In a recent interview, Lisa Vanderpump expressed her disinterest in Kyle Richards’ relationship status, stating that she does not feel the need to know about it. Richards, who announced her separation from Mauricio Umansky in July 2023, has sparked speculation with her close friendship with musician Morgan Wade. The pair starred in a music video together and appeared together in public, leading fans to question if their relationship is romantic. Vanderpump, who left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2019, mentioned that her friendship with Richards has become distant, stating that the “ship has sailed” between them.
Despite the distance in their friendship, Vanderpump expressed sadness over Richards and Umansky’s marriage troubles. She mentioned that rumors surrounding their relationship were common but that she always believed in not listening to them. Vanderpump sympathized with Richards, as she knew how important her marriage was to her and hoped that they could find a way back to each other. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently streaming on Peacock, and although Bravo has not confirmed any casting decisions for the upcoming season, Richards is expected to return.
The friendship between Vanderpump and Richards dates back to their time together on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. However, their relationship took a turn for the worse due to the infamous “Puppygate” storyline, leading to their falling out. Vanderpump mentioned in a recent appearance on Today that she has been honest about her feelings towards Richards and that their interactions have not been pleasant. The former co-stars are no longer as close as they once were, with Vanderpump suggesting that reconciliation may not be in their future.
Fans have speculated about the nature of Richards and Wade’s friendship, especially after their involvement in a music video together. Despite maintaining that their relationship is platonic, Richards has kept the door open for a potential romantic relationship with Wade. During the RHOBH reunion show, she mentioned that she is evolving and going through changes, leaving her uncertain about what the future holds. Vanderpump, on the other hand, remains unconcerned about her former co-star’s personal life, stating that she does not feel the need to know about who Richards is involved with.
Vanderpump, who left RHOBH to focus on Vanderpump Rules and other projects, ended her nine-season run on the show due to conflicts with other cast members. Her friendship with Richards was strained by their falling out over the “Puppygate” scandal, and despite their history, Vanderpump has made it clear that their relationship is unlikely to be repaired. As for Richards, she continues to navigate her evolving personal life, which includes speculation about her relationship with Wade. The dynamic between the two former co-stars remains distant, with Vanderpump expressing detachment from Richards’ romantic endeavors.
