Kyle Richards Defends Kissing "Hot" Morgan Wade Amid Dating Rumors

Kyle Richards Addresses Her “Love” for Morgan Wade Amid Dating Rumors

Kyle Richards is getting candid about the love she shares with Morgan Wade. But, no, it’s not what you think.

Months after denying dating rumors, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was grilled about the true nature of her relationship with the country star on part three of the Bravo series’ season 13 reunion. So are they—or were they—ever actually a couple?

“No,” Kyle told host Andy Cohen during the March 13 episode. “I mean, I love her and she’s my friend and I love her.”

The Halloween Ends actress also defended poking fun at the dating speculation by playing Morgan’s love interest in her 2023 music video for “Fall in Love With Me.”

“I didn’t really know the creative behind it until I got there,” Kyle explained. “I said to the director, ‘I’ve never actually kissed anyone on camera, let alone a woman—or off camera.’ I was very nervous and anxious, but if I’m being honest with myself, I was obviously curious in order to say yes.”

“I said yes for a reason,” the 55-year-old added, “and, you know what? She’s hot. What can I say.”

Kyle also noted she shot Morgan’s video about a month before it was revealed that she and husband of 29 years Mauricio Umansky had separated. So, could Kyle see herself actually dating the singer down the line now that she’s single?

“I don’t know,” she admitted to Andy. “I’m evolving, I’m changing. I’m clearly going through some evolution of my own and I don’t know what the future holds.”

As for where Kyle and Mauricio stand today, they are still living under the same roof. But that could be changing very soon as they build their new lives apart.

When Andy asked if the estranged couple has talked about someone moving out, Kyle confirmed, “Yes, there has been now,” adding the real estate mogul would be the one to find a new bachelor pad.

But are the reality stars finally ready to file for divorce?

“It’s hard for us to say that word I think,” she noted with tears in her eyes, “but he’s looking or a place to move out and I haven’t really seen any progress. We get along well, but like friends.”
