The RHOBH mom shared more details about her son's recent health problems: "Just when we thought it was all over..."
Dorit Kemsley is feeling “grateful” and “proud.”
Taking to Instagram this week, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom opened up about the “difficult” month she and her family have endured. Dorit, of course, was referring to her son Jagger Kemsley’s medical issues that landed him in the hospital for multiple weeks.
The Beverly Hills ’Wife — who shares the 10-year-old boy with her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley — said her son experienced a “little setback” just days after he was discharged from the hospital. Although she didn't provide details on the issue, Dorit confirmed Jagger managed to recover just in time for the family’s Halloween celebration.
Dorit & PK spend Halloween together after their son's hospitalization
“Jagger had 2 surgeries in under a week for septic hip, had to stay in the hospital nearly 2 weeks, and just when we thought it was all over, we had a set back this week,” Dorit wrote in a November 1 post. “Luckily, this incredibly brave, courageous little boy is a fighter (like Rocky, as he would say and we were able to enjoy Halloween like he desperately wanted to. That made this Halloween extra special for all of us.”
The Halloween Reel featured several photos of the Kemsleys dressed as characters from The Flintstones. Dorit went as the matriarch, Wilma; PK as the dad, Fred; Jagger as Bamm-Bamm; and 8-year-old daughter Phoenix as Pebbles. The family was all smiles as they posed against a cartoon backdrop featuring the Flintstone’s recognizable home.
Dorit praises Jagger's "strength" during his health issues
"Grateful to [Cedars-Sinai Medical Center],” Dorit continued. “All of the doctors and nurses involved and for all the love and support we’ve received from so many. I’m in awe and so proud of our little munchkin, his strength, positive mindset and can do attitude he’s maintained through everything he’s been through. Feeling blessed and hopeful that better days lay ahead. Yabadaba dooo from the Flintstones!”
PK confirmed Jagger’s hospitalization in mid-October, roughly seven months after he and Dorit announced their separation. The Beverly Hills couple, who tied the knot in 2015, confirmed they had been experiencing marital issues “over the last few years” and decided to “take some time apart and reevaluate [their] relationship.”
What's next for Dorit?
RHOBH Season 14 promises to shed more light on Dorit’s relationship drama, including her friendship rift with Kyle Richards.
“This is a season of transformation for the ladies of Beverly Hills,” a press release read. “Kyle and Dorit not only find themselves navigating their fractured friendship but also dealing with fallout from their respective marriages. As the ladies bond over fun-filled escapades to Oceanside, California; Augusta, Georgia; and St. Lucia, they promise to find a way to work together through any challenges that come. But as the women balance the pressures of family life and the ups and downs of their businesses, friendships are put to the test.”
RHOBH Season 14 will premiere November 19 on Bravo.
