It's a brand new day, which means a brand new twist in the tale of Real Housewives star Kyle Richards and country music singer Morgan Wade's rumoured romance.
Ever since mother-of-four Kyle confirmed her shock split from husband of 28 years Mauricio Umansky last summer, she has been seen cosying up to the much-loved musician, setting speculation rife that the pair are romantically involved.
Though they haven't yet confirmed the news, gal pals Kyle and Morgan are notorious for keeping their fans on their toes, releasing subtle hints about their alleged 'fling' on an almost-weekly basis.

And today, reality star Kyle has fuelled those rumours even further, by leaving a seductive comment underneath one of her potential new beau's Insta pics.
Earlier this year, the duo were papped together at 55-year-old Kyle's birthday soiree in Mexico.
Weeks later, photos taken at the filming for Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen saw the 29-year-old country star seemingly caressing the actor's hip.

The pair even went on to film a music video together for the singer's 2023 track 'Fall In Love With Me' - a segment of which saw the pair feeding one another fruit.
And earlier this month, Kyle revealed a brand new piece of body art on social media - showing that Los Angeles artist Amanda Merkatz had drawn the outline of a cowboy hat on her arm - leaving some fans wondering whether it could be a subtle shout-out to Morgan.
As we say, however, just today, Kyle appeared - once again - to be confirming the news with a rather cheeky comment left on her Instagram.

Underneath a black and white video that Morgan posted to the snap-sharing app, Kyle teasingly penned: "Save a horse, ride a cowgirl".
Though it may well have been that the TV favourite was referring to Big & Rich’s hit song, 'Save a Horse', Wade responded by commenting a series of 'dead' emojis.
Earlier this week, in a plot twist no one expected, Kyle long-term ex-husband Mauricio addressed the speculation regarding his former flame, opening up on the 'connection' his ex-wife supposedly has with Morgan.
Despite admitting he isn't certain where his ex-wife's relationship stands with Morgan, Mauricio believes they have a 'connection'.

Speaking in an episode of brand new real estate reality series Buying Beverly Hills, the 53-year-old tells his colleague: "I don't really know, to be quite honest with you. I have not asked her straight up.

"There's a lot of news on the two of them. Are they dating? Are they not dating? Honestly, I just never asked straight up."
And though one might imagine it difficult to consider - even know of - your former flame finding someone new, Mauricio claims that he doesn't want to 'put extra pressure on her'.

"They definitely have some sort of a connection together," he continued to say.
"You know, there's no question about that. I mean, they spend a lot of time together. What that connection is, I have no idea."
"And maybe one of the reasons I don't want to ask is because I don't want to put the extra pressure on her.
"Like, if it's working for her and it's giving her the opportunity to be dealing with our separation and what we're dealing with, I'm good with that."
