The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/span><\/i><\/a> star Mauricio Umansky<\/strong><\/a> had nothing kind things to say about wife Kyle Richards<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 best friend, Morgan Wade<\/strong><\/a>, amid the ongoing rumors that Kyle and Morgan are more than close pals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Paparazzi caught up with Mauricio, 53, while he was leaving rehearsal for <\/a><\/span>Dancing With the Stars <\/span><\/i><\/a>season 32<\/a> alongside partner Emma Slater in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 14. When asked if he was excited for Kyle, 54, to come watch the live performances on <\/span>DWTS<\/span><\/i>, Mauricio said with enthusiasm, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d He was then asked if Morgan, 28, would also be coming to the show, and Mauricio said he didn\u2019t know because she and Kyle are \u201cfilming\u201d and \u201cdoing all kinds of stuff\u201d in Paris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mauricio was then asked if he had a good relationship with Morgan, to which the realtor replied, \u201cOh yes, I love her. She\u2019s great.\u201d He even considered the possibility of dancing to one of Morgan\u2019s songs during the show. Though he couldn\u2019t name his favorite Morgan tune at the moment, he said, \u201cShe\u2019s got so many great songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Kyle and Morgan have been making headlines ever since news broke on July 3 that Kyle and Mauricio had \u201cbeen separated for a while<\/a>\u201d but were \u201cliving under the same roof.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey remain amicable as they figure out what\u2019s next for them and their family,\u201d a source close to the couple told <\/span>People<\/span><\/i><\/a> at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n The next day, Kyle and Mauricio released a joint statement about their separation<\/a>, denying divorce rumors but confirming that they\u2019ve \u201chad a rough year.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously,\u201d they wrote on Instagram. \u201cThere has been no wrongdoing on anyone\u2019s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When news of the separation came to light, fans of Kyle immediately wondered if Morgan had put a wedge between the couple. She befriended Kyle<\/a> in February 2022 after Kyle DM\u2019d her as a fan of Morgan\u2019s song \u201cWilder Days.\u201d They quickly grew close and went on several trips together in Italy, Mexico and Colorado. They\u2019ve attended events together and even got matching tattoos. Kyle is also producing a documentary about Morgan\u2019s life<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There has been continued speculation that Kyle and the country singer are dating, although the two have insisted they\u2019re only friends<\/a>. They did, however, poke fun at the rumors<\/a> with Morgan\u2019s music video for \u201cFall in Love with Me\u201d in August. In the video, Kyle plays Morgan\u2019s love interest, and they share a kiss.<\/span><\/p>\n When the music video dropped, Mauricio was among the first people<\/a> to react to it. Kyle shared the video on Instagram, and the <\/span>RHOBH<\/span><\/i> husband commented with fire emojis, \u201cSo good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
