While talking about season 14, which began filming last month, the NYPD Blue star joked that it was going to be “really good.”
‘We are starting from the beginning. Right outside the door. “We are very funny,” the artist continued. ‘I’m not allowed to say much. I’ll get in trouble, but I think it’ll be very fun and fresh, really.’
When asked about her reaction to Dorit Kemsley’s separation from her husband, PK, after nine years of marriage, Beauvais said, “I think it’s sad any time a family breaks up.”
“I’ve been through it,” Garcelle added. ‘Especially when you have little kids, nobody wants that. I just hope that in the end everyone turns out well and puts the kids first.”

After the ceremony, the mother of three shared a photo with Stracke and Karen Kaufman Wilson, director of programming for Lifetime Original Movies.
Last month, Kemsley, 47, announced that she and Paul, 56, will be taking “some time” to “reevaluate” their relationship in a statement posted to her Instagram.
‘We, as a couple, have been the subject of a lot of speculation about our marriage. “We’ve had our struggles over the past few years and we continue to overcome them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children,” he explained.
Beauvais continued: “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children, we have made the difficult and mutual decision to take some time apart and re-evaluate our relationship while prioritizing our children.”
Dorit and PK have been married since 2015 and share two children: Jagger, 10, and Phoenix, eight. PK also shares children Daniel, Atlanta, and Tatum with his first wife, Loretta Gold.
Beauvais radiated elegance in a form-fitting red dress with a plunging neckline at the front of the bodice.

The duo had already responded to accusations of separation and celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary on Instagram in March.
Dorit uploaded a sweet post on Instagram with the caption: ‘happy anniversary baby.’ I love you.’
The English businessman posted a similar tribute on his own account, captioning it: “I’m here, I see you, I love you, happy 9th anniversary and thank you.”
The reality star opened up about her marital problems with PK over the past two years in part two of the RHOBH season 13 reunion.
During last season, Dorit opened up about how PK’s travels and her PTSD from the 2021 home invasion have negatively affected their marriage.
“After we wrapped (filming), things got progressively worse,” he shared. “And he and I were probably in the worst place ever.”
‘PK drank a lot and is a drinker. I just think it’s very difficult to have lucid conversations when he drinks so much, so he stopped drinking,” he revealed.
When asked about her reaction to Dorit Kemsley’s separation from her husband, PK, after nine years of marriage, Beauvais said, “I think it’s sad any time a family breaks up.”
Dorit added that she and PK are “better than ever” now that he’s given up alcohol. “That was a very pivotal moment, so things are (knock on wood) as good as they can be,” she continued.
Dorit said that at the time of filming, PK had been sober for “49 days.” She also shared that PK once stayed in a hotel, but denied that the two ever lived ‘separate lives’ as previously reported.
In January, PK called the “elements” of his wife Dorit’s PTSD from the home invasion “disgusting,” saying he had become “harder and meaner over the years.”
Dorit said that one of her favorite things about PK used to be “how he could let things go so easily,” but stated that “over the last few years, he’s definitely gotten tougher on me, a little mean at times.”
She said: ‘In a marriage, these are the moments that really test your relationship. “In this particular bad time where I need PK, and it’s not the other way around, it’s coming up way short.”
Last month, Kemsley, 47, announced that she and Paul, 56, will be taking “some time” to “reevaluate” their relationship in a statement posted to her Instagram.
In October 2023, Dorit and PK denied claims that their nine-year marriage was over after it was reported that they had been “living separate lives for about two months after she ended it” according to In contact.
The couple responded to the claims, saying that although they have had some “difficult years,” they “have not broken up.”
It was previously reported that PK has been living in a hotel in Beverly Hills and is said to be “heartbroken” over the split, according to a source who spoke to the publication.
“She’s been telling people she fell in love with him, but they’ve agreed to keep it a secret for now so it doesn’t affect the show,” the source added.
