Shortly after the announcement of their separation, Richards and Umansky issued a statement to clarify their present situation.

The news surprised numerous fans, as indicated by the initial source, revealing that Richards and Umansky have been experiencing difficulties for the past few years. These issues recently escalated and reached a critical point.

According to insiders close to Richards, it is believed that she might have had an emotional connection with country singer Morgan Wade. However, the source clarifies that the rumors of Richards and the 28-year-old Wade being in a romantic relationship are false.

Richards, on Friday, July 7, refuted any suggestion that she and the musician were anything more than close platonic companions. "We have a strong friendship," Richards assured photographers. In response to inquiries about the rumors circulating regarding her alleged affair with Wade, she firmly stated, "Yes."

Morgan Wade and Kyle Richards, pictured here at a public event, addressed rumors about their alleged romance. Richards dismissed the speculation of coordinating tattoos between her and Wade as a symbol of their relationship. In fact, she revealed that she also shares matching ink with former RHOBH costar Teddi Mellencamp.

The next day, Richards addressed yet another inaccurate report when Page Six featured pictures of her socializing with Wade. The publication claimed that the images were taken on Saturday, July 8. However, Richards swiftly responded by affirming that they were actually taken during a spring outing.

In response to the outlet's Instagram post on Sunday, July 9, Richards clarified, "This photo is from April when Morgan was visiting for my event with the National Alliance on Mental Illness for RHOBH. She wasn't even in California at the time. I am not trying to conceal my face. Kindly cease spreading false information."
