Best known for starring in Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley is a television personality and businesswoman. Since boarding dramatic reality show, consisting of like-minded haughty housewives, in 2016, Kemsley has been a key cast member, and by key, we meant always the one to fuel drama, and feuds.
Born on July 14, 1976, in Woodbridge, Connecticut, Dorit was a globe trotter for a long time. Years of working as a designer for a global swimwear company paved the way for Dorit's later ventures in life. She founded swimwear lines named Dorit International, and later, Beverly Beach by Dorit. Aside from her successful career, Kemsley also boasts one of the most successful marriages in RHBH.

Kemsley is happily married to real estate developer Paul "PK" Kemsley. Since putting up their personal life for people's entertainment in 2016, Dorit and Paul have encountered several bumps, which only goes to show that no marriage is without its share of struggles.

"I'd like to stay married to PK for the rest of my life," Dorit said. The television personality met her husband crossed paths at a restaurant in 2011 and instantly struck a spark. Dorit thinks she and Paul were meant-to-be as they fell in love hard and were inseparable after their first meet-cute.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star welcomed a son, Jagger, with Paul in February 2014, and over a year later in March 2015, Dorit, who up until then was a Lemel, adopted her Paul's surname after they exchanged their vows at Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room in New York City.
Dorit became a fellow housewife in December 2016, opening the doors to marriage of incessant media scrutiny. "As far as the negative attention, Oh, who cares? We are who we are," PK said at the time. The couple was blessed with their second born, daughter Phoenix, in February 2016.
The Beverly Beach swimwear founder and PK have been at forefront of shocking headlines on more than one occasion. In 2019, the Kemsley couple faced a legal financial, and legal woe. In 2021, the family underwent a traumatic ordeal after Dorit was robbed at gunpoint in their California home.
"PK and I are super tight," Dorit explained amid the speculation of their bumpy marriage. The mother of two further added, "Our life is a pretty fabulous bubble, you know, with our two beautiful kids and I've got a great husband and it's easy to stay strong."
Is Dorit Kemsley's Marriage on the Rocks?
Bravo's RHOBH has strained and ended many marriages and it wouldn't be much of a shock if Dorit and Paul were to announce their split tomorrow. It's too early to say if it's the reality show unleashing the unfortunate curse on the Kemsley couple, or if it's just another hiccup for the duo, but the spouses are reportedly facing a tough time.

The talks of their alleged strained relationship have been going on for months, and a few sources have also claimed that the couple has been living separately.
The swirling rumors were let out after RHOBH's Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, who are also good friends of Dorit, appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and a caller enquired them about Dorit and PK's alleged separation.
The swimwear designer and her husband recently expressed their shock over the wild speculation and assured fans their marriage was still intact. "We have not separated nor are we planning to do so," Dorit said while admitting to some challenging years in her marriage.
Dorit and PK's joint reassuring statement further read, "We are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage. We would be grateful for everyone's understanding."
