Dorit and PK's "Complicated" Love Story: "It Wasn't Love at First Sight"
Learn about the origins of their relationship before the couple appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
After spending much of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 opening up about her and Paul "PK" Kemsley's marriage, Dorit Kemsley is now reflecting on the happier parts of their relationship.
In fact, during a recent podcast appearance, Dorit went all the way back to the beginning
How Dorit and PK Got Together
Admittedly, Dorit and PK's romance "wasn't a love at first sight type of thing," she said on the March 13 episode of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast.
"When I met PK, it was a year since I had broken off my second engagement," Dorit continued. "I was not interested in really meeting men and so on. It wasn't like I was out there looking to date."

Regardless, Dorit found herself in PK's company because they had "mutual friends."
"When we finally went on our first date, we had the best time," she recalled. "And really from that night, we were inseparable ... I may not have known he was the one, but there was something distinctly different than with anyone else. It was like I'd known him my whole life."
Dorit and PK's relationship was affected by his previous marriage and children
Although Dorit "liked him immediately," PK was "going through a divorce [and] had three children" when they started dating.
Meanwhile, "I was a girl about town in New York City in Manhattan living my best life," Dorit said. "I had a successful business, so on and so forth."
Fast-forward three months, though, and "I knew I was in love," she revealed. "But it was complicated, because like I said, he was going through a divorce, he had three children. It was not an ideal situation."
That didn't stop Dorit and PK from taking the next step in their relationship, though. Six months into dating, they moved in together.
The rest, as they say, was history.
Dorit and PK's Marriage Today
In addition to having a difficult time in their marriage as seen on RHOBH Season 13, Dorit revealed at the reunion that "things got progressively worse" after filming wrapped. The couple's relationship was even "at an all time bad," but thankfully, the worst seems to be behind them today.
In fact, Dorit said she and PK are currently "better than ever."
"PK was drinking a lot — and he's a drinker — [but] I just think it's difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he's drinking so much. So, he gave up drinking," Dorit shared on the RHOBH Season 13 reunion. "He's actually been sober for, I think, 49 days. That was a very pivotal moment so things are, knock on wood, as good as they can possibly be."
