The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) season 15 could be a big one for Kyle Richards, who seems poised to discuss her dating and personal life more publicly.
Richards’ sexuality and personal life has been the subject of speculation since her separation from Mauricio Umansky, her husband of 27 years. The two, who share daughters Alexia, Portia, Sophia, and Farrah, separated two years ago but are not yet divorced.
Since the separation, Richards, 56, has been speculated to be in a relationship with the singer, Morgan Wade, 30, which she’s addressed on a couple of occasions.

The new trailer for RHOBH season 15 opens with Bozoma Saint John saying to Richards, “I’m a girls’ girl, but in order to be friends, I want to know the information so that I can also be helpful.”
Richards then replies, “Well, why don’t you ask what you really want to ask?” before saying, “I could go Brad; I could go Angelina.”
Elsewhere, Richards tells Saint John, who is possibly taking on a matchmaking role, she wants “Someone who likes sex!” In the clip Saint John appears in front of a whiteboard that list qualities such as “Funny, intelligent, shared values, and sexy” in one column as well as “smart and gentleman” in another.
And later in the trailer, Erika Jayne tells Richards, “You need to get out there and do whatever makes you happy.”

In the accompanying announcement to the season 15 trailer, which dropped on Tuesday (4 November), Bravo said Richards would be “moving forward, leaving behind the rumors and speculation surrounding her personal life over the past few years.”
Before now, Richards has kept it vague when it has come to her relationship with Wade.
In the reunion for RHOBH season 14, Richards touched on her sexuality saying it was something she had been “questioning.” This was something she had never done prior to the speculation about her and Wade, she told Andy Cohen.
Richards starred in Wade’s ‘Fall in Love with Me’ music video in which the two kissed. However, neither woman has identified publicly as LGBTQ+.
During the reunion, Cohen came for Richards after she remained tightlipped over her connection with Wade, despite the singer’s appearances on season 13.
Regarding the music video, Cohen said Richards and Wade had “contributed so mightily to a conversation that was already a runaway train, and that was totally in her hands.” He added, “I have to say. It’s like, at some point, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Before that, during the RHOBH reunion episode in 2024, Richards spoke of “evolving” when asked about her future relationship with Wade.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns to Bravo on Thursday 4 December. UK viewers can watch on Now TV.
