Kyle Richards’ friendship with Morgan Wade is only getting deeper.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star is working on a documentary about the country singer, TMZ reported after the duo were spotted filming at Belly Up in Aspen, Colo., Sunday night.

Audience members at Wade’s concert were asked to sign releases allowing the footage to be used in a production, according to the outlet.

Richards is reportedly an executive producer on the project in addition to appearing on camera.

The doc will tell the story of Wade’s rise to stardom and her struggles with sobriety in addition to various other health issues.

Wade told Page Six exclusively in May that she is undergoing a double mastectomy in November after discovering she has the BRCA gene, which indicates a high risk for breast and ovarian cancers.

The following month, she shared via Instagram that she had been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes sudden tics.

The duo have been close friends since meeting in 2022.

“Keeping this short and sweet — if you see me shaking my head a lot I have Tourette’s,” she wrote. “Some folks genuinely ask — others like to troll me, is what it is. I make weird faces and noises sometimes and my head shakes. So just think before you judge.”

Richards, 54, previously shared that she met Wade, 28, in February 2022 after listening to the artist’s music on a road trip.

“The most unlikely of friendships some may think but kinship knows no boundaries 💞,” she captioned an Instagram photo of them having lunch with friends.

Since then, the pair have maintained a close relationship, which has included getting matching tattoos and attending the 2022 Americana Music Honors & Awards together.

They have also traveled the world together, visiting Mexico with friends and even going to Atlanta to spend time with Wade’s family.

The relationship sparked rumors that they were more than friends and the reason for Richards’ shocking split from her husband, Mauricio Umansky.

Richards recently split from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, after 27 years.

Earlier this month, Page Six confirmed that the spouses had separated after 27 years of marriage. However, they denied that an outside party was responsible for their breakup.

“There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part,” they said in a joint statement.

Richards and Umansky, 53, tied the knot in January 1996 and share three daughters together: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. The actress is also mom to daughter Farrah, 34, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
