‘He hasn’t earned income in over a year’ – Denise Richards’s husband Aaron Phypers files for divorce after nearly 7 years of marriage, demands spousal support and half of her company just months after she vowed they’d ‘never split’ - suong

   

Aaron Phypers has pulled the plug on his nearly seven-year marriage to Denise Richards.

The actor filed for divorce from the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum in Los Angeles on Monday.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, he listed July 4, 2025, as their separation date and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

Phypers, 49, requested that the court grant him spousal support.

The self-employed businessman, who revealed he has not earned income since shutting down his wellness company last year, claims that he and Richards’s monthly expenses total $105,000.

As part of his community and quasi-community property declaration, Phypers requested that he and Richards, 54, divide their Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment company 50/50.

He stated in his petition that he and Richards have no minor children together.

Her reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

 

Phypers was once in the process of adopting the “Wild Things” star’s 13-year-old daughter, Eloise Joni.

“He’s amazing as a Daddy,” Richards gushed during a 2019 interview on “The View,” per People. “He’s amazing with my daughters, and he’s adopting my youngest, so it’s really great.”

The actress initially adopted Eloise in 2011.

Aside from Eloise, Richards also shares two adult daughters — Sami Sheen, 21, and Lola Sheen, 20 — with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, to whom she was married from 2002 to 2006.

Phypers, meanwhile, previously wed “Desperate Housewives” star Nicollette Sheridan in 2015 but called off their marriage a year later.

Richards and Phypers, who tied the knot on Sept. 8, 2018, worked together on several business endeavors, including the TV personality’s OnlyFans account.

During a 2022 interview on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” Richards claimed her now-estranged husband photographed “a lot of [her] content.”

Phypers also made several appearances on “RHOBH” and starred on Richards’s latest series, “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.”

Despite Phypers listing his and Richards’s separation date as the Fourth of July, the latter seemed to be in good spirits that day as she posted a patriotic bikini photo via Instagram. “Red, white, and a little bit ooh la la ,” she captioned the spicy snap.
