In new divorce court filings in Los Angeles, Paul “PK” Kemsley alleges that his estranged wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Dorit Kemsley, failed to renew their two children’s expired passports, preventing a planned summer trip to Europe. According to documents obtained on July 15, 2026, PK’s attorney alerted Dorit’s lawyer on July 7, 2026, that the children’s passports for Jagger and Phoenix had lapsed. The filing claims Dorit then left for an extended European vacation, while the children were sent to Florida to stay with her parents and a nanny, without PK’s involvement in travel or caregiving decisions.
