We are left feeling perplexed by Kyle Richards' response to the rumors about the separation of Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley. On her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, which took place on October 25, the 54-year-old Richards was questioned about her awareness of the rumored split between Dorit, 47, and PK, 56, after being married for eight years.

"Have you seen it yet? It was released today? I wasn't aware of that. Were you aware?" she inquired of Andy Cohen, to which he replied, "I've heard a rumor about it."

The host proceeded to inquire if Richards had previously heard the speculation. "I had not been aware of that," Richards, presently separated from husband Mauricio Umansky, responded with a smile directed at the camera.

Richards' ambiguous reaction left Bravo fans wondering about the reality star's knowledge of Dorit's marriage. Many took to social media to express their thoughts, with one fan suggesting that Kyle may have known about Dorit and PK's situation. The fan wrote, "Kyle's body language says it all." Another observer pointed out that Richards' facial expressions may have betrayed her true feelings. "When a caller asked Kyle and Teddi about the latest rumors involving Dorit and PK, Andy asked Kyle if she had heard anything beforehand. Although she denied it verbally, her face seemed to tell a different story," the social media user shared via X.

Dorit and PK's marriage is expected to be a prominent focus in season 13 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The conflict arose when Dorit's co-star, Erika Jayne, openly questioned their relationship and predicted, during a taping of WWHL at BravoCon in 2022, that they would be the next Bravo couple to separate. In response to their criticism, Jayne, 52, defended herself in the comments section of the businessman's social media post, stating, "You shouldn't take it so seriously, you're aware that I was just joking."

In Wednesday's premiere, Dorit confronted Jayne about her "cruel" and "emotionally damaging" remarks.

"You responded to that question as if you were desperate for attention," Dorit remarked. In response, Erika stated, "I am an entertainer. I confidently approached the edge of the stage and provided the audience with what they desired."

In the lead-up to the episode's airing, In Touch released a report suggesting that Dorit and PK were leading separate lives, accompanied by pictures of him allegedly residing in a hotel. However, the couple quickly issued a statement acknowledging their commitment to working on their marriage amidst recent challenges.

Dorit and PK, parents to 8-year-old son Jagger and 7-year-old daughter Phoenix, conveyed to People on Wednesday, "We are dedicated to addressing these concerns together as a unified couple, primarily for the sake of our family. We want to clarify that we have not separated, nor do we have any intention of doing so. Our focus is on healing, implementing positive changes, and undertaking the necessary steps that are often required in any marriage."

The statement further added, "We appreciate everyone's understanding as we prioritize our family's well-being instead of engaging in addressing baseless rumors and gossip."
