Paul “PK” Kemsley is shutting down recent reports about his love life.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills dad made headlines this month after he was allegedly spotted with model-turned-entrepreneur, Amanda Cronin. Sources told the UK Sun that the pair was seen out together at The George in London, leading some to believe that PK had a new flame amid his divorce from Dorit Kemsley. However, the English-born businessman has since denied the romance rumors, calling them “false.”

“None of that happened,” he told Page Six. “I was with eight people, including Boy George and work colleagues. Amanda was at another table with her daughter and son-in-law-to-be. We are friends and nothing more… We weren’t flirting and there is no blossoming romance… Amanda and I are just friends.”
Boy George corroborated PK’s story, insisting there was no truth to the “flirty” exchange claims. “I was there and Amanda was with her kids,” the singer told the outlet. “This is an absolute fabrication. Total lies!”
It's unclear how PK and Amanda know each other or when they first met. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amanda will appear on Hayu's The Real Housewives of London.
Dorit Kemsley files for divorce from PK Kemsley
PK shut down the romance rumors more than a year after he and Dorit announced their split in a since-deleted statement. The news came on the heels of the ex-couple’s ninth wedding anniversary.
“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. 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 said, referencing their kids, 11-year-old son, Jagger Kemsley, and 9-year-old daughter, Phoenix Kemsley.
They continued: “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. We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.”
RHOBH Season 14 concluded back in April, weeks before Dorit filed for divorce.

The couple’s marital woes were explored in RHOBH Season 14, with Dorit making shocking claims about PK’s alcohol consumption and his role as a dad. She addressed the latter topic in Season 14, Episode 10, when she met up with her fellow Housewives at Kathy Hilton’s house. At one point during the dinner, Kathy said she belived PK to be “a very good father,” to which Dorit replied, “Wrong.”
The Beverly Beach founder walked back the comments on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, saying PK was, in fact, “a good" parent.
“Do I think PK is a bad father? No, not at all,” she said. “Do I think he’s a good father? Yes, I do. Truly. He’s not the most hands on father, but...there are many different ways to be a good father. I feel very lucky that my kids have PK as their father.”
