‘Not single’ Kyle Richards plays coy when asked about Morgan Wade dating rumors
Her lips are sealed.
Kyle Richards played coy when a paparazzo asked her Friday whether she is “dating” country singer Morgan Wade.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, who was dressed casually while filling up her black Range Rover with gas, bashfully shook her head in disapproval of the question as she smiled and turned away.
“I’m not gonna answer that,” she appeared to mumble, later adding that the two are “very good friends.”
When asked how “single life” has been treating her since news of her separation from longtime husband Mauricio Umansky broke earlier this week, Richards, 54, crossed her arms and stated, “I’m not single.”
The Bravolebrity is also “not divorced,” as she made sure to inform the inquiring photog, urging him to “read [her] statement on Instagram.”
Page Six confirmed Monday that Richards and her successful real estate broker spouse, 53, decided to part ways after 27 years of marriage.
A source told People the pair had “been separated for a while now” but noted that they “remain amicable” and even still live “under the same roof.”
Hours later, the duo released a joint statement insisting that “any claims regarding [them] divorcing are untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage,” they admitted. “But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”
The “Housewife” and the “Buying Beverly Hills” star — who is still wearing his wedding ring — went on to say that “there has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part” and asked fans to “not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
Though Richards’ friendship with Wade, 28, has been blossoming since last spring, fans began to wonder about the nature of their relationship after noticing just how close they had become.
In fact, the pals appear to have matching heart tattoos and sport the same silver ring on that finger.

The musician even brought the reality star to the 2022 Americana Music Honors & Awards in September, just one month after Wade’s former girlfriend, Kady Cannon, allegedly broke up with her.
“There were just a lot of things that didn’t add up, and I had to let go and move on without having all of those answers,” Cannon told us about their split.
“There comes a point where you have to put yourself first and prioritize yourself and value your worth.”
Though the “Temptation Island” alum, 30, confessed she had “feelings” about the tight-knit bond Wade quickly “developed” with Richards, she did not feel comfortable elaborating.
“The only people who can speak on Morgan and Kyle’s relationship or friendship or whatever you wanna call it — and to whatever degree that is — are Morgan and Kyle, and that’s it,” she explained.
