Aaron Phypers, husband of actress and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards, filed for divorce on July 7, 2025, after six years of marriage and more than eight years together. In the divorce petition, Phypers cited irreconcilable differences and listed their separation date as July 4. He also requested spousal support. Court documents reveal that Phypers claims to have zero income while incurring nearly $105,000 in monthly expenses, including $25,000 on food and $20,000 on clothing. Denise Richards reportedly earns over $250,000 per month from sources such as her OnlyFans account, television appearances, and brand deals. Despite the divorce filing, Richards had previously insisted she would never divorce Phypers, even if they disliked each other. The couple's separation has also impacted Richards' career, with her Bravo reality show "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things" not returning for a second season following the divorce announcement. Phypers has been publicly seen without his wedding ring since the filing, amid public and media attention surrounding the split.
