Bravo fans are questioning Kyle Richards’ close relationship with country singer Morgan Wade following the news of her split from husband Mauricio Umansky.
After People reported Monday that “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while,” many internet sleuths suggested that Wade may have a role in the break-up, reports Page Six.
Just weeks before their separation made headlines, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posted a carousel of photos to her Instagram captioned, “Life lately.”
While Wade was featured twice in the slide show, Umansky wasn’t pictured with his wife at all.
In fact, he hasn’t appeared on her feed in months.
In one shot, Richards, 54, and Wade, 28, posed for a mirror selfie after a gym session. In the second snap, they flashed sly smiles for a selfie while on vacation together in Aspen, Colorado.
The post led many to question why the reality TV star has been seemingly spending more time with the Psychopath singer than her husband.
“Where is Mauricio?!” one follower wondered, while another asked, “Kyle?!???!????!? Who is this lady friend?”
“I’m not judging what so ever fyi but is this a new relationship or am I wrong,” wrote a third.
“I guess you ain’t even hiding your relationship anymore,” a fourth chimed in, while another commented, “Shes telling us without telling us.”
The two women have been attached at the hip after meeting last year, with Richards even going as Wade’s date to the Americana Music Awards in September 2022.
Since then, the pair have travelled the world together, visiting Mexico with friends and even going to Atlanta to spend time with Wade’s family.
One eagle-eyed social media user also recently noticed that the two have been wearing what appear to be matching rings.
Richards, who has been spotted numerous times without her wedding ring this past year, seemingly swapped out her diamond sparkler for a silver band around March.
The following month, Wade was photographed wearing what appeared to be the same silver ring on that finger.
If that wasn’t enough, fans also noticed that the pair seem to have identical heart tattoos.
When asked about the new ink during the recent RHOBH reunion, the reality star played it coy, simply admitting that the symbol “means something to me” before quickly moving on.
Along with the heart tattoo, Wade also got a “K” tattooed on her inner elbow sometime within the last year.
More recently, the pair sat down with Richard’s half-sister, Kathy Hilton, to do an Instagram Live, during which the socialite hinted at their close relationship.
“We have a little secret,” Hilton teased while nodding towards Richards and Wade, whose faces dropped at the mention.
Although Richards quickly changed the subject, Wade remained stunned in the background.
Despite Richards’ split from Umansky, an insider told People that the pair “are still living under the same roof.”
“They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”
The former couple, who wed in 1996, share daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
While filming season 13 of her Bravo show this year, Richards told Page Six that she was “unbothered” by rumours that her marriage was on the rocks.
“It started all from a stupid picture of me without a ring on,” she told us in April.
Richards explained that her reason for not wearing the massive rock from Umansky, 53, was for safety and convenience.
“A, I haven’t been wearing my big diamond ring because there’s a lot of crime these days and I’m like, ‘I’m not comfortable,’” she said. “And B, I had just come from the gym lifting weights, so I was like, ‘That thing sparked that?’”
