Kyle Richards is stepping up to clarify some swirling rumors that have caught the attention of fans and tabloids alike.
The 55-year-old star of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* has emphatically denied her co-star Sutton Stracke’s assertion that she attempted to “hook up” with actor Kevin Costner during a recent trip to Aspen, Colorado.
In a candid chat with TMZ, Richards stated, “That is definitely not true.
I think she was just joking.” She elaborated on her limited interactions with the 69-year-old actor, noting, “He lives in Aspen; I have a home in Aspen too.

Meanwhile, the dynamic between Richards and Wade has drawn considerable attention, especially following the separation of Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, after nearly three decades of marriage.
The buzz intensified when viewers witnessed the two almost share a kiss in Wade’s music video back in August 2023.
At the season 13 reunion of *RHOBH*, Richards maintained that her relationship with Wade was strictly platonic, though she acknowledged her own evolving feelings about her sexuality.
“I love her, she’s my friend, and I love her,” she remarked, hinting at deeper emotions.
Richards candidly expressed uncertainty about her future, commenting, “I’m evolving; I’m changing.
