Kyle Richards’ Future on ‘RHOBH’ at Risk Over Hiding Lesbian Relationship with Morgan Wade
Bravo is reportedly pressuring Kyle Richards to address her relationship with 29-year-old singer Morgan Wade for the upcoming season 14 of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
According to DailyMail.com sources, the network is pushing for Kyle Richards to be transparent about the alleged romance if she wants to continue on the hit reality TV series.
According to a source, the RHOBH producers believe that Kyle Richards has exhausted discussions about her split from Mauricio Umansky and now it’s necessary for her to be truthful about her relationship with Morgan.
The insider stated, “Kyle has skirted around the topic of Morgan for quite some time, and it’s becoming tiresome. It’s time for her to acknowledge that their connection goes beyond friendship.” Despite assertions from the 55-year-old reality star that she and Morgan are merely friends, speculation persists.
While the source didn’t clarify the exact status of their relationship, they emphasized that it extended beyond friendship. “It was more than just friends, it was more than a girl crush,” the insider stated.
Despite Kyle and Morgan’s reluctance to define their bond, their interactions have sparked speculation. From kissing in a music video to being affectionate in public, including a photo of Morgan seated on Kyle’s lap, their dynamic has garnered attention. The source highlighted Morgan’s treatment of Kyle, describing it as adoring. “Morgan treats Kyle like she is the most beautiful person in the whole entire world, and that is intoxicating,” they said, adding that Kyle feels valued and appreciated in Morgan’s company.
The age gap between Kyle and Morgan adds another layer to their dynamic. “Morgan is in her 20s and everything is fresh and new and fun. Morgan makes Kyle feel young again,” the source noted. Beyond age, Morgan’s personality complements Kyle’s in a way that eases her anxieties.
“They travel and do fun things together, plus Morgan is easygoing, she makes things just easy for Kyle,” the insider explained, highlighting Morgan’s ability to bring a sense of calm to Kyle’s life.
Contrasting her experience with Mauricio — Kyle found herself constantly striving to impress him, feeling the need to prove herself.
“Kyle was always trying to show Mauricio that she was pretty, funny, and smart enough. She was always trying to dazzle him. And I think it just got exhausting for her,” the source added.
The source added, “She has said she is a different person now that she is not drinking, and I think she has a no BS shield up. So she is not the same as she used to be. She is super real these days. Also with Mauricio it was always about the bills, the kids, the planning, the issues. She doesn’t have baggage with Morgan.”
But Kyle has not been ‘super real’ on the show.
“She has not wanted to say a lot on Wade, no, but who knows maybe she will for season 14!’ added the source”
“Kyle is smart, she is savvy, she will do the right thing for her career and family,” emphasized the insider, acknowledging Kyle’s ability to make decisions that align with her best interests. Despite their separation, Kyle and Mauricio continue to reside together in their LA home, keeping the details of their split private.
As speculation swirls around her future on the Bravo reality series — Kyle remains uncertain about returning for the next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In a recent interview with Extra at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscars party, Kyle expressed her hesitance to commit to season 14.
“People keep asking me, ‘Are you going to come back? Are you going to leave?’ It’s always something I decide last minute,” she revealed. Reflecting on the challenges of the current season, she added, “I think this season, particularly, because I had been so under the microscope, not just with the cast, but in the public eye – it’s been very challenging to navigate through that when I’m just trying to figure out my life myself.”
