Paul “PK” Kemsley celebrated being sober for six months amid his separation from Dorit Kemsley.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star’s husband shared a screenshot from a sobriety app that showed he had been sober for “0.50 years, 6.06 months, 185 days, 4,453 hours.”

“On Father’s Day the greatest gift I can give my 5 kids is to remain sober … grateful and proud to say this weekend I am 6 months … Happy Fathers Day to all you great dads out there doing your best,” he captioned the graphic via Instagram on Sunday.

Several Instagram users supported PK, 56, and congratulated him in the comment section. However, Dorit, 47, notably didn’t comment or post a Father’s Day tribute to her estranged husband, whom she shares two children with.

In addition to his two children with Dorit, PK is a dad to three adult children –– son Daniel and daughters Atlanta and Tatum –– from his first marriage to ex-wife Loretta Gold.

PK has not previously spoken about his sobriety, but his wife mentioned his drinking during the most recent “RHOBH” reunion while discussing some of their marital woes.

“PK was drinking a lot and he’s a drinker. I just think that it’s very difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much, so he gave up drinking,” she said during the episode aired in March.

At the time of filming the reunion earlier this spring, Dorit professed that he was “49 days” sober.

Dorit initially said that PK becoming sober was a “very pivotal moment” in their marriage and led to them “doing better than ever.”

However, the bliss seemed temporary, since they announced their separation via a joint statement in May.

“To safe guard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prior our children,” the statement read.

The former couple –– who wed in 2015 –– co-parent son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8.

Shortly after they confirmed their split, Dorit was seen filming the new season of “RHOBH” and wearing her wedding ring.

Dorit and PK’s relationship was previously a focal point of “RHOBH” when she admitted that he was struggling to understand her PTSD after she was robbed at gunpoint in her home.

“No matter how hard I try, it feels like he’s never gonna take me seriously and be as present as I need him to be when I need him, and maybe he’ll never change, but do I have to accept that he won’t? Can I? I don’t know,” she said during a Season 13 episode.
