The relationship timeline of the couple
Dorit who is 47 years old and hails from Woodbridge, Connecticut, the USA, married Paul in 2015 in New York City. There is not much details shared about their pre-marriage courtship period, except that the two had met in 2011.
Paul is an English businessman, real estate dealer, and a reality TV actor. Formerly, he was the Vice-chairman of the Premier League Football Club, Tottenham Hotspur. Additionally, he is the former Chairman of New York Cosmos.
The couple is part of the show RHOBH since the year 2016. They have two children together: a son and a daughter. Son’s name is Jagger and he is 10 years of age while daughter, Phoenix is 8 years old now. The family resides in their 840 sq. m home in Encino in California which cost them USD 6.47 million.
In October 2021, three male burglars entered their home and robbed Dorit at gunpoint. At that time, she was alone with her kids. The children slept throughout the unfortunate incident when the intruders put a gun on Dorit’s head. An unknown sum of money and assets were stolen from her home. The intruders are still at large and remain uncaptured.
Paul’s past relationships and marital struggles
Paul, 56 had an earlier marriage to Loretta Gold who is from Portsmouth. The two have three children together: Atlanta, Tatum, and Daniel. The family of five used to reside in Radlett in Hertfordshire. But in 2007, the family relocated to the USA.
The marriage collapsed after nine years. Later, in 2012, Loretta returned to London with their children while Paul continued to stay in the USA.
Dorit and her friend and co-star, Kyle Richard had discussed on the show about their struggles in their respective life and marriages. The last season of RHOBH dealt majorly with Kyle’s separation from her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky. Host Andy Cohen and other show cast members asked Kyle about her married life and her split from her ex-husband, a real estate agent who also features in Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills.
Kyle was accused of not talking enough on the show on it. But she said that she did not get enough support from Dorit in front or behind the camera.
