In a shocking turn of events, Aaron Phypers, 52, has filed for divorce from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards, 54, after six years of marriage. The filing, made on Monday at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles, cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, with the couple’s separation date listed as July 4. The news comes amid financial turmoil for Phypers, who recently shuttered his wellness center following a $228,000 lawsuit and allegations of fraud.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal that Phypers, who married Richards in 2018, is seeking spousal support, claiming he has had no income for the past year since closing his business. In a surprising disclosure, he alleges that Richards earns a staggering $250,000 per month through her OnlyFans account, television appearances, brand deals, and other ventures. The couple’s lavish lifestyle reportedly included monthly expenses of $105,000, with $30,000 spent on dining and entertainment, $20,000 on clothing, $18,000 on rent, $10,000 on groceries, and $8,000 on utilities.
Phypers also requested ownership of specific personal property, including his power tools, a motorcycle, and a prized Ford Shelby GT500. The documents further note that the couple has no minor children together, though Phypers listed Richards’ youngest daughter, Eloise, 14, as his stepdaughter. Richards is also mother to daughters Sami Sheen, 21, and Lola Sheen, 20, from her previous marriage to actor Charlie Sheen, 59. Phypers was previously married to actress Nicollette Sheridan, 61.
On the day of their separation, Richards appeared unfazed, taking to Instagram to share a sultry Fourth of July-themed photo with her fans. Captioned, “Red, white, and a little bit ooh la la,” the post showcased her signature charisma, leaving followers buzzing.
As the divorce proceedings unfold, all eyes are on Richards and Phypers, with fans eager to see how this high-profile split will play out in the public eye.
