Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers have split.
Phypers, 52, filed for divorce from the “Wild Things” star, 54, on Monday in Los Angeles, according to documents obtained by The Post.
Phypers listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup. He also listed the date of separation as Friday, July 4.
The pair tied the knot in 2018 in Malibu, California.
Richards shared in a statement at the time, “I am so happy to officially be married to the love of my life!”
The wellness practitioner is seeking spousal support from Richards, per the documents. He also asked to keep their debts and assets separate, as well as making sure to note that he wants his power tools, 2018 Indian Dark Horse motorcycle and his Shelby GT500 sports car.
The Post has reached out to Richards’ rep and Phypers for comment.
The estranged husband and wife were married for six years. Richards is mom to daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
The actress adopted daughter Eloise, 14, in 2011. In 2019, Phypers legally adopted Eloise.
In May, the two attended the Jonathan Foundation annual fund-raiser together, and gave no insight that there was trouble in paradise.
At the event, Richards and Phypers got candid about their youngest daughter’s health.
Eloise was diagnosed with chromosome 8 in 2016, which has caused developmental delays for the teen. Nevertheless, she is thriving.
“She’s doing amazing,” the former “RHOBH” star said. “She really is. We are very fortunate that we’re able to provide that for her, but she’s turning 14 and there are a lot of challenges.”
Richards told The Post that Eloise has taught the now-former pair several things.
“Patience,” the mom of three noted. “She is an angel, and just the littlest things make her so happy. [It’s taught us] to enjoy the small things and enjoy the smaller things in life.”
Phypers noted, “She’s so special.”
The two also teased that Phypers would make a great James Bond for the franchise.
The businessman told The Post, “I would do it,” to which Richards replied, “He would be an amazing Bond.”
Phypers added: “I could do it. No problem.”
Earlier this year, their half-hour reality series, “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things,” debuted on Bravo.
She revealed that the cast, which also included Sheen’s ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, and their 16-year-old twins, Bob and Max, filmed more than what viewers saw.
“We filmed so much footage you can put into an episode,” she said. “I’m glad people want more instead of being like, ‘When is this thing over?’ So I’m glad that people seem to really like the show, and we’re very blessed, and hopefully we will be back for another season.”
During Season 1, fans got an in-depth look into Richards’ marriage. She and Phypers presented as a united front as they dealt with their children, relatives and relationship.
On the premiere episode, Richards opened up about her romance with her husband.
“It’s not easy being married to me,” she said in a confessional, as Phypers responded: “It is not, and she said it! But this is it. I’m done.”
Richards admitted: “Yeah, I’m never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I’m not gonna f–king get divorced.”
“We’ll just have different homes or something,” suggested the motorcycle enthusiast. “But we’re not gonna hate each other.”
In April, Sami opened up about her bond, or lack thereof, with her stepdad.
“We’re not even that close,” she said on the “Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice” podcast. “We don’t ever hang out, we never talk.” However, Sami noted she’s all for his marriage to her mom because “he makes her happy.”
Richards was famously married to Sheen, 59, from 2002 to 2006.
Phypers tied the knot with “Desperate Housewives” actress Nicollette Sheridan in 2015. The two finalized their divorce in 2018.
