- Tatiana Kharchylava: creative executive based in London.
- Paul “PK” Kemsley: UK-born businessman living in Los Angeles.
- Introduction: via a mutual contact connected to Boy George.
The relationship is described as casual for now, in part because the couple lives on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Sources add PK travels frequently between L.A. and London, allowing the pair to spend time together despite the distance.
Public sightings and confirmation
On Tuesday night the duo dined together at Beverly Hills’ Mr. Chow, according to insiders. Page Six confirmed the pairing and credited TMZ for initially reporting the story.
Those with direct knowledge say the relationship “started as friends” and then evolved. Both are taking things slowly, the source emphasizes, and remain curious to see where it leads.
How this fits into PK and Dorit’s recent history
The new romance arrives amid a complex year for PK and Dorit Kemsley. Their separation became public in May 2024 after nine years of marriage. Since then, the breakup has produced public moments and private negotiations.
Notable moments since the split
- May 2024: The couple announces separation.
- April 2025: Dorit files for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
- Shortly after the filing: Photos surface of PK kissing reality star Shana Wall.
- Summer 2025: Reports surface that PK and Dorit reunited for a dinner in Sherman Oaks.
- Throughout: Dorit and PK publicly discuss struggles and progress, including PK’s sobriety.
At times the pair showed a willingness to explore reconciliation. In the summer of 2025, eyewitnesses reported a civil dinner outing, and Dorit publicly said she was not ruling out getting back together.
Divorce filings and family arrangements
When Dorit filed for divorce in April 2025, she listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason in court papers. She also sought sole legal and physical custody of their two children.
- Jagger — son, 12 years old.
- Phoenix — daughter, 10 years old.
The custody request marks a central point of the legal split as both parents navigate public scrutiny and private parenting decisions.
Allegations, sobriety and on-camera reflections
Dorit has described portions of the marriage as “very toxic,” and she previously alleged that PK struggled with alcohol. Sources say PK later sought sobriety and made changes in his life.
On the Season 14 premiere of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Dorit spoke candidly about the separation and noted the decision to step back was mutual after a difficult conversation. She emphasized there was no single catastrophic event or infidelity that led to the split.
Media coverage and what to watch next
Tabloid outlets were quick to follow the new pairing. Page Six confirmed the relationship status, while TMZ first ran the initial report of the couple’s involvement. Expect continued attention given the celebrity profiles and recent legal matters.
Key developments to watch include:
- Any public appearances together outside Los Angeles and London.
- Statements from either side about the relationship’s status.
- Updates to the divorce proceedings and custody arrangements.
For now, sources say the two are enjoying getting to know each other, without rushing into anything official.
