Dorit Kemsley of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' files for divorce from PK Kemsley
The 48-year-old " The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star filed for the marriage dissolution from her 57-year-old husband on Friday, citing "irreconcilable differences" in court documents. The couple share two children, 11-year-old son Jagger and 9-year-old daughter Phoenix.
The filing came one day after PK Kemsley was photographed on a romantic date with Shana Wall, a former contestant on season 12 of the "Amazing Race," E! News reported on Thursday.
"I'm hurt, I'm sad," Dorit Kemsley said during a season 14 reunion of "RHOBH" in early April. "I think I'm realizing more and more each day that what I really believed was going to be my future may not be, and I think that realization is really f***ing hard."
Dorit Kemsley spoke about PK Kemsley's sobriety journey on previous seasons, referring to him as an 'alcoholic,' but does not know any details of his sobriety now, she said. According to her, he does not want to discuss the topic with her anymore.
Although he was invited to appear on the season 14 reunion, he declined, saying "I don't believe engaging with Dorit in this forum would be constructive" in a statement.
"Dorit has made several mischaracterizations about me, but the one I must address is the claim that I am a bad father," he wrote. "That statement is both heartbreaking and false. It is deeply hurtful to me and more importantly, to our children."
During the reunion episode, Dorit Kemsley said her children now see their father on Saturday nights, "If he's in town."
Their separation was first announced in May 2024 in an Instagram post, which has since been deleted.
"To safe guard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children," Dorit Kemsley's post read.

Inside Love Is Blind's AD and Ollie relationship from altar rejections to Perfect Match
AD and Ollie have shared their unique love story with fans Love Is Blind UK season two is almost here, with brand new singletons taking part in a unique experiment to find love. Premiering on Netflix on August 13, Love Is Blind UK will once again see contestants going on 'dates', secluded in their own pods, without laying eyes on each other. Only when they are engaged will they take their relationship to the next step and meet face to face. After its success following the first season, this year promises to bring more drama and chaos. From professional singers to primary school teachers, a fresh bath of singles are all hoping to find the one, with one particular hopeful being guided by his "spleen". But as we gear up for the highly anticipated new season, we've taken a look at one particular success story, AD and Ollie. Fans may remember Amber Desiree "AD" Smith appeared on Love Is Blind US whereas Ollie Sutherland actually appeared on Love Is Blind UK in 2024. Altar rejection Ollie's Love Is Blind appearance was far from smooth sailing. Despite securing a connection with Demi and the pair meeting face to face, it was their wedding day where it all went downhill. Their journey showed Demi fighting with insecurities during their engagement and his apparent attraction to someone else. On their wedding day, Demi said no, much to the surprise of fans. Ad also saw heartbreak at the altar when she appeared on Love Is Blind USA season six, in what was arguably the most talked about season. Despite hitting it off with Clay, he too called things off at the very last minute. Huge announcement Fans were surprised during the Love Is Blind season eight reunion when AD appeared on the show and announced her engagement to Ollie. During the show, the pair not only revealed that they are now a couple, but that they also met on the new season of Perfect Match. According to Netflix's Tudum: "While filming a promo, Ollie shocks AD by getting down on one knee and proposing to her. Through her tears and excited screams, she accepts, marking the first time singles from different editions of the franchise have found love." Perfect Match Airing on Netflix, Perfect Match brings together the most famously single stars from other series like Love Is Blind and Too Hot To Handle in another attempt to find love. As they compete to form relationships, the most compatible couples will play matchmaker, breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with brand-new singles they'll invite to the villa. Season three launched on Netflix on August 1 and saw AD and Ollie explore their potential relationship. While fans are behind on the show, their real life relationship has since moved on. AD and Ollie now Not only are AD and Ollie engaged, but the two announced they were also expecting a baby earlier this year. In May, the stars took to Instagram to share the heart-warming news. AD wrote: "We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the amount of love we've been receiving from you all!! We couldn't be more excited for our little bundle of joy - Mom & Dad." And the comments came pouring in as one fan said: "I don't why I'm smiling and tears running on my face you're the best couple." Another added: "Watching perfect match just so I could watch y'all fall in love. I'm so happy for you AD Congrats on becoming a mama babe." Love Is Blind UK Season 2 premiers on Netflix on August 13.

