LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna has weighed in on the Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade relationship controversy! The Fenty Beauty CEO is no stranger to rumors of a burgeoning romance between 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star and the country artist.
When asked if she felt the reports were real, Rihanna said simply, "I mean, duh. Listen, I love Kyle," she told Interview Magazine.
"It’s weird commenting on her relationship because I don’t know the facts. I just feel like she was able to re-observe her marriage through a new lens."
"For once, someone else made her feel valued, made her feel like she was cute and quirky and fun, and all the great things that maybe were taken for granted before," the 'Diamonds' singer went on, referring to Kyle's former husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky.
"And that’s why I believe that there’s something with Morgan because sometimes, it takes that for you to fight for what you deserve," she continued.
On Instagram, fans agreed with Rihanna, writing, "We do to Rhi, I knew once that tattoo episode." Another user chimed in, "lol talk about outing someone. Thanks, Riri for confirming what we already thought, except for Kyle lol."

One fan quipped, "The world is convinced as well." "That’s what we said, Rih!," wrote another.

Rihanna has already spoken out about Kyle's relationship. In December 2023, the two met at a western wear store in Aspen, Colorado, where the singer gave the reality star "all kinds of amazing advice about my marriage, the women, and how we're handling things."
"I haven't told anybody this, but she said something that was so amazing to me, and I was like, 'Oh my god,'" Kyle recounted on SiriusXM's Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast in March.
"She said, 'Next time one of these women want to know all the details of the intimacies of your marriage, tell them, 'Why do I need to give you the blueprint to my home when I'm already renovated?'"

During Part 3 of the reality show's Season 13 reunion, Bravo anchor Andy Cohen questioned Kyle directly if she pursued anything romantic with Morgan.
"No," Kyle said. "I mean, I love her, and she's my friend, and I love her." Kyle said she "didn't really know the creative behind (the music video) until I got there."
"I said to the director, 'I've never actually kissed anybody on camera, let alone a woman—or off camera.' I was very nervous and anxious, but if I'm being honest with myself, I was obviously curious to say yes," she said. "I said yes for a reason."
Kyle continued, "And, you know what? She's hot. What can I say."
When asked if she plans to pursue a romantic relationship with the musician, Kyle replied, "I don't know. I'm evolving; I'm changing. I'm clearly going through some evolution of my own, and I don't know what the future holds."
