Kyle Richards has confirmed that she is not dating Morgan Wade, as previously reported by The Messenger.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told paparazzi Friday that she and the country singer are just "very good friends," according to Page Six.

Richards was spotted backing out of a parking spot on Friday night in West Hollywood, Calif. when paparazzi began to ask her about her relationship status.

Richards also confirmed Friday that the dating rumors were indeed just rumors.

"[Teddi Mellencamp and I] have matching tattoos, too,” Richards said, responding to a comment about her and Wade's matching tattoos while pointing to the former RHOBH star, who accompanied her in the passenger seat.

"[Wade’s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with," she said.

The Messenger previously reported the news, stating on July 4 that according to a source, Richard's breakup from real estate broker Maurico Umansky had nothing to do with Wade.

"There was no cheating. Kyle and Morgan are not together and have not hooked up," the source told The Messenger. "They are just friends." 

"In regards to any rumors swirling, there has not been any cheating on either side," added another insider.

This is not the first instance that someone has denied allegations of cheating in Richards and Umansky's relationship, either. In a joint Instagram post, the pair spoke out about their split and denied any wrongdoing by either party.

"In regards to the news that came out about us today... Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue," the statement says. "However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage."

"But we both love and respect each other tremendously," the statement continues. "There has been no wrongdoing on anyone's part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative. Thank you for the love and support. Kyle & Maurico."
