While they insisted there was no infidelity involved, Richards, 54, has been spending quite a bit of time with singer Morgan Wade, leaving many to believe they're more than friends.

While an onlooker claimed the women were touchy during an intimate outing in Paris last month, they've stayed coy on the dating whispers.

However, the pair upped the ante when the Halloween actress starred as Wade's love interest in her "Fall in Love With Me" music video.

"We thought it would be a good idea to kind of poke fun at that and troll the trolls a little bit," the country star, 28, told an outlet of why Richards was cast.

The RHOBH fan-favorite met Wade via Instagram after Richards discovered her songs.

"So I followed her, and then I kept listening to her music on repeat, and then she sent me a DM asking me why I was following her," the mom-of-four recalled.

"I just didn't expect somebody from Beverly Hills," Wade said. "My friends freaked out, and I was like, 'Oh, OK.'"

Entertainment Tonight spoke to Umansky about trying to save his marriage.
