Dorit Kemsley Shares Rare Childhood Photos and Sibling Bond
Dorit Kemsley, star of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, recently offered fans a glimpse into her childhood and the close bond she shares with her siblings. In a series of Instagram posts, Kemsley shared throwback photos of herself with her brother David and sister Debbie, highlighting their enduring connection.
Born in Connecticut, Kemsley grew up in an international household. Her father is from Israel, and her mother hails from Tangier, Morocco. This multicultural upbringing influenced her life, leading her to travel extensively and work in Italy‘s fashion and swimwear industries before settling in Beverly Hills.
In June 2020, Kemsley posted a heartfelt photo of herself with her siblings as children, captioning it, “The only thing in this world that will always stay the same, when everything else has changed, is the bond we share.” She followed up with additional photos, including one of her and David roller skating and another of the trio sitting in the grass, which she dubbed “The three musketeers.”
Kemsley also reflected on the similarities between her childhood relationship with David and her own children, Jagger and Phoenix. “My brother and I are 2 years 14 days apart, same like Jagger and Phoenix,” she wrote. “My parents tell me they see SO many similarities between my brother and I and Jagger and Phoenix. I love that.”
In addition to her family photos, Kemsley shared a snapshot of herself in Italy from 1995, showcasing her early days in the fashion industry. The photo, posted in 2024, featured her with light brown curly hair, trendy sunglasses, and a chic black tank top.
Kemsley’s unique accent has often been a topic of discussion among fans. In a 2017 interview with *The Daily Dish*, she explained its origins. “I think the way I speak is probably a combination of many things,” she said. “I am married to a Brit who’s got a very, very strong London accent, and I’m sure some of his inflections have sort of rolled over me.” She also attributed her speech patterns to her international upbringing and time spent in Europe.
Kemsley’s posts provide a rare look into her life before fame, showcasing her close-knit family and the experiences that shaped her into the reality star fans know today.