Calvin Harris heartbroken as Scot DJ's pet 'murdered by idiot neighbour's dog'
Calvin Harris has shared his devastation following the death of his beloved pet Smokey as he fumed his neighbours' dog had 'murdered' him. Calvin Harris has been left "gutted" following the death of his beloved pet as he claimed they were "murdered" by his neighbours. The Dumfries DJ, who recently welcomed his first child, shared a photo of him holding his beloved cockerel Smokey as he shared the sad news. He paid tribute to the cockerel alongside a snap of him topless in his large garden, reports the Mirror. Calvin wrote: "RIP Smokey we love you. Raised this lad from chick to a majestic cockerel. "Murdered by the idiot neighbours grimey dog. Absolutely gutted." Last week, he shared the happy news the couple had welcomed a baby son on July 20. He shared sweet snaps from their home as they have been wrapped up in their love bubble. One Kiss hitmaker Calvin shared the very first picture of his newborn son and announced the beautifully unique name the couple have chose for their first-born child. Alongside an adorable photo of the couple's newborn baby cuddling into his dad's chest, Calvin wrote: "20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah." In the collection of photos Calvin shared announcing the birth of Micah, it was revealed that Vick had a water birth as she was seen in a blue birthing pool surrounded by candles. The Scottish DJ's Instagram post also featured a 'jump scare' as he posted a picture of Vick's placenta before going on to post more pictures of how the couple preserved it. This technique involves steaming, dehydrating, and grinding the placenta into capsules for consumption. Calvin and Vick chose to keep their pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible before finally announcing the happy news back in late May. Vick broke the news to her fans while finishing her last BBC Radio 1 show before heading on maternity. She said: "I should say that this is my final week. "I wanted to share that with you because we've had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I'm going on maternity leave next week." Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing piped in "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum." Vick then went on to share why she didn't formally announced she was expecting a baby. She explained: "This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I'm like, I'm not the King. I do not see the point, it's not for me. I'll be honest, I struggle with anything that's personal or private. "I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that's one thing. But there's a line and so I've never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I've just been enjoying this privately and quietly." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

ALTAR ★★★★ Underbelly, George Square (Venue 300) until 25 August From the particular shade of napkin to the hang of the organza drapes, everything has to be spot-on for Sutton's long-planned-for wedding to reformed school bad boy Ethan. That even extends to ensuring an invite for Sutton's old flame Dana - who in the intervening years has transformed into Dan. There's a danger that writer Em Tambree's heart-on-sleeve two-hander bites off more than it can realistically chew, tackling not only casual transphobia but also blind religious belief and scientific certainty. And there's a nagging question of how and why a neurotic bride would spend an hour away from the scene of the action. But suspend your disbelief, and Tambree navigates a persuasively smooth course through her panoply of issues, while also refusing to paint butter-wouldn't-melt Sutton or more progressive Dan as the show's particular goodie or baddie. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They're rounded characters, too, struggling with their evident deep love for each other while sometimes being appalled by one another's beliefs. Evie Korver fractures Sutton's stiff reserve with glimpses of emotion, while Eddie Pattison's Dan hints at a vein of vulnerability under their know-it-all assuredness. Director Kathryn Yate makes the most of the venue's intimate space, and ensures time and space for Tambree's observations to make their mark. It's a poignant, provocative, quietly heartbreaking gem of a show. David Kettle Lioness ★★★ Greenside @ Riddles Court (Venue 16) until 23 August Every woman who pulls on a strip to play football is a Lioness, according to this new solo play by its performer Kate Coulson, and not just the recent English Euro-winners who enjoy the official nickname. Her character Marnie Cole, a fictional goalkeeper for the real-life London City Lionesses, goes on to illustrate why that's the case, by playing out a sporting life which is as much about the off-field trials a male footballer will never experience as it is the pride, pressure and emotional onslaught of keeping things together on the pitch. Coulson is constantly moving on a stage layered with green astroturf, in front of a goal frame which appears specially constructed to fit precisely this compact space. The effect of this and the strip she wears is to place Marnie within