“As a couple we have been the subject of much speculation regarding our marriage,” the estranged couple wrote on social media.

“We have had our struggles over the years and we will continue to work together as two people who love each other and share two wonderful children together.

“To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children, we have taken a mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while putting our children first.

“We appreciate your love and support as we continue to do the necessary work during this journey.”

Reality stars became all the rage in 2015.

They are the parents of a daughter named Phoenix and a son named Jagger.

News of the couple’s split comes nearly eight months after Dorit and PK denied there were any problems in their relationship, releasing a statement to People Magazine in October 2023 saying:

“We are committed to working through these issues as a united couple for the sake of our family. We have not separated and do not plan to do so.

“Rather, our focus is on healing, making changes, and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage.”

On the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — which was renewed by Bravo this week — Dorit got into trouble PTSD after home invasionAlso lacking was her husband’s clear understanding of what she was going through as a result of this trauma.

After confessing to the aforementioned “challenging years” in October, Kemsley was asked by host Andy Cohen what happened on the show’s reunion.

“After we wrap up [filming]”Things just kept getting worse and he and I were probably having a really bad time,” she told the producer, even adding that PK had stayed in a hotel for a while.

“We were struggling and we were working on things.”

Kemsley’s conclusion on this personal topic at the time was:

“PK was drinking a lot and he is an alcoholic. I just think it’s very difficult to have a clear conversation when he’s drinking so much, so he quit drinking.

“That was a very important moment, so things – knock on wood – are as good as they can be.”

Sadly, that’s no longer the case for Dorit and PK. We wish them both all the best moving forward.
