Kyle Richards tried to shield her face while hanging out with Morgan Wade amid her split from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky.
Photos exclusively obtained by Page Six show the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star walking next to the country musician in Los Angeles Friday.
Richards, 54, who was still wearing her wedding rings, held her hand up to her face and attempted to stay under the radar in a black jacket and a pair of ripped, light wash denim jeans.
She paired the casual ensemble with black and white sneakers and let her brunette tresses fall down her back.
Wade, 28, also kept a low profile in a black hoodie with a baseball cap, dark shades and black sweatpants.
She also rocked a pair of black and white trainers while staying close to Richards’ side.
The pair were first linked after the Bravolebrity confirmed her separation from Umansky, 53, and fans called out her close relationship with the “Wilder Days” singer.
Richards has since addressed the speculation, telling paparazzi on Friday night that they are simply “very good friends.”
When the “Halloween” actress was asked if her romance with Wade was “just a rumor,” she bluntly responded, “Yes.”
The photographers then pressed the reality star about her matching tattoos with Wade.
“We have matching tattoos, too,” Richards said, pointing to her BFF Teddi Mellencamp, who was sitting beside her at the time.
“[Wade’s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with,” she added.

However, just a few hours earlier, the mother of four had played coy when asked about the “Take Me Away” artist.
“I’m not gonna answer that,” she replied when asked if the two were dating.
Richards and Wade’s latest outing comes one week after the “RHOBH” star announced her split from the real estate broker following 27 years of marriage.
At the time, a source told People that the estranged couple was “amicable” but had “been separated for a while now [while] living under the same roof.”
The former couple, who wed in 1996, then released a joint statement insisting that “any claims regarding [them] divorcing are untrue.”
The Bravolebrity and the “Buying Beverly Hills” star reiterated that “there has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part” and asked fans to “not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
The pair shares daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15, while Richards also has daughter Farrah, 34, with her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
