Real Housewives of New York City star, Jenna Lyons, believes that Kyle Richards could benefit from her expertise in matters of the heart. In a recent episode of the "Who What Wear" podcast on Wednesday, September 27, host Hilary Kerr posed a question to Lyons, aged 55, asking her which Housewife, from any franchise, she would be eager to style.
Lyons expressed her fondness for all individuals mentioned, singling out Kyle Richards as the person she particularly desired to collaborate with. She believed that Kyle might be joining her team and expressed her willingness to provide assistance if needed. Both she and Kerr shared a lighthearted laugh before Lyons acknowledged the possibility of her assumption being incorrect.
Lyons, openly identifying as a lesbian since 2011, seemed to be hinting at the strong connection between 54-year-old Richards and singer Morgan Wade. This bond has generated considerable speculation due to Richards' separation from her husband Mauricio Umansky.
Recently, Richards made an appearance in the music video for Wade's song "Fall In Love With Me," where the two came close to sharing a kiss. Despite their actions in the sultry shoot, both Wade and Richards have firmly denied any romantic involvement, asserting that they are simply close friends.
On August 4, the two individuals addressed the speculation through a joint Instagram video. Wade expressed, "Throughout my experience in creating music videos, it seems that whenever there is someone accompanying me in them, there is always an assumption that we are dating." He further added, "If you delve into the world of the internet, you will notice the immense fascination with us merely being friends. Consequently, we decided it would be amusing to playfully mock this obsession and humor the online trolls."

Richards playfully remarked, "I'm sure the internet will go crazy over this," while Wade added, "If people are going to gossip, we might as well give them something interesting to gossip about."
Richards and Wade have become close friends in the past few months, connecting over their mutual passion for music. They even had the opportunity to spend time together in Paris in September after attending Lollapalooza as a duo during the summer.
In July, it was reported that Richards and Umansky, 53, had decided to end their marriage after almost three decades together. Despite this, the couple, who have three daughters named Alexia, Sophia, and Portia, released a statement at the time clarifying that they had no plans to divorce.
Umansky recently caused confusion about his marital status during an episode of The Agency's "Red Mic" podcast, stating that he and Richards were "not separated." However, he quickly retracted his comments and clarified to TMZ on September 29th that they are indeed separated. Umansky emphasized that both he and Richards are going through a difficult time, acknowledging their emotions and feelings throughout this process.
"We're not discussing divorce; we are aiming to handle these matters internally, within our own circle, privately," he stated.
On the other hand, Lyons publicly revealed her relationship with photographer Cass Bird in June. During the podcast interview on Wednesday, she shared her personal experience of coming out, expressing, "I hope parents with gay children can witness the possibility of leading a beautiful, enjoyable, affectionate, and successful life, rather than viewing it as a burdensome condition. In reality, it can be quite fantastic."
