Morgan Wade may have Tourette Syndrome, but it has never held her back—both in her personal and professional life. In fact, the “Take Me Away” singer is dating Kyle Richards as of 2023! Seeing her come this far, her parents couldn’t be prouder, and they’re often vocal about it on their social media.
So, who are Morgan Wade’s parents? Read on to find out.
Who are Morgan Wade’s parents?
Morgan Wade was born to parents Robin Fonville and Jason Wade. They are the reason why Morgan never let her condition hold her back.
“Short and sweet – if you see me shaking my head a lot I have Tourette’s. Some people actually ask – others like to troll me, it’s true. Sometimes I make weird faces and noises and my head shakes. So think before you judge,” she posted in an IG post later posted on Whiskey Riff.
Sharing the feature, her mother Robin also wrote on her Facebook, “So proud of this little girl for being so vulnerable and open! I love you, Morgan!”
Now, as of 2023, Morgan is in the spotlight for two reasons. One is her music. Two is her relationship with Kyle Richards. But Morgan had quite a bit of controversy while dating Kyle because fans thought she may have contributed to the breakup of Kyle and Mauricio Umansky’s marriage.
Morgan and Kyle bonded after meeting at the Americana Music Awards in September 2022. Since then, the couple has traveled the world together, visiting Mexico with friends and even going to Atlanta to spend time with Morgan’s family.
