Did Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade split? Internet claims country singer 'played along for storyline' as 'RHOBH' Season 13 wraps up

As 'RHOBH' Season 13 wraps up, Kyle Richards and rumored girlfriend Morgan Wade deleted each other's Instagram pictures

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Is Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade's friendship over? Fans noticed Morgan had deleted all selfies and pictures with Kyle from her Instagram account, leaving just two photos that advertised her future gigs.

Interestingly, Kyle removed photographs of Morgan from her own Instagram grid. She did, however, leave a post from Morgan's concert in August.

The post included a group photo with Morgan and footage of the country singer singing on stage. Notably, the two, who have been at the center of relationship rumors, continue to follow each other on Instagram.

Fans took note of the unexpected removal. "So, Morgan cleared Kyle and almost everything else from her IG," one account said on X.

One user suspected, "Im being a brat… but my first thought was., because the season is over.. so is the storyline and Kyle per usual will be bawling next to Andy. Next season they (she and Mo ) will be “working it out”." Another user chimed in, "Season is over job done next season the reconciliation with mo."

Others threw a jab at it writing, "The season is over Morgan played along with Kyles storyline & got herself some new fans…" Another person wrote, "Kyle likes to do weird things I’m noticing. Guarantee this is just a way of starting new rumours again, or even to get attention and drop an album for Morgan. Kyle’s bored and likes the attention and Morgan is going along with it. Why not. Kyle’s been in the spotlight way longe."

One claimed, "I am going with my original theory. Morgan used Kyle for publicity. Kyle was in a bad place at the time and didn't see she was being taken advantage of." "Maybe they were using each other, Morgan got lots if exposure for her music & Kyle got a storyline for," read another fan theory.

Were Morgan Wade and 'RHOBH' star Kyle Richards dating?

Following Kyle's separation from her spouse, Mauricio Umansky, romance speculations swirled around her and the tattooed diva. Fans even noted they had matching heart tattoos on their wrists when the news of their friendship originally broke.

Not only that, but the two got tattoos together on 'The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills', with Morgan momentarily holding Kyle's hand as she prepped for the tattoo. Morgan then allowed Kyle to tattoo her initials 'K' on her arm.

However, the two have always stated that they are merely friends. Kyle joined Morgan in her music video for her track 'Fall In Love With Me' in August, which portrayed the two ladies yearning for each other and climaxing with a passionate kiss between the two.

However, the artist previously stated that she and Kyle were only attempting to "troll the trolls" with the video. In an August interview with PEOPLE, the singer-songwriter asserted that "we're friends."

When did 'RHOBH's Kyle Richards split from Mauricio Umansky?

Kyle and Mauricio announced their separation in July, after 27 years of marriage. They have three daughters: Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.

Kyle also has a daughter, Farrah, from her first marriage. In an interview with UsWeekly last month, Kyle discussed becoming in "the best shape of her life" during her breakup.

Kyle Richards to open up about Mauricio Umansky and Morgan Wade in 'RHOBH' Reunion

Kyle will not avoid queries about her relationships with former husband Mauricio and singer Morgan, at least not until the cameras run at the 'RHOBH' reunion. TMZ approached the 'RHOBH' star as she ran errands in Beverly Glen and inquired whether she planned to disclose her split from Mauricio - or open up about her relationship with Morgan - during the reunion show taping.

Kyle says she's happy to address questions about Mauricio and Morgan... as long as host Andy Cohen and her 'RHOBH' castmates do, which they very likely will. Kyle asked, "Have you seen our show?"

Season 13 of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
