AceShowbiz - Sutton Stracke, a cast member of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", has claimed that fellow Housewife Kyle Richards once attempted to pursue a romantic connection with actor Kevin Costner. Stracke made the revelation during an appearance on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show."

According to Stracke, Richards visited Aspen, Colorado, where Costner was also present. "Kyle and I had this conversation, she was in Aspen and Kevin Costner was there. And she was, like, trying to hook up with Kevin Costner," Stracke said.

Richards has vehemently denied Stracke's claim. Speaking to TMZ, she stated, "That is definitely not true. I think she was just joking." Richards confirmed that she and Costner have homes in Aspen but insisted that they have only met twice and have a minimal relationship.

"I don't think that Morgan's the end all, be all because... there's some Kevin Costner mixed in there," Stracke added, referring to rumors that Richards is dating country singer Morgan Wade.

Richards has previously denied these rumors as well, stating that she and Wade are close friends. She has also denied allegations of a relationship with Wade despite appearing in his music video.

The claims made by Stracke come after Richards' separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, in July 2023. Richards has emphasized that she and Umansky are not planning a divorce.

Costner, meanwhile, finalized his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in September 2023. He has denied being in a romantic relationship with singer Jewel, who was rumored to be his girlfriend after their public outing.
