Kyle Richardsjust added tattoo artist to her resumé.
In the trailer, Richards and Wade visit a tattoo shop where a man, who appears to be a tattoo artist, asks the pair how they met. “She stalked me," Wade jokingly replies.
Then, footage shows theRHOBHstar using a tattoo gun to ink a cursive letter “K” on the musician’s already heavily tattooed arm.
While Richards adds the ink to Wade’s sleeve,Dorit Kemsley— in a different clip — asks her, “You put the first letter of your name on her body? What is going on, Kyle?” as theHalloween Endsactress shrugs.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Richards andMauricio Umansky’s recentseparationsends shockwaves through the cast. When coupled with the new ink, this newsleads the group to question her and Wade’s relationship.

Wade and Richards first became friends after connecting on social media.
“I stalked @morganwademusic on IG after listening to her music while driving solo from Utah to Colorado while making #housewivesofthenorthpole & today we met up in person for the 1st time. The most unlikely of friendships some may think but kinship knows no boundaries 💞” Richards wrote onInstagramin February 2022.
Since then, the pair have spent a lot of time together, fromjoint workoutstovacations with otherHousewivesstars.
After their friendship started spawning relationship rumors, the pair poked fun at the gossip in Wade’smusic videofor her single “Fall in Love with Me” in August 2023.

While promoting the project in an AugustInstagram video, Wade and Richards addressed their romance rumors head-on.
“I’ve done several music videos, and every time there’s someone in it with me, they always assume we’re dating or we’re, you know, something going on,” Wade said in the clip, adding that people on the internet are “obsessed with” the pair’s friendship.
“We thought it would be, you know, kind of a good idea to kind of poke fun at that and, you know, kind of troll the trolls a little bit,” she added.

Though they come from very different places — Richards from Los Angeles and Wade from small-town Virginia — Wade said she learned quickly that the two actually had plenty in common.
Like Wade, who is six years sober,Richards does not drinkand is also a fitness fanatic.
The pair also connected on a deeper level, too. Richards’mom died in 2002after being diagnosed with breast cancer, and Wade waspreparing to undergo a double mastectomyafter testing positive for the RAD51D gene, which puts her at a higher risk of breast cancer.
