Dorit Kemsley is still navigating what her split from Paul “PK” Kemsley looks like.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills diamond holder and the British talent manager announced their separation in May 2024 after just over nine years of marriage. Now, Dorit — who will be returning to RHOBH for its upcoming 14th season — is sharing an update on their relationship today.
While exiting a Beverly Hills store, Dorit told TMZ that she’s taking her separation “one day at a time.”
“We’re trying to focus on the kids,” she added, referencing the two children she shares with PK, Phoenix, and Jagger Kemsley.
The reporter then asked Dorit if she was considering reconciling with PK. “Oh, I don’t know. It’s not a question just for me, you know?” she responded. “One step at a time. One step at a time.”
She also confirmed that she will not be holding anything back when it comes to discussing her marriage with her castmates Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Kyle Richards, Sutton Stracke, and newbie Bozoma “Boz” Saint John on RHOBH Season 14.
“I’m not hiding anything,” Dorit concluded.

Why did Dorit and PK Kemsley split?
After denying rumors in October 2023 that they were separated and living under different roofs, Dorit and PK confirmed their split in a statement they posted on their respective Instagram feeds on May 9.
“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage,” the two wrote. “We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together.”
“To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children,” the statement continued. “We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey. With love, Dorit and PK.”
After announcing their split, PK confirmed that he had stopped drinking alcohol. He celebrated six months of sobriety on Father’s Day 2024.
In an Instagram post commemorating the milestone, PK shared that his five kids — Atlanta, Tatum, Daniel, Phoenix, and Jagger — inspired him to stick with his sobriety.
“On Father’s Day the greatest gift I can give my 5 kids is to remain sober… grateful and proud to say this weekend I am 6 months…” he wrote in the caption of his post. “Happy Father’s Day to all you great dads out there doing your best.”
