her BravoCon 2022 diss.
Last October at BravoCon, Erika was asked which Real Housewives marriage she thought would fail next. The Pretty Mess singer surprised everyone when she named her RHOBH co-stars Dorit and PK Kemsley.
Erika appeared on the August 28th episode of Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two T’s in a Pod podcast. During the interview, Erika admitted that she regretted her comment about Dorit and PK’s marriage at BravoCon because she didn’t know they were enduring marriage struggles when she made that joke.
“It bothers me very much. You know why? Because I didn’t know they were having problems,” Erika explained.“And Dorit also reveals some other things that happened to her post-home evasion that are pretty heavy. And I understand [that now]. Had I known that, I would’ve never f—king said it. It comes out that Kyle and Mauricio were struggling, Dorit and PK were [also] struggling in their marriages.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
