When there's rumor of a cheating scandal, internet detectives are attracted like flies. And it's no different for actress Kyle Richards. It was recently revealed that she and her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky, have been separated, though they still live under the same roof. And now fans are speculating that perhaps she was cheating on him with singer Morgan Wade.
The 54-year-old recently posted images to her Instagram, and a couple of the slides include photos of her and Morgan together. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star captioned the post, "Life lately …" days before making a statement regarding her marriage to Mauricio.
Some fans in the comments did not shy away from speculating.
"Well now we all know.. the debate on Kyle’s weight loss is over and the secret is out!!" someone stated. "It’s that 'new to the lady pond with a new love' weight loss program welcome to the club and happy belated pride, Kyle! ."

The question that ultimately arose? Why was Kyle spending more time with the 28-year-old than she was with her husband, who hadn't appeared on her Instagram feed in months?
Apparently, Kyle and Morgan have become very close since meeting last year. Some of their hangouts have included traveling to Mexico with friends, spending time in Atlanta with Morgan's family, and even going as dates together to the Americana Music Awards in 2022.
Another social media user noticed that the two even wear what seems to be matching rings on their ring fingers. And to top it off, identical heart tattoos as well.
Morgan's ex, Kady Cannon, recently shared that she had "feelings" about the friendship between the singer and actress, who started getting close while Morgan and Kady were still together. She said something about the two of them stood out to her.
But while she had her feelings, she didn't want to add any fire to the flame. “We’re dealing with somebody’s marriage here, and I don’t take that lightly,” she said. "I don’t wanna add to anyone’s speculation or opinion one way or another. The only people who can speak on Morgan and Kyle’s relationship or friendship or whatever you wanna call it — and to whatever degree that is — are Morgan and Kyle, and that’s it.”
Kyle recently posted a statement on her Instagram indirectly shutting down any allegations of cheating.
"Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue," it read. "However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone's part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative."
