Lisa Vanderpump is not keeping up with Kyle Richards’ relationship status. When asked about Richards possibly needing to be more open about her relationship with Morgan Wade to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump shared her thoughts.

In an interview with Parade published on April 22, she expressed her feelings about knowing details of her relationship. She mentioned that she does not want to know who is involved in her personal life and she simply does not care. She believes that people should do what they need to do and keep it private.

In July 2023, Richards announced her separation from Mauricio Umansky after being married for 27 years. The couple, who have three daughters together - Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15, have not yet taken steps to file for divorce.

Fans have been curious about Richards' close friendship with Wade, 29, especially since they appeared together in the steamy music video for "Fall in Love With Me" in August 2023.

Despite both of them insisting that their relationship is purely platonic, Richards caused a stir when she was questioned by Andy Cohen about the possibility of her and the country singer becoming romantically involved.

"I'm not sure," she mentioned during the RHOBH reunion episode recently. "I feel like I'm growing, I'm transforming. It's evident that I'm going through some changes of my own and I'm uncertain about what lies ahead."

Before leaving RHOBH in 2019 to put more energy into her spinoff show Vanderpump Rules and other ventures, Vanderpump appeared in nine seasons alongside Richards. Initially close friends on the show, their friendship took a hit due to the controversial "Puppygate" storyline.

During a recent appearance on Today, Vanderpump revealed that things are still distant between her and Richards.

"I think that opportunity has passed," she mentioned to Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager in January. "Whenever I've seen her, it hasn't been great...I believe she understands my feelings. I've always been upfront about it."

Vanderpump also shared her disappointment about the deteriorating relationship between Richards and Umansky.

"I don't pay much attention to rumors, especially in the restaurant business," she said. "But I feel sorry for her. Kyle valued her marriage a lot, always showing it as perfect, whether it was or not. It's a shame. I hope they reconcile."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can be watched on Peacock. Bravo has not announced the cast for the next season, but Richards is likely to make a comeback with her diamond.
