Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade’s Friendship Timeline: From Meeting Online to Music Video and More

Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade’s friendship began thanks to music.

The twosome connected when Richards followed the musician on social media after hearing one of her songs during a road trip.

“I heard Morgan on the radio. I heard ‘Wilder Days,’” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recalled via an August 2023 Instagram Reel. “And then I went to all the others, and I was like, ‘Wow, this girl is really blowing me away with her voice and the lyrics.’”

Richards explained that she went to find the singer on social media and started following her. For Wade, she was shocked to see that Richards followed her since she “didn’t expect someone from Beverly Hills” to take an interest in her.

Wade and Richards got close and later met up in person, taking their friendship offline.
