Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade are keeping fans engaged with their latest interactions. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Kyle, 55, recently left a playful comment on Wade's newest Instagram video. In the black-and-white clip, Wade, 29, can be seen wearing a sleeveless flannel, bootcut jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat.
Richards jokingly commented, "Save a horse, ride a cowgirl," in the comments, prompting Wade to respond with cry-laughing and skull emojis. Wade also mentioned, "She stole my caption."
The playful banter between the two comes as rumors swirl about their relationship, with some speculating they have moved beyond friendship since meeting in February 2022. However, both the Bravo star and the “Fall in Love With Me” singer have denied any romantic involvement. Despite the denials, a source revealed to Us earlier this month that Richards deeply cares about Morgan and they share a strong connection.
Speculation about Richards and Wade’s relationship arose after it was confirmed in July 2023 that Richards and husband Mauricio Umansky decided to separate after being married for 27 years. The couple have three daughters together: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16. (Richards also has a daughter named Farrah, 35, from her previous marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.)
Richards and Umansky addressed the rumors in a joint statement on Instagram, stating, “Any reports about us getting a divorce are false. It's true that we've had a challenging year, the toughest in our marriage so far. Despite that, we have a deep love and respect for each other.”
The couple stated that there was no wrongdoing on anyone's part. They requested privacy to work through their issues despite being in the public eye. They urged against creating false stories for entertainment purposes. Kyle & Mauricio expressed gratitude for the love and support.
During season 13 of RHOBH, fans witnessed the strained relationship between Umansky, 53, and Richards, as well as Richards' friendship with Wade. While Richards mostly kept quiet about her relationship status, Umansky openly discussed his estranged wife's dynamic with the country star on his Netflix reality series, Buying Beverly Hills.
Umansky expressed doubts about the rumors circulating about Kyle and Morgan in episode eight, which aired on March 22. He shared that he personally does not believe there is any romantic involvement between them.
In a later episode, Umansky mentioned to a coworker that he had never directly asked Richards about her relationship with Wade.
Umansky believes that there is a strong connection between them and they spend a significant amount of time together. He mentioned that he hesitates to ask about their relationship because he doesn't want to add extra pressure on her.
He also mentioned that if their relationship is helping her cope with their separation, he supports it.
Richards and Umansky are currently in a good place despite their split, according to a source who spoke to We in February. Neither of them is ready to file for divorce, and they are content sharing space together.