the identity of a footballer 24/7, even when a scene change takes us off the pitch and into, for example, her relationship with her dismissive professional footballer boyfriend or her day job as a PE teacher at a private school. Marnie is played surly and businesslike by Coulson, but her pain at being dismissed or having to play on through an endometriosis flare-up feels convincing. There is no glory on the international stage for her, just the hard-fought satisfaction of staying in the game and competing. David Pollock I Was A German ★★★ Zoo Southside (Venue 82) until 24 August Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Like many people in the run-up to Brexit, Clare Fraenkel was looking for a way to apply for a European passport. She could, of course, because her grandfather was German, a Jewish journalist who escaped Berlin in 1933. But this knowledge sparked an internal crisis: how could she apply for German citizenship when her grandfather had had his citizenship revoked on account of his Jewishness? The focus of the play then shifts to her grandfather, Heinz Fraenkel, who counted the days of exile away from his native land, and later found himself interred as an enemy alien in the country where he had found asylum. He intended to return to Germany after the war, but, after numerous visits and extensive research, including an interview with a former SS man in a POW camp in Wales, he decided to renounce his country for good and wrote a book detailing his reasons. Clare works hard to find the drama in the story, playing herself, Heinz and a range of other characters, even performing an interlude of Weimar-style cabaret. But, ultimately, she has to tell more than show in order to communicate the complexities of this interesting but not especially theatrical story. Susan Mansfield An Ode to the Casting Director ★★★ Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose (Venue 24) until 25 August If you are an actor trying to get work, here's a possible way forward: make a play for the Fringe about an actor trying to get work. In the sub-genre of Fringe shows about the difficulties of the acting profession, Sophie Fisher's An Ode to the Casting Director is smarter and funnier than many. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Sophie never misses an audition, whether she's being asked to be 'orgasmic' while eating crisps, sliding down a rainbow for a kids' commercial or just giving a blood-curdling scream. She's relentlessly positive, holding on to the notion that she nailed the next step of her career, while encountering directors who think they're Marlon Brando and casting directors who never fail to sound bored. Fisher is a likeable performer who invites empathy without ever sounding sorry for herself, even when dumped by her boyfriend in the middle of a four-day wedding photoshoot. While her delivery rattles along a little too fast and too uniformly, she masters a range of tones, playing the ridiculous anecdotes for laughs while anchoring the more serious moments in authentic emotions. Susan Mansfield Sandbox: Saining ★★★ 42 Dundas (Venue 473) until 22 August At just 25 minutes in length, held in a basement studio on Edinburgh's Dundas Street, Sandbox: Saining promises a refreshing and thought-provoking departure from the busy city centre. Created by local film/makers Kerry Mullaney and Kris Bird, the piece considers themes of memory, consciousness and subjectivity through a fusion of the ancient Scottish Rite and a near-future world. The waiting room functions as a monument to the past, perhaps the infancy of time itself, as it teems with analogue paraphernalia like books and unblinking dolls. There is no computer technology to be seen, save the television on the wall (that we are soon guided to the other side of), showing a girl playing with her toys in woodland. There is snow on the ground, and as she animates her dolls, the saining (a Scots word for blessing) is invoked. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A contrasting and intimate cinema space offers a powerful audio-visual experience. Led by a faceless, synthetically intelligent narrator, images of trees in the wind, a girl in shallow water, a shadow in the half-light, and a shell on the sand, are made sinister over the deep, resonant soundtrack. The story itself may not be straightforward; however, the richness of the film experience is plenty. Jospehine Balfour-Oatts Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? ★★ ZOO Playground (Venue 186) until 24 August Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep? is notable for its inventive, brilliantly detailed animation reminiscent of Quentin Blake. There is little else to recommend this production, however, which is strangely upbeat given its angsty subject matter. The protagonist, played by the Woodlouse (aka John Butler), valiantly navigates the sudden emergence of zombies and the politics of the undead, all whilst ventriloquising a 2D puppet, playing the ukulele, singing, and leading the audience in a series of sing-alongs. It is an admirable endeavour; unfortunately, these theatrical elements refuse to come together in any coherent or satisfying way.
