Dorit Kemsley’s “baby girl” is making impressive moves and proud memories.
While navigating her family’s new normal, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom returned to Instagram this week to share an update on Phoenix Kemsley, the 9-year-old daughter she shares with her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley. Dorit posted several videos of the 2025 LA Ballet Expo at the Grand Academy of Ballet, where Phoenix competed in the Classic Junior Division for age 10.
Dorit Kemsley is "so proud" of Phoenix Kemsley's ballet achievement
The April 19 carousel began with a video of Phoenix’s classical performance and concluded with the awards presentation. So, how did the Beverly Hills daughter fare? She walked away with the gold.
“Gliding into the weekend like Phoenix at her ballet competition today,” Dorit captioned the Instagram. “Congratulations, my beautiful girl — 1st place. Grand Champion in the 10-year-old division (a full year up!). Your grace, dedication, and joy lit up the stage, and my heart couldn’t be fuller. So proud of you! I love you endlessly.”
The post received more than 32,000 “likes” and hundreds of comments, one of which came from Dorit’s castmate Erika Jayne.
“YES !!! Beautiful lines!!!” wrote the "Pretty Mess" artist, who has been a trained dancer since childhood.
Dorit posted a longer video of Phoenix's performance on April 20.
"Didn’t realize yesterday’s video cut off the best part—Phoenix’s Graduation Ball variation that won her grand champion," she captioned the Instagram. "And that walk-off? Grace, drama, and pure presence. She’s next level. She truly loves performing—it’s wild to see that kind of confidence on stage at such a young age!"
PK Kemsley makes a prediction about his son, Jagger Kemsley
Hours after the expo, PK provided an update on his and Dorit’s son, Jagger Kemsley. The Beverly Hills dad shared a photo of his father-son poker night and applauded the 10-year-old’s card skills
“I’m calling this kid world poker champion before he’s 18,” he captioned the Story, which showed the boy rocking dark sunglasses while concealing his face with a hand towel. “Not sure who he is but he says his name is Jagger.”
Dorit & PK Kemsley announce their separation after nine years of marriage
Dorit and PK shared the proud moments nearly a year after confirming their marital split. The couple dropped the news in a joint Instagram statement, saying their main focus was their children.
“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,” they wrote just weeks after celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary. “To safeguard 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.”
Does Dorit Kemsley want to reconcile with her estranged husband?
Dorit opened up about her split on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, admitting she and PK haven’t worked toward a reconciliation, and she doubts they ever will.
“I don’t feel like I’ve reached a place where I know PK is not in my future,” she said. “At the same time, if he turned around to me tomorrow and said, ‘Dorit, I made a terrible mistake. I want to come back home. Let’s have a go at this, we belong together, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.’ I don’t think I could accept that. I’m gonna go a step further. I know I couldn’t.”
As of April 2025, Dorit and PK had yet to file for divorce. Find out what the former had to say about a potential legal separation.
