Kyle Richards has set the record straight about her relationship with Morgan Wade following her split from Mauricio Umansky.
“We are very good friends,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“ star told paparazzi while she was backing out of a parking spot in her black Range Rover.
When Richards was asked if her relationship with Wade was “just a rumor,” she responded.
The paps then continued to press the reality star about her matching tattoos with the “Wilder Days” singer.
“We have matching tattoos, too,” Richards responded, pointing to best friend and former “RHOBH” star Teddi Mellencamp, who was in the passenger seat.
“[Wade’s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with,” she said before driving off.
However, hours earlier, Richards played coy when asked about her and Wade’s rumored romance, and mumbled to another pap, “I’m not gonna answer that.”
A source told People at the time that the two had been separated for “a while now.”
Richards and Umansky, 53, shut down the rumor that infidelity had anything to do with their decision in a joint statement, adding that any reports that they are divorcing are “untrue.”
Fans have been speculating about the true nature of Richards’ and Wade’s blossoming friendship for months.
