Dorit KemsleyĀ andĀ Paul āPKā KemsleyĀ sparked rumors of aĀ potential reconciliationĀ after stepping out for a recent one-on-one dinner date in Los Angeles, but whatās really going on?
Following the estranged coupleās public meeting, an insider is speaking out about theĀ Real Housewives of Beverly HillsĀ stars and where they stand over a year afterĀ announcing their separation, and months after DoritāsĀ divorce filing.
Dorit, 49, and PK, 57, are āconnected in a really positive wayā through their ācommitment to raising their kids,ā an insider revealed toĀ PEOPLE.
AsĀ RHOBHĀ fans well know, Dorit and PK share two children, son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. And when Dorit filed for divorce in April after a decade of marriage, she requested full custody of both. Meanwhile, as she also requested spousal support,Ā PK requestedĀ that she be blocked from collecting, as he asked for joint custody of the kids.
While thingsĀ appeared to be contentiousĀ in the moments that followed Doritās divorce filing, especially as PK wasĀ seen with other women, they are reportedly on good terms today as they prioritize a healthy relationship with one another.Ā
āDorit and PK are still working through the legal side of their separation, but thereās a lot of genuine affection there,ā the source explained. āThey have a deep history and a shared commitment to raising their kids, and that keeps them connected in a really positive way.ā
āTheir recent dinner together wasnāt filmed forĀ The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsĀ ā it was completely off-camera, just the two of them catching up,ā the insider continued. āPK hasnāt filmed with Dorit at all this season.ā
Although PK wasĀ photographed making outĀ with modelĀ Shana Wall, 51, earlier this year, the source confirmed that neither he nor Dorit was āin a serious relationship right now.ā
PKās ābrief moment with Shana Wall earlier this year was just lighthearted and not the start of anything romantic,ā the insider shared.
In their joint statement last May, Dorit and PK admitted to years of āstrugglesā as they shared the news of their separation on Instagram.
āWe have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together,ā they wrote. āWe have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.ā
The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsĀ season 15Ā is currentlyĀ in production and expected to begin airing on Bravo later this year or early next year.
