relation Relation of potential difference and charge in a capacitor

So, there is something regarding capacitors which is bothering me.It It is said that in capacitors connected in parallel, the charge is divided between different capacitors, while potential difference across them remains the same. But we also studied that V=kq/r,:

$$V = \frac{kq}{r},$$

which means v$V$ is proportional to q$q$. So if q$q$ across a capacitor changes, then why does potential difference remainsremain the same? And the same logic for capacitors is series.
