Kyle Richards<\/strong><\/a> and Morgan Wade<\/strong><\/a> addressed ongoing dating rumors \u200bwhile announcing that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em><\/a> star will appear in the country singe<\/a>r\u2019s upcoming music video, \u201cFall in Love With Me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done several music videos and every time there\u2019s someone in it with me, they always assume we\u2019re dating or something\u2019s going on. If you get on the internet, you see people who are obsessed with us being friends and why we\u2019re friends,\u201d Morgan, 28, explained in a behind-the-scenes video posted via Instagram<\/a> on Friday, August 4. \u201cWe thought it would be kind of a good idea to poke fun of that and kind of troll the trolls a little bit. The internet\u2019s gonna be popping off about this one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell if they\u2019re gonna talk, you might as well give them something to talk about,\u201d Kyle, 54, \u200bchimed in.<\/p>\n The Bravolebrity shared how her friendship with Morgan began after she discovered her song \u201cWilder Days\u201d on the radio and she became an instant fan.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like \u2018Wow, this girl is really blowing me away with her voice and her lyrics,\u2019\u201d Kyle said.<\/p>\n The California native went on to reveal she then followed Morgan on Instagram, who DM\u2019d her shortly after asking what led to the online follow.<\/p>\n Morgan and Kyle clarified the nature of their relationship one month after they sparked relationship rumors. The speculation started \u200bnearly one year after Morgan and Kyle became friends, as fans were shocked to find the Real Housewives<\/em> legend close with a tattooed musician, who is almost 30 years younger than her. The women got matching tattoos in August 2022, convincing fans that they were more than friends.<\/p>\n On July 8, Kyle shut down the speculation that she and Morgan are romantically involved. \u201cWe are very good friends,\u201d Kyle said in a video published by Page Six<\/em><\/a> at the time. She also addressed the matching tattoo speculation, gesturing at best friend Teddi Mellencamp<\/strong><\/a>, who was sitting next to her in the car at the time that the video was recorded. \u201cWe have matching tattoos, too,\u201d Kyle explained. \u201c[Morgan\u2019s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with.\u201d<\/p>\n Later that month, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> what led to Kyle and Morgan\u2019s seemingly unlikely friendship.<\/p>\n \u201cKyle was drawn to Morgan<\/a>\u2019s lyrics about relationships and other hardships,\u201d the insider told Life & Style<\/em> at the time. \u201cThey\u2019ve given Kyle a lot of strength to deal with her own problems in her marriage<\/a> to Mauricio [Umansky]<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Kyle and Mauricio, 53, sparked split rumors in March. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Kyle without an engagement ring and noticed the pair were absent from each other\u2019s Instagram accounts in the following months. On July 3, reports claimed Kyle and Mauricio split<\/a> after 27 years of marriage, but she denied the breakup rumors in a statement hours later.<\/p>\n \u201cIn regards to the news that came out about us today \u2026 Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously,\u201d she wrote via Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n Since then, Kyle, who is producing Morgan\u2019s upcoming documentary<\/a>, has seemingly been spending most of her free time with the artist. They fueled romance speculation<\/a> after taking a trip to Aspen, Colorado together in August.<\/p>\n Kyle posted a series of Instagram photos from the trip that included a handful of appearances by the country star and captioned the post, \u201cBest time with the best people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
