Kyle Richards is rumored to be dating female country singer Morgan Wade, following news of her shocking split from husband Mauricio Umansky.

Earlier in the day it was revealed that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 53, separated from the real estate broker, 53, after 27-years of marriage and three children, as per People.

Amid reports of the separation fans have been speculating about Richards’ close relationship with Wade, 28, noting the duo have worn matching rings and even reportedly have ‘matching heart tattoos’ according to TMZ. 

The pair have a number of things in common, including their sobriety. Kyle revealed she was sober last summer, while Morgan gave up drinking six years ago. The duo reportedly started spending extra time together after the singer introduced Richards to her fitness trainer.

An Instagram user under the handle @facereality16 had a theory about the burgeoning relationship between Richards and Wade, pointing out that had been subtly acknowledging their romance by wearing matching silver bands.

Amid the speculation about Richards and Wade wearing rings, a separate wave of conjecture surrounded Richards and Umansky last spring after she was seen on an outing without her wedding ring. 

That same user pointed out that Kyle didn’t like or comment on her husband’s birthday post to her this year, his Mother’s Day post or his Valentine’s Day post. 

Meanwhile Richards has been frequently seen commenting on Morgan’s Instagram posts and interacting with the singer’s fans. 

The duo have also attended a number of different events together and have shared many Instagram snaps featuring each other. 

Kyle appeared to come as Morgan’s guest to the Americana Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee last year. The duo matched their outfits with Kyle looking stunning in a black leather mini dress and Morgan coordinating in a black leather jacket.

The pair also took a trip to Mexico with some friends in January, which was documented on Wade’s Instagram. 

Richards recounted the moment she met Morgan on her Instagram, revealing they first met in February of 2022.

‘I stalked @morganwademusic on IG after listening to her music while driving solo from Utah to Colorado while making #housewivesofthenorthpole & today we met up in person for the 1st time,’ she wrote on February 17th.

‘The most unlikely of friendships some may think but kinship knows no boundaries,’ she added with a pink heart emoji.

The dating speculation comes after an insider told People on Monday that Richards and Umansky ‘have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof.’

‘They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.’

Richards and Umansky wed in January of 1996 and share daughters Alexia, 27, and Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. 

Mauricio is also stepfather to Kyle’s daughter Farrah Aldjufrie, 34, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.

Umansky, appearing in April on the podcast Two T’s In a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge said the couple was ‘not getting divorced.’

He insisted, ‘I mean, it’s so dumb. That one stupid story that came out there, and then the girls all, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it’s a storyline.’

Richards did not acknowledge the split on social media Monday, as she put up a series of pictures of herself with her longtime friend Faye Resnick in a series of Instagram Stories posts to wish Resnick a happy 66th birthday.

Kyle’s fame preceded her spot on the Bravo series, as she’s Kathy Hilton’s sister and Paris Hilton’s aunt. Richards and her family stepped into the limelight in 2010 when she was a principle cast member of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The cast also included her sister Kim Richards, Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer, Taylor Armstrong and Lisa Vanderpump. A dozen seasons later, only Kyle remains on the popular reality series.
