After nearly seven years together, actress Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers are officially heading for divorce. The news, which surfaced in early July 2025, has surprised fans, especially following the couple’s public appearances and their co-starring role in a recent reality TV series.
Timeline of the Breakup
Aaron Phypers filed for divorce on July 7, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences. According to legal documents, the two had already separated by July 4. The filing revealed Phypers’ request for spousal support and his claim that he is currently without income.
Finances at the Forefront
Phypers disclosed that he is not earning any money at present and listed his average monthly expenses as over $105,000, including:
$20,000 on clothing
$18,000 on rent
$15,000 for dining out
$8,000 on household necessities
$7,000 on childcare
In contrast, Denise Richards reportedly earns around $250,000 a month, largely from her OnlyFans platform, brand endorsements, and entertainment projects.
Family and Children
Although Denise and Aaron do not have biological children together, Phypers had previously begun the process of adopting Denise’s youngest daughter, Eloise. Richards also has two daughters, Sami and Lola, from her previous marriage to actor Charlie Sheen. There has been no confirmation if Phypers’ adoption of Eloise was finalized before the split.
What Led to the Divorce?
According to reports from Page Six, the breakup followed a heated argument where both reportedly exchanged harsh words. Despite appearing stable to the public—especially with the premiere of their Bravo reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things—the marriage was reportedly under strain for months. Sources claim that Denise was shocked by the filing, as she never expected Aaron to actually go through with it.
Impact on Their Reality Show
The couple recently starred together in the Bravo reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, which premiered in March 2025 and featured their blended family. However, Bravo has confirmed that the show will not return for a second season, citing that it was always intended as a limited series.
Conclusion
While Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers once seemed like a solid pair—publicly expressing affection and even working together—the end of their marriage marks a dramatic turn in both of their personal stories. The divorce proceedings are ongoing, and fans now await how both stars will navigate this new chapter in the public eye.
