In a dramatic turn of events, Paul "PK" Kemsley, the estranged husband of Dorit Kemsley from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," was seen passionately kissing reality star Shana Wall outside Cipriani’s restaurant in Beverly Hills on April 24, 2025. This public display of affection comes almost a year after PK and Dorit announced their separation in May 2024 after nine years of marriage.
The photos, which quickly circulated on social media, show the 57-year-old PK and 50-year-old Wall engaging in a steamy makeout session, raising eyebrows among fans and followers of the reality show. Wall, who is familiar to reality TV audiences as a former contestant on CBS’s "The Amazing Race," shares a striking resemblance to Dorit, leading many to speculate about PK's type. One fan quipped, "So he’s going for a Dorit 2.0?" while another wondered if PK was "gaslighting Dorit with a lookalike?"
In response to the photos, Dorit filed for divorce just hours later, asking for sole legal and physical custody of their two children, Jagger, 11, and Phoenix, 9, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles County. This swift action underscores the tumultuous nature of their separation, which has been fraught with public scrutiny and personal challenges.
Shana Wall, who was previously linked to TV host Ryan Seacrest, has her own reality TV background, having competed on "The Amazing Race" in 2008. She was known for her competitive spirit, being the first contestant to use a U-Turn in the show's history. Beyond her reality TV fame, Wall has appeared in various TV shows, including "Married…With Children" and "Entourage," and even made headlines in 2024 for suing United Airlines after claiming she swallowed plastic shards from a drink on a flight.
Dorit Kemsley has been vocal about her feelings regarding PK's dating life during their separation. In December 2024, she expressed her discomfort with the idea of PK dating someone else, stating, "I’m sure it wouldn’t feel very good." During the recent "RHOBH" reunion taping, she admitted that she still loved PK, describing him as her "soul, blood, and heart." However, she also expressed the difficulty of their situation, stating, "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 hard."
Despite her lingering affection, Dorit has indicated that she is moving on, revealing that she has chosen not to maintain a relationship with PK. "The way you’re making me feel in this moment, I don’t think I can have a relationship with you, even a friendship," she said during the reunion. This sentiment reflects the emotional toll their separation has taken on both parties.
In a joint statement issued when they announced their separation, the couple emphasized their commitment to their children and their friendship, stating, "We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together." However, their relationship has been marred by accusations, with Dorit alleging that PK struggles with alcoholism and is not the most attentive father.
On the other hand, PK has publicly criticized Dorit, lamenting that the woman he married has changed significantly. "The Dorit I married would never have allowed this, much less caused it. That woman embodied kindness, integrity, and grace. I can only hope this version of Dorit finds her way back to the person she once was," he stated in a public comment.
As the couple navigates their separation, the public's interest in their relationship continues to grow, especially with PK's new romance. Observers are left wondering how this new development will impact the future of their family and whether Dorit will respond to the photos of PK and Shana. While the couple has yet to officially file for divorce, the emotional stakes are high, and the public is keenly watching how this story unfolds.
The reality TV landscape is no stranger to drama, and the saga of PK and Dorit Kemsley is just one of many stories that keep viewers engaged. As fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" await further updates, the complexities of love, separation, and family dynamics remain at the forefront of this unfolding narrative.
