What To Know About RHOBH Star Kyle Richards' Relationship With Morgan Wade

One thing Kyle Richards hasn't shied away from discussing is the origin of her friendship with Morgan Wade. The "RHOBH" star told viewers on Amazon Live, "I heard Morgan [Wade] on the radio — I heard 'Wilder Days,' and then I went to all of the others. And I was like, 'Wow, this girl's really blowing me away with her voice and the lyrics," (via ET). After being wowed by the singer's lyrical and vocal ability, she took a bold next step, following her on Instagram. 

However, Wade's initial reaction to Richards slinking onto her follower list was one more borne of confusion than excitement. The actor recounted the moment, admitting, "I followed her and then I kept listening to her music on, like, repeat. And then she sent me a DM asking me why I was following her." Wade reportedly couldn't understand why a massive Hollywood celebrity would want to follow her, but it was the genesis of a deep relationship nonetheless. 

After the beginning awkwardness was over, they became fast friends, and there's been quite the escalation in closeness ever since. Richards made seemingly drastic life transformations and decisions outside the norm of what she's used to, and arguably becoming friends with Morgan falls into that category. As evidenced during the Season 13 "RHOBH" premiere, even Richards' husband, Mauricio Umansky, was perplexed by her surprising new direction and attitude.
