Dorit Kemsley has revealed how she and Kyle Richards have leaned on each other during difficult times in their marriages.
In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared how they’ve supported each other throughout the rough periods in their respective relationships.
This comes after the 47-year-old fashion designer shut down rumours that she had separated from her husband Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley.
“As far as Kyle and I going through issues in our marriage at the same time, which is rather bizarre, we have been very supportive to one another,” she told the publication.
The reality star shared how the two stars regularly “see one another” and “go out for dinner.”
“She’s a very supportive friend and I’m a very supportive friend. She lives close to me, so it’s been nice to have her,” Dorit explained.
Though the circumstances are “not nice,” the Bravo star admitted that it’s been nice to have a “friend that can understand and that you can lean on and talk to. That’s been really nice.”

Dorit recently shut down rumours speculating a separation between her and PK, as the pair released a joint statement to PEOPLE denying the rumours.
“We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family,” the Kemsleys said.
“We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage.”
“We would be grateful for everyone’s understanding,” they continued. “We are doing what we can to focus on the best interests of our family, as opposed to spending our time contending with rumours and hearsay that are not true.”
The fashion designer’s co-star Kyle and her husband Mauricio Umansky have also seen a rough patch in their marriage.
In July, it was reported that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars were getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage.
However, they later revealed they were just separated after having a “rough year”.
During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kyle confirmed that she initiated the seperation.
The RHOBH star also explained that she and Mauricio are still living under the same roof, but in separate bedrooms.
“I let him stay in the primary bedroom ‘cause it’s very masculine and the upstairs floor’s like the glam and there’s like, a bed,” she explained.
“And I was like, ‘What am I going to do? Put him in a room with flower and pink and velvet? No.”
In a statement shared via social media back in July, Kyle and Mauricio denied claims they were getting a divorce, but admitted they were having a “rough year”.
They wrote: “In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
“Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
Kyle later admitted dealing with their marriage struggles in the public eye had been tough, telling fans: “You know this has been very hard to do [because] it’s playing out with so many people having eyes on us and [with us] being in the public eye.”
