Despite ongoing speculation, Dorit Kemsley remains steadfast in her commitment to her marriage with Paul "PK" Kemsley. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 47, emphasized that she and PK have already addressed the rumors in a statement, stressing that they are not separated and have no plans for divorce.
Earlier this month, reports emerged suggesting that Dorit and PK, both 56, were experiencing a period of separate lives after being married for eight years. However, they swiftly released a joint statement to dismiss these speculations. The current season of RHOBH has documented their relationship dynamics, notably as Dorit deals with ongoing PTSD following a distressing home invasion and robbery in October 2021.
Addressing the situation, Dorit stated on Saturday, "Throughout this season, we have been incredibly transparent and open about the challenges we have faced in recent years, which have undoubtedly been difficult. However, I have also personally experienced various hardships. So, that is where we currently stand. Nevertheless, I believe we are definitely in a good place."
Dorit emphasized that she and PK are committed to moving forward on a positive note. "We have high hopes," Dorit stated confidently. "And, you know, everything is going well. We are actively working on our marriage."
Having first encountered the real estate mogul in 2011, Dorit married PK four years later. Together, they have two children, Jagger (8) and Phoenix (7). (PK also has two older children from a previous relationship.)

According to sources in the latest issue of We, Dorit and PK have been undergoing "couples counseling" and have chosen to live separately as they focus on improving their marriage.
According to an insider, both individuals are in agreement that it is the appropriate course of action for PK to temporarily stay at a nearby hotel. It has been a difficult time for them, and their intention is to maintain a friendly relationship, regardless of whether they choose to remain together or not.
The unexpected news of the separation and marital issues took many of Dorit's co-stars on RHOBH by surprise.
Garcelle Beauvais expressed her belief that Dorit would be devastated if the rumor turned out to be true. She spoke about it on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Wednesday, November 1. Dorit had previously celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute to PK. In March, she took to Instagram to declare her love for him, saying, "Twelve years ago I decided to share my heart with @paul_kemsley_pk. Eight years ago today, I married my soulmate. We may not always have it all together, but together we have it all. I love you so much, baby. Happy Anniversary ️."
