AceShowbiz - Dorit Kemsley is the latest Housewife who has been hit with rumors of marital issues. Not letting the reports spread like wildfire, the reality TV star and her husband PK have issued a statement to deny the claims that they have separated for a while now after he was spotted without his wedding ring.
In the statement issued to several outlets on Wednesday, October 26, the pair admitted they "have had some challenging years," which they "openly discuss in the upcoming season" of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".
Despite their problems, the spouses, who have been married for eight years, claimed, "We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family." They stressed, "We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage."
They went on to ask for support from viewers. "We would be grateful for everyone's understanding," the statement continued to read. "We are doing what we can to focus on the best interests of our family, as opposed to spending our time contending with rumors and hearsay that are not true."
Dorit and PK released the statement after PK was caught going ringless during one of his recent outings. In photos obtained by In Touch, his bare finger was visible as he lifted his left hand while stopping by gas station.
While it's unclear when the pictures were taken, a source told the site, "They've been living separate lives for about two months after she ended it." PK reportedly has been living at a hotel in Beverly Hills and was photographed leaving the property.
"Paul is apparently 'heartbroken,' " the source noted, before adding, "She's been telling people that she fell out of love with him but they agreed to keep it a secret for now so it doesn't affect the show."
Dorit and PK's marital issue was also brought up in the season 13 premiere of "RHOBH". During a retreat with her cast mates, Erika Jayne asked Dorit, "Dorit, is your marriage strong?" Dorit appeared to be taken aback by the question as it took her a while to answer, before she claimed that her marriage was "very strong."
In a confessional, Sutton Stracke dropped a shocking rumor about Dorit and PK. She said to the camera, "The only thing that I've ever heard about PK and Dorit was the night PK got pulled over for a DUI, he may have or may not have had a woman in the car with him."
PK got pulled over for suspicion of a DUI in November 2021, but no official charges were ever filed.
Dorit previously was rumored to have had an affair with Kyle Richards' now-estranged husband Mauricio Umansky. Responding to the speculation, she said on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" in September 2022, "Honey, listen. When something is so ridiculous, you just kind of discount it. It's something that sticks a chord only because Mau, PK, Kyle and I, we're friends together and it is such a nothing and to have someone start those vile rumors, it's gross."
