An Instagram user under the handle @facereality16 had theorized about the budding relationship between Richards and Wade, pointing out that they had subtly acknowledged their romance by wearing matching silver bands.
Amid the speculation that Richards and Wade were wearing rings, a separate wave of suspicion surrounded Richards and Umansky last spring after she was spotted without her wedding ring on an outing.
That same user pointed out that Kyle didn’t like or comment on her husband’s birthday post this year, his Mother’s Day post, or his Valentine’s Day post.
Meanwhile, Richards has often been 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 with each other.
Kyle appeared to be Morgan’s guest at the Americana Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, last year. The duo paired 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 in January with some friends, which was documented on Wade’s Instagram.
Richards shared on her Instagram about the moment she met Morgan and revealed that they first met in February 2022.
“I stalked @morganwademusic on IG after listening to her music while driving solo from Utah to Colorado while making #housewivesofthenorthpole and today we met in person for the first time,” she wrote on Feb. 17.
“The most unlikely friendship some may think, but kinship knows no bounds,” 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 but still live under the same roof.”
“They remain friendly as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”
Richards and Umansky married in January 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 on the podcast in April Two T’s in a pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge said the couple “didn’t get a divorce.”
He insisted, “I mean, it’s so stupid. That one stupid story that came out there, and then all the girls, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and now it’s a storyline.”
Richards did not acknowledge the split on social media on Monday, when she posted a series of photos of herself with 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 is Kathy Hilton’s sister and Paris Hilton’s aunt. Richards and her family came to limelight in 2010 when she was a main 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 hit reality series.
