Heavy/Bravo Dorit Kemsley explains what happened in her marriage.
Dorit Kemsley, who stars on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” responded to a fan who asked what happened in her marriage. The question came in the comments section of an Instagram post in which Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley announced their split.
“Wait i thought y’all were stronger than ever?” someone commented on the Kemsleys’ post.
“We were. [Expletive] happens. It’s called life – try it sometime. One day at a time,” Dorit Kemsley responded. Her comment comes after the duo denied split reports that surfaced in late 2023.
“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,” they told People magazine at the time.
The Kemsleys got married in 2015 and share two children together, Jagger and Phoenix.
