Donna Air’s temporary move to Los Angeles has brought an unexpected companion into the picture: Paul “PK” Kemsley.
The British actress and television personality, 47, was photographed leaving Chateau Marmont with Kemsley, 59, after the two reportedly dined together at the West Hollywood hotel. The Sun published Backgrid photographs showing them walking outside together before getting into the same car.
An onlooker told the outlet that Air and Kemsley appeared “really cosy” as they laughed and talked during the evening. Kemsley supplied the clearest description of the outing himself when a fan reportedly approached him and he responded, “I’m on a f***ing date, stop interrupting.”
The sighting comes only weeks after TMZ filmed Kemsley vacationing in Greece with Tatiana Kharchylava, whom the outlet described at the time as his girlfriend.
Kemsley Reportedly Called the Chateau Marmont Outing a ‘Date’
The Sun’s photographs show Air and Kemsley emerging from Chateau Marmont side by side after spending time together inside. They were later photographed entering the same waiting vehicle.
The outlet’s source described the pair as relaxed and affectionate in their manner, saying they laughed and joked together throughout the evening. The observer also claimed the pair appeared interested in keeping the outing relatively discreet.
He Was Vacationing With Tatiana Kharchylava in Greece in August
The Los Angeles photographs arrive shortly after Kemsley had been publicly linked to someone else. TMZ reported in April that Kemsley was dating London-based creative executive Tatiana Kharchylava after meeting her through his longtime friend and client Boy George during an art collaboration in London.
Sources told the outlet that Kemsley was traveling between Los Angeles and London as the relationship developed. By August, the two were spending time together in Greece.
TMZ obtained video of Kemsley and Kharchylava boarding a boat at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel in Athens on August 18 and described the couple as “going strong” during the getaway.

In September, she revealed that she had packed up her life in Britain and moved to America for what she described as the “gap year” she never had.
The move followed several major personal changes. Air said her daughter, Freya, had left home, her dog died and her father died following a battle with cancer.
“I decided to pack up all my stuff and go and have some new adventures and meet some new friends,” she told The Sun. She said she wanted new conversations and new energy after feeling that parts of her life had become stuck.
In a September 27 Instagram post captioned “LA Times, Part Two,” Air chronicled what she called another “action-packed week,” including dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel, a Robert Zemeckis event in Newport Beach, live music in Silver Lake, hot yoga and time around Beverly Hills.
Kemsley Is Still Going Through His Divorce From Dorit
Kemsley remains legally married to his estranged wife, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley. The couple announced their separation in May 2024 after nine years of marriage. Dorit filed for divorce on April 25, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences and initially seeking sole legal and physical custody of their children, Jagger and Phoenix.
Bravo reported in September that the divorce remained ongoing as the former couple continued navigating co-parenting and their changing relationship.
Kemsley has spoken publicly about rebuilding his life during the split. In an April appearance on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk, he reflected on the effect reality television had on his marriage and said protecting his children mattered more to him than publicly answering every point in the divorce.
Dorit has also addressed his dating life. During June interviews documented by Bravo, she acknowledged Kemsley’s then-new relationship and said she wanted him to be happy if both people involved were happy.
