s it The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or the real estranged-couples-that-happened-to-all-be-best-friends of Beverly Hills? You could argue for either, actually.
When Dorit Kemsley joined RHOBH for Season 7 in 2016, she and her husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, quickly became close with Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, who has been cast on RHOBH since Season 1. And though both couples have since split, their connections live on in various ways.
Ahead, get all the info on Kyle, Mauricio, Dorit, and PK's relationship today — plus see photos of the foursome over the years.
What happened between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley?
Season 13 of RHOBH saw longtime friends Kyle and Dorit dealing with a much different dynamic than fans were used to. During that season's finale, it was revealed they hadn't spoken in months.
"I was hurt by some things she had said," Kyle explained during a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen appearance following the February 2024 episode. "We have some things to work out."
In June 2024, Kyle talked to Us Weekly about their standing and what caused it.
"The dynamics have shifted tremendously this year," she said, adding that neither woman really supported each other in their marriage separations. "Unfortunately, that's not where we're at right now in our relationship. We're both going through different but similar situations. So, it is unfortunate that we're in this position."
Are PK Kemsley and Mauricio Umansky still friends?
Yes, Mauricio and PK are still friends despite the drama between their wives. In February 2024, they were spotted grabbing dinner together at Cipriani in Beverly Hills, no Kyle and Dorit in sight. The same thing happened in October 2023. In November 2024, the men even took a trip to Miami together (where they even got together to party with some Summer House guys).
"Mau and PK Miami tour," Mauricio wrote in an Instagram story capturing the trip.
PK also opened up about their friendship in an interview with Us Weekly in March 2025.
"We were [friends] anyway, it wasn't about the fact that we're both separated," he told the outlet about their friendship. "We were close anyway, the fact that we're going through this together is obviously helpful for us. You know, we can share, because not everybody understands it, and it's a little bit difficult when it's played out so publicly."
In the past, PK called Mauricio his "brother."
"PK really makes Mau laugh and vice versa," Kyle explained during an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show in 2021. "They just have this sort of bromance now that people like watching, and PK loves to put on his Instagram."

"Mau and PK are good friends. They spend a lot of time together. They’re very close," she told Deadline in November 2024. "So it’s not unusual that they would be meeting for lunch or dinner. I think they meet every week when they’re both in town."
Where do Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley stand today?
Kyle and Dorit's current standing is a bit more precarious than their estranged husbands' — but their relationship might be headed in a different direction than we think. Throughout 2024 they met up various times, first for a birthday dinner and then for Sutton Stracke's fashion show celebrating her Sutton Brands Green Label Capsule Collection.
"We're way better than [the Season 14 trailer], I will say that," Kyle teased during an Amazon Live stream in November 2024. "We'll leave it at that for now."
However, new information may have caused Kyle to start rethinking their standing.
"We came into this not in a good place and it just got worse...," she told Extra a few days later. "Even though we worked through a lot of it, when I see the [trailer] an the things she said, [then] we're back to square one."

As mentioned, a major point of contention during Season 13 of RHOBH was the fact that Dorit and Kyle's relationship wasn't in the same place it once had been.
"Kyle and I used to go away once or twice, even more, a year. Now, I'm not invited on any of Kyle's trips," Dorit shared during Episode 9 of Season 13.
However, Kyle shared that that wasn't entirely true. While the foursome had gone away together, it didn't happen that often.
"This is not to be shady ... [but] we've only gone on one trip together as a couple that I can recall, Mau, PK, Dorit, and me," the former child star said in a January 2024 Amazon livestream. "We did do Vegas together, that's true, and then we've been in London at the same time, but that was just flat-out an exaggeration."
