The past year has been hard for Kyle Richards, who used to be on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s had to deal with a lot of rumors about her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade. Her marriage to Mauricio Umansky has also been hard this year. 

In case you forgot, the reality stars’ breakup was first reported on Bravo in July 2023. Someone told me that “Kyle and Mauricio have been split up for a while,” but they were still living together. Soon after, Kyle and Mo put out a joint statement saying, “Any claims that we are divorcing are false.” It’s been a crazy time for the RHOBH star since then. If fans on social media aren’t saying that the star is using Ozempic to get in shape, Sutton Stracke is making her feel bad during a sit-down lunch by telling her over and over to “name ’em.”

Even though 2023 was a bad year, Kyle’s new year is already looking good. When Kyle and her family went to Aspen, Colorado, for the winter (oof), they met someone very special. Like, A-List star-level. That’s correct. The singer Rihanna.

People who watch Bravo know that Rihanna, the world-famous singer, is also a big fan of The Real Housewives. She has been very open about how much she loves Kathy Hilton from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, how happy she is with Karen Huger, and how much she admires Garcelle Beauvais for being herself. Kyle should now feel the love. Riri, A$AP Rocky, Kyle, and the rest of her family spent time at Kemo Sabe over the holiday weekend. You know, Kyle LOVES to spend time at that hat shop. TMZ reported that Rihanna was done with her VIP shopping when Kyle walked in to do hers. She knew Rihanna was there and asked if they could meet. Ri got very excited when she heard and said, “F*ck yes!” Their families talked for about an hour before ending their time together. But before Rihanna left, Kyle gave her a blue fur hat that cost almost $900. She might soon post a picture of it on Instagram for us to see!
