The pair admitted that they have “had some challenging years” and will “openly discuss” their issues in season 13 of RHOBHwhich started last week.
“We remain committed to resolving these issues as a united couple for our family,” the couple continued. “We haven’t split up and we don’t plan to. Instead, we are focused on healing, making changes, and doing the things that many couples need to do at some point in their marriage.
They concluded by asking for support from their fans. “We would be grateful for everyone’s understanding,” they wrote. “We are doing what we can to focus on the best interests of our family, rather than spending our time grappling with rumors and rumors that are not true.”
The couple’s relationship previously became a topic of conversation in October 2022 when Dorit’s costar Erika Jayne told a BravoCon audience that she thought the Kemsleys would be the next Bravo couple to break up.
Erika, 52, later claimed she was joking, but Dorit wasn’t happy with the comments during the season premiere of RHOBH. “Getting up, going to the center of the stage, delivering the line and then putting her hair up, coming back and feeling really good about herself — that’s not a showman,” Dorit told the camera in a confessional interview. “That’s a bitch!”
