Dorit admitted on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in November 2023 that she and PK had hit a rough spot in their marriage.
They hope the distance will help them “maintain a harmonious environment” for their kids. doritkemsley/Instagram The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” stars have been open about their marital woes over the past year. doritkemsley/Instagram“It’s not like we’re heading to divorce court, but we were disconnected. PK and I, we really are very co-dependent and connected. So it’s the first time in the 13 years we’ve been together that we felt this disconnect,” she said.
“When we came into this season, it was really important for me to be open and honest and talk about it because it’s the reality.”
In fact, during the Season 13 finale of “RHOBH,” the mother of two questioned if they could get out of that funk.
“I love my husband, but I just hope, eventually, something can change because I have moments where I worry, ‘Will we be able to stay together?’” she asked in a confessional.
Dorit revealed on the “RHOBH” Season 13 finale that she wasn’t sure the pair would be able to work out their issues. doritkemsley/Instagram The former couple started dating in 2011 and wed four years later. doritkemsley/InstagramDorit felt like PK hadn’t been supportive of her battle with post-traumatic stress disorder — which stemmed from a 2021 armed home invasion.
“No matter how hard I try, it feels like he’s never gonna take me seriously and be as present as I need him to be when I need him, and maybe he’ll never change, but do I have to accept that he won’t? Can I? I don’t know,” she wondered.
She also admitted that her husband’s drinking took a serious toll on their marriage but they were trying to work through things.
