The admission came before Sunday's match against Manchester United, with Moyes addressing reporters on the fallout from a turbulent end to the summer transfer window.
Everton have been under intense scrutiny over their ownership structure since Friedkin's group completed its takeover of the club in December 2024, and this latest revelation will only deepen questions about who is actually running the show at Goodison Park.
Asked directly whether he had ever spoken to or met Friedkin since returning for a second spell as manager in January 2025, Moyes gave a blunt one-word answer: "No."
The Texan billionaire heads The Friedkin Group, which also owned Serie A side AS Roma until José Mourinho's sacking there in January 2024, and runs Everton's affairs from Houston.
He has not attended a home game since the takeover went through. Day-to-day oversight instead falls to his son-in-law, Rishi Majithia, working alongside chief executive Angus Kinnear, while Marc Watts serves as the club's executive chairman.
"My real contact is Angus," Moyes said. "Angus is the one who I would go to see. Rishi is the next one and then the head of the Friedkin family in America.
"I don't really get any direct conversations with them, but I do through Rishi, he is the one I would speak to."
The lack of a direct line to ownership comes at a sensitive moment. Everton's transfer window ended in chaos after the club accepted a £40m bid from Nottingham Forest for teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong, a sale that infuriated supporters and left Moyes short of numbers heading into the new season.
Fans made their anger known during the previous weekend's trip to Bournemouth, and Moyes was quick afterwards to side with the terraces rather than the boardroom, insisting the club was "managed by an Evertonian" and that "supporters aren't always wrong."
Despite the disconnect at the top, Moyes was adamant he has no intention of walking away from the club he first managed between 2002 and 2013, guiding them to a string of top-five Premier League finishes. "Everton's different," he said. "I wouldn't have come back for anybody but Everton."
He acknowledged the new ownership group was still finding its feet.
"We've got new owners in who are still feeling their way in the club. I think if we get to know each other more it will get better."
According to BBC Sport, Moyes struck a defiant tone throughout, insisting the upheaval could galvanise both his squad and the fanbase rather than derail their season.
Whether that optimism survives contact with a campaign that now begins with a threadbare squad and an owner still yet to introduce himself to his manager remains to be seen.
