Morgan Wade and her close friend Kyle Richards are both stepping into new chapters — one musically, the other personally. Just as Richards opened up about her evolving identity in the “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 15 trailer, Wade surprised fans with her own career-shifting announcement.
Morgan Wade Reveals 2026 Career Shift
In a November 6 Instagram video, Wade thanked fans for their support before announcing a major pivot.
“Hey, y’all. I just want to take a minute to talk about a couple of things,” she began. “One, thank you. It’s been about almost 500 shows in the last, I guess, technically, three and a half years. Amazing… I have been to a lot of places that this small-town girl never thought she would get to go to.”
Wade, who made her Bravo debut in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 13, reflected on how much her life had changed. “I’ve done a lot of things, met a lot of people, and I couldn’t have done literally any of that without you guys buying tickets, listening to my songs. I’m forever grateful for that.”
Then came the reveal: Wade plans to take “a little break from touring” in 2026 to pursue non-music projects. “There’s a lot of things that I’m working on outside the music world,” she continued. “There’s a lot of things that I haven’t had time to do, and I’m gonna go do that, and take a bit of a vacation, and just experience some life.”
While she emphasized nothing is final — “I say that now, and then who knows” — Wade said she expects 2026 to look “a little different” from her nonstop touring years. She will wrap up the year with a handful of Home for the Holiday shows across Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
Kyle Richards Opens Up About Her Future and Identity
As Wade shared her career news, Richards was simultaneously addressing her own personal evolution. Speaking with Variety at BravoCon, the “RHOBH” OG responded to growing speculation after the season 15 trailer featured her now-viral line: “I could go Brad, I could go Angelina.”
Richards explained she is no longer interested in defining herself. “I don’t like labels,” she said. “I always had a type, tall, dark and handsome, and that’s what I married. I am growing and evolving, and my mind has opened up. So I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds now, and I’m fine with that.”
When the reporters casually mentioned that they’re lesbians, Richards admitted, “Ha! That would never have crossed my mind before, ever in my life and now I’m like, that’s totally an option.”
The Bravo star, who was married to Mauricio Umansky for 27 years before their 2023 separation, said she is not dating anyone or interested in being set up. “Whatever happens, happens. I’m actually really happy spending time alone.”
Her comments follow years of nonstop conversation linking her to Wade. Their steamy 2023 music video ignited a wave of romance speculation and fueled sightings across the globe.
