LOS ANGELES—Dorit Kemsley, the sharp-tongued star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has pulled the plug on her marriage to Paul "PK" Kemsley, filing for divorce on April 25, 2025, after ten years of marriage. The news, confirmed through court documents obtained by major outlets, marks the end of a union that’s been under a microscope since the couple’s separation announcement last year.
The filing, lodged in Los Angeles County Superior Court, lays out Dorit’s demands: sole legal and physical custody of their two kids, Jagger, 10, and Phoenix, 8, plus spousal support. No fluff, just the hard lines of a marriage unraveling. The couple, who tied the knot in a glitzy New York ceremony in 2015, had been dodging breakup rumors for years, but cracks started showing publicly in May 2024 when they confirmed their separation in a joint statement. They’d called it a pause, not a full stop, vowing to “work through” issues for their family. But by April 2025, Dorit was done waiting.
Court papers don’t spill much tea on the why—just the usual legalese about “irreconcilable differences.” Still, the timing raises eyebrows. The divorce hit the same day photos surfaced of PK cozying up with another woman, though no official word links the two events. Dorit, 48, and PK, 57, have been open about their struggles on RHOBH, especially during its 14th season, which wrapped filming in February 2025. Dorit told the reunion crowd that PK had the kids on Saturday nights, a hint their lives were already splitting at the seams.
The Kemsleys’ marriage wasn’t just tabloid fodder; it was a plotline. From Dorit’s designer wardrobe to PK’s business ventures, their Beverly Hills life screamed excess. But behind the Birkin bags and champagne brunches, things were messier. PK’s financial ups and downs, including a reported $1.2 million gambling debt years back, strained things. Dorit stood by him, but the separation last year signaled she was drawing a line.
No official comment from Dorit or PK has dropped since the filing. Their reps are staying mum, and the RHOBH cameras aren’t rolling to catch the fallout. What’s clear: Dorit’s moving forward, legally and solo. The court will decide custody and cash, but for now, she’s closing a chapter that started with a vow and ended in a courthouse.
