PK Kemsley spotted ‘all over' ANOTHER Real Housewife at London bar after divorce from Dorit
RHOBH's PK Kemsley was spotted with another Real Housewife after his split from Dorit, and was "all over her" at a London bar. PK, 56, was caught getting close to a Real Housewives of London star during a night out in his native city on Wednesday, June 4. 7 7 An onlooker told The U.S. Sun, PK was "very flirty" with Amanda Cronin, 56, at celebrity hotspot The George in Mayfair. The pair were seen enjoying each other's company alongside Kyle Richards' estranged husband Mauricio Umansky. The source said: 'Amanda and PK were at The George together last night and it looked like a blossoming romance. "He was all over her like an excited puppy dog. "It was very flirty and they weren't scared of hiding it. "PK was absolutely loving the attention and didn't leave Amanda's side all night." Amanda, a luxury skincare entrepreneur and socialite, even shared a snap on Instagram from outside the exclusive members' bar. A second source said her RHOL co-stars are already buzzing about the liaison, with cameras currently rolling on the show's debut season. The insider added: "Her friends from the show are all calling each other." RHOBH star Dorit Kemsley's husband PK slammed for 'horrible' treatment of guest as couple 'heads for split' Amanda is the co-founder of Amanda Caroline Skincare, which sells serums and creams to fight the visible signs of aging. She currently has over 82,000 followers on Instagram - which is sure to skyrocket when RHOL drops later this year. The influencer lives in a £12 million Mayfair home. Her famous exes include George Michael's Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley and energy mogul Mark Daeche, whom she landed a multi-million pound settlement from in 2019. It's hoped she will divulge details of their whirlwind romance when the show drops later this year. When contacted for comment, PK told The U.S. Sun: "There's no romance. Amanda and I are just friends." Amanda did not respond to a request for comment. DIFFICULT DIVORCE PK and Dorit announced their separation in May last year, nine years after getting married in 2015. She officially fired for divorce in April. Boy George's manager has since hired Britney Spears' former divorce lawyer to deal with his split, as exclusively revealed by The U.S. Sun. Court filings show she asked for sole legal and physical custody of her two children with her ex, along with spousal support. PK has hired attorney Marci Levine, a partner with Summers Levine, LLP, who previously represented Spears during her divorce from ex, Kevin Federline. Levine has been practicing law since 1990, including complex financial and custody matters. In PK's legal response, he is seeking joint custody of their two children. He also waived his right to spousal support and has asked the court to terminate Dorit's own request. Dorit admitted on the show she was bracing herself for a difficult divorce and filed a day after PK was pictured kissing reality star Shana Wall. Shana, 50, completed on CBS's The Amazing Race in 2007. They have not been seen together since. 7 7 7 7 7
