Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley are no strangers to rumors, as they are currently fending off accusations left and right this season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. From whispers of a divorce, to Garcelle Beauvais’ shade over Dorit’s claims of theft, people are talking. As the Kemsleys owe a lot of money to Uncle Sam, we can understand, and even appreciate, Garcelle’s observations of Dorit’s still-seen jewels. I mean, someone has to address the plot holes for us viewers at home, right?!
Speaking of theft, one of Dorit’s storylines right now is her PTSD, which began after their most recent home invasion. On-air, Dorit explained that PK just wants her to move forward from this event. Um, easier said than done, PK. Unfortunately, Dorit’s still-felt struggles, alongside their other life stressors, has seen their marriage starting to decline.
However, this family doesn’t seem like it’s at its tipping point just yet. There’s a lot of love and support still in place. Therefore, we truly hope that these two will make it past their current struggles, for many reasons. Here’s why we think that Dorit and PK shouldn’t split up.
But they should pay their bills. Ok. I regress.
Dorit and PK Don’t Seem to Want a Split
On the RHOBH Season 13 premiere, Dorit confronted Erika Jayne over her antics at last year’s BravoCon. When questioned by an audience member on which Real Housewives couple would be the next to split, Erika said Dorit and PK. “What you said about PK and I was mean-spirited,” Dorit explained. Erika apologized, explaining that she was just putting on a show, which, cool cool, good friend, Pus.
After Erika’s performance last year, Dorit posted the comment, “Misery loves company.” PK also chimed in, hitting back at Erika’s shade. Clearly, this attack on their marriage was unfounded.
Their comments didn’t stop the rumor mills, though. In October, whispers of a divorce began to swirl. Therefore, Dorit and PK released a joint denial statement to People. “We have not separated nor are we planning to do so,” they said.
When November rolled around, Dorit once again shut down divorce rumors through E! News. “PK and I are committed to continuously working on our marriage. We have made it to the other side where we’re good and we both want to keep working on our marriage. I wouldn’t say that we are without our challenges, but I think that when you’re committed to working on things and making the changes necessary and listening to one another, that your relationship takes a turn for the better and that’s definitely the place that we’re in right now,” she stressed.
But wait, as there’s more. During the “Fashionistas” panel at this year’s BravoCon, Dorit further stated, “We’re both hopeful and we remain positive.” Time after time, Dorit and PK have shut down divorce rumors. These two aren’t throwing in the towel, so we think that an actual split at this point isn’t the answer.
Rough Seasons are Common in Marriage
After Dorit and Erika cleared the air, Dorit shared with Erika about how she and PK “had a really difficult year.” Dorit stressed how much she loved her husband, but in a year where she needed him the most, he was absent, due to his long stretches of work in the UK.
At BravoCon, Dorit also revealed she had sought advice from others about her marital challenges. “As I’ve spoken to people that are married or were married for a long time, everyone seems to say the same thing—this is marriage, and you have your ups and downs,” she explained. “PK and I really didn’t suffer any bad years in the 13 years we were together. I guess it’s our time, and we’re working through it,” she ended.
Being in an almost 20 year-long marriage myself, Dorit hit the nail on the head. Marriage for sure has its ups and downs, and if this is truly their first rough patch, they are fortunate. Knowing this, we think that it’s way too soon for this couple to call it quits. Instead, we hope to see Dorit and PK ride this out, coming out stronger on the other side.
They Seem to Really Love One Another
Dorit and PK dated for four years before marrying in March 2015. They now share two children together: son Jagger, 8, and daughter Phoenix, 7. Their love for each other and their children is obvious, both on-air and off. From sappy anniversary posts to sweet moments spent as a family of four, the love that this family has for each other is genuine.
“We may not always have it all together, but together we have it all,” Dorit wrote on the couple’s 12th anniversary. On his end, PK shared, “All love stories are great, ours is my favorite. Happy 8th Anniversary my love.” Sketchy split storylines and questionable narratives aside, there’s still a lot of love remaining between these two Bravo stars.
To conclude, we really think that Dorit and PK shouldn’t split, because never is any patch of grass, anywhere, EVER, any greener. They just need to take the time to water their expansive, lush lawn.
