"It was really the first time in the 13 years that we've been together that, for the first time, I felt more disconnected from him," Dorit continued. "Anytime that you're disconnected in a marriage, there is room for improvement."
And since then, the reality stars have put in the work. As for why she and PK—who share kids Jagger, 9, and Phoenix, 7—decided to publicly address speculation they were breaking up?
"We've had our struggles, but the recent rumors of us divorcing and separated, it was important that we put out a statement straight away," she explained, "because these types of stories, they have a way of running away with themselves. We just wanted to shut it down."
Fans will see Dorit get even more candid about her and PK's issues on season 13 of RHOBH.
"It was really important for me in this season to be very honest and vulnerable and open about it," she shared. "Being able to talk about it on the show, it almost helps. There's no point in trying to hide things."
