Bravo is reportedly insisting that Kyle Richards come clean about her alleged “secret romance” with Morgan Wade on the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
With production on the new episodes looming, an insider claims the network is pushing Kyle, 55, to reveal new details about what’s really going on between her and the 29-year-old country singer, who she’s insisted is just a friend, amid her ongoing separation from Mauricio Umansky, 53.
“The producers feel that Kyle has said all she can say about her split from Mauricio [Umansky] and [now] it is time to tell the truth about her dating Morgan,” a source told the Daily Mail on April 19. “Kyle has beat around the bush a ton on Morgan and it is getting old. It is time for her to finally admit that it is more than a friendship.”
Although Kyle has continuously denied that she and Morgan are a couple, she has simultaneously fueled rumors of the potential romance by talking about dating a woman on the show and starring as Morgan’s love interest in her racy “Fall in Love With Me” music video.
Needless to say, the rumors have pressed on, with the Daily Mail’s source stating that it’s clear there is more than a friendship between the ladies.
“It was more than just friends, it was more than a girl crush,” the source alleged. “I don’t think Kyle puts a label on it. But it is something spicy I will tell you that for sure.”
“Morgan treats Kyle like she is the most beautiful person in the whole entire world, and that is intoxicating. Kyle really does feel like she is pretty enough, that she is funny enough, that she is smart enough when she is with Morgan,” they added.
According to the report, the much younger Morgan is “fresh and new and fun” and makes Kyle “feel young again.”
“They travel and do fun things together, plus Morgan is easy going, she makes things just easy for Kyle. Kyle is naturally a very anxious person and Morgan settles her down, she brings the calm,” the insider noted, adding that the dynamic is different than the relationship Kyle has with Mauricio.
“Kyle was always trying to show Mauricio that she was pretty, funny and smart enough. She was always trying to [dazzle] him,” they explained. “And I think it just got exhausting for her. 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.”
That said, she has allegedly kept the truth about her and Morgan’s relationship a secret.
“She has not wanted to say a lot on [Morgan], no, but who knows maybe she will for season 14!” the source stated. “Kyle is smart, she is savvy, she will do the right thing for her career and family.”
As RHOBH fans may have heard, Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41, confirmed her “bittersweet” departure from the series earlier this week and Annemarie Wiley, also 41, revealed her exit last month.
