Aaron Phypers, husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards, has filed for divorce after six years of marriage. Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal the split was filed in Los Angeles on July 8, with the separation date listed as July 4. The filing cites “irreconcilable differences,” and Phypers is seeking spousal support.
The couple currently stars in their Bravo reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, which features Richards’ daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 19 (from her marriage to Charlie Sheen), and her adopted 13-year-old daughter, Eloise. Richards and Phypers were last seen together publicly in May, and her final Instagram post with him dates back to April. On July 4, Richards shared a solo swimsuit photo from the beach.

Co-Parenting Struggles with Charlie Sheen
Richards recently opened up about her strained co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen on the Whine Down with Jenna Kramer podcast. The pair, married from 2002 to 2006, share daughters Sami and Lola. “Truthfully, it wasn’t co-parenting. I parent my way. He parents his way,” Richards admitted. She expressed a desire for a closer friendship with Sheen, stating, “I wish we could talk all the time and be there for each other with our girls.”
Despite Sheen’s past struggles with addiction and legal issues, Richards emphasized shielding their children from negativity. “I never talked bad about him in front of the kids… but now they’re discovering things they didn’t know,” she said. Sheen, now sober since 2017, has focused on parenting his twin sons with ex Brooke Mueller.

Unexpected Reunion on Reality TV
In a surprising turn, Sheen appeared on a recent episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, joining Richards and their daughters for a family dinner. During the episode, he advised Lola on handling fame: “Don’t read anything about it. If you don’t read it, it doesn’t exist.”
Richards, who also stars in The Bold and the Beautiful, has navigated public scrutiny for decades. Despite personal challenges, she remains focused on her children and career. As her divorce unfolds, fans await updates on her next chapter.
