Dorit Kemsley posts gushing tribute to PK on 9th wedding anniversary… after revealing he quit drinking to get marriage back on track

Dorit Kemsley celebrated her 9th wedding anniversary with husband, Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley, by sharing a loving tribute to her main Instagram page on Thursday. 

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 47 – who revealed her marriage issues with PK got ‘progressively worse’ before he quit drinking – also included an assortment of sweet throwback images in the latest post. 

In the caption, the TV personality penned to her husband, 56: ‘happy anniversary baby i love you,’ followed by a white heart emoji. 

The mother-of-two shared snaps that were taken as the pair enjoyed a romantic dinner. The lovebirds cozied up together in one image as they posed for a selfie together. 

In two other photos, Dorit draped her arm over PK’s shoulders as he reached up to gently grab her hand. The reality star also laid a gentle kiss on his cheek while posing for photos at the table.  

In another picture, the couple were seen posing on a balcony with the ocean sprawled out in the distance behind them. 

Kemsley flaunted her toned frame in a satin green, bralette top as well as matching, high-waisted trousers. 

The businessman kept it casual in a pair of dark navy pants as well as a short-sleeved, black shirt as they paused for the snap. 

She uploaded an additional throwback selfie that was taken in the reflection of a mirror. Dorit sported a gray hoodie and fitted, black capri leggings. 

The star also held a black purse in her hand while her blonde locks were styled into a high ponytail. PK could be seen standing directly behind his wife as he rested his chin on top of her shoulder. 

A short clip was also included in the Instagram carousel, and showed the fashion designer giving a sweet kiss on her husband’s cheek as he looked towards the camera. 

A black and white photo showed the pair dancing during their nuptials which took place on March 7, 2015 at Rockefeller Center’s Rainbow Room in NYC. 

She donned a figure-hugging, dazzling reception gown and the lovebirds could be seen standing closely to each other while enjoying a dance in front of their guests. 

Another snap was a family photo of Dorit, her husband and their two children: son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, eight. 

They could be seen wearing matching pajamas while sitting in front of a fireplace in the image. 

Dorit shared another selfie as she cozied up next to PK as they sent gazes towards the camera. 

The businessman also took to his main Instagram page to celebrate their anniversary, and included similar throwback images on the post. 

He typed out in the caption, ‘I’m here, I see you, I love you happy 9th anniversary and thank you,’ followed by a red heart emoji. 

Dorit and PK first crossed paths in 2011 after meeting at a restaurant in NYC. Three years later, they welcomed their first child together and son, Jagger. 

In March 2015, the couple said ‘I do’ and welcomed their daughter, Phoenix, in February 2016. PK also shares children Daniel, Atlanta and Tatum with his first wife, Loretta Gold. 

Their anniversary celebration comes shortly after Dorit revealed that her marriage troubles with her husband got ‘progressively worse’ before he stopped drinking.

The reality star opened up about her marital woes with PK over the last two years on part two of the season 13 reunion of RHOBH, which aired earlier this week on Wednesday.

During this season Dorit discussed how PK’s traveling and her PTSD from her 2021 home invasion have negatively affected their marriage.

‘After we wrapped [filming], things got progressively worse,’ she shared. ‘And him and I were at probably an all-time bad.’

‘PK was drinking a lot and he’s a drinker. I just think that its very difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much, so he gave up drinking,’ she revealed.

Dorit added that she and PK are doing ‘better than ever’ now that he’s given up alcohol. ‘That was a very pivotal moment, so things are – knock on wood – as good as they can possibly be,’ she went on.

Dorit said that at the time of filming PK had been sober for ’49 days.’ She also shared that PK once stayed in a hotel, but denied that the two ever lived ‘separate lives’ as has been previously reported.

Last month PK branded ‘elements’ of wife Dorit’s PTSD from home invasion ‘obnoxious’ as she said he has become ‘more harsh and mean over the years.’

Dorit said one of her favorite things about PK used to be ‘how he could let go of things so easily’ but claimed ‘over the last few years, he’s definitely gotten more harsh with me, a little mean sometimes.’

She admitted she wanted her husband to ‘comfort’ her more if she was suffering ‘an episode.’

She said, ‘In a marriage, these are the times that truly test your relationship. This particular bad time where I need PK, and it’s not the other way around, he’s coming up really short.’

In October of 2023 Dorit and PK denied claims that their nine-year-marriage was over after it was reported that they have been ‘living separate lives for about two months after she ended it’ as per In Touch.

The couple responded to the claims and said that though they have had some ‘challenging years’ they ‘have not separated.’

Earlier it was reported that PK has been living at a hotel in Beverly Hills and is said to be ‘heartbroken’ about the split, according to a source who spoke with the publication.

‘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,’ the source added.

‘We have had some challenging years, which we openly discuss in the upcoming season of RHOBH,’ the pair’s statement to In Touch began.

‘We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family. 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.’

‘We would be grateful for everyone’s understanding. 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.’
