Denise Richards’ husband, Aaron Phypers, filed for divorce on July 7, 2025, after six years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who married in 2018, quietly separated just days earlier on July 4.
Aaron requested spousal support, stating he’s been jobless since closing his wellness business in 2024. He claimed Denise earns over $250,000 monthly and detailed their $105,000 monthly lifestyle—including $20,000 on clothes and $15,000 on dining. Critics slammed him online, with one saying, “Be a man, not a mooch.”

Meanwhile, Denise faces conflict between her daughters Sami and Lola Sheen. Sami publicly criticized Lola’s religious views and alleged anti-LGBTQ+ stance in a viral TikTok, calling her sister’s behavior “disgusting” and “close-minded.”
Despite the turmoil, Denise and her daughters are returning to TV in Denise Richards and the Wild Things, airing on E! in 2025. Denise says their lives are “fun, full of love, and unpredictable,” and she’s excited to share it all once again.
