Denise Richards And Aaron Phypers Divorce Filing Reveals Spending Details
For context, Denise began dating Aaron in 2017, and they tied the knot a year later. If you're a Bravo fan, you'll have seen plenty of Denise and Aaron's marriage play out on episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or, more recently, on her very own reality show, Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, which premiered earlier this year.
The couple appeared to be thriving together when the show was airing, with Denise saying in the March season premiere that they would 'never get divorced' under any circumstances. 'It's not easy being married to me,' Denise said in a confessional, prompting Aaron to agree, 'It is not.. But this is it. I'm done.' She added, 'Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna fucking get divorced,' to which her husband suggested, 'We'll just have different homes or something.'
Denise shares daughters Sami and Lola with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen. After her 2005 split from Charlie, Denise adopted her now-14-year-old daughter, Eloise, as a single mom. Aaron has been raising Eloise alongside Denise ever since they met and he legally adopted her in 2019.
Well, it appears things have changed, as on Monday, July 7, Aaron filed for divorce from Denise. The documents, which have been obtained by People, show that he cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split and listed their date of separation as Friday, July 4 — just three days prior.
As it stands, Denise has not publicly commented on Aaron's filing. But, in the meantime, the divorce docs reveal a lot of details about the couple's money and how they were allegedly spending it during their marriage.
In the filing, Aaron states that, despite previously being an actor and subsequently finding work in the frequency medicine space, he has 'not made income' since last year when he 'had to close down' his wellness company. Comparatively, Denise was apparently bringing in over $250,000 per month thanks to her TV work, lucrative OnlyFans account, and other brand deals and appearances.
Aaron claimed that he and Denise were spending nearly half of this sum every month, with their monthly expenses apparently totaling around $105,000. Breaking down the details of their spending, Aaron alleged that a large chunk of the money was being spent on food, splashing $15,000 on meals out each month and an additional $10,000 on groceries and household supplies.
On top of this, he claimed that he and his estranged wife were dropping $20,000 on clothes, which was more than the $18,000 they were spending on monthly rent. Other expenses included $15,000 for entertainment, $8,000 for utilities, $7,000 on childcare for Eloise, $5,000 on maintenance and repairs, and $5,000 on laundry and cleaning, as well as $1,500 for cars and transportation and a $500 phone bill.
To conclude, he also alleged that he and Denise were putting no monthly payments towards things like life and accident insurance, investments, savings, or charity donations.
Aaron has asked for spousal support from Denise, and that he be allowed to retain some property that he feels belongs to him, including power tools, a 2018 Indian Dark Horse motorcycle, and a Ford Shelby GT500. As we said, Denise has not responded to the filing yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when she does. BuzzFeed has reached out to her team for comment.

Is Gleb Savchenko on ‘Dancing With the Stars' Season 34?
It turns out Gleb Savchenko may not make his way back to the dance floor for Dancing With the Stars season 34. The pro dancer broke the bad news in a recent TikTok, where he lip syncs over a sound saying, 'I don't know where you got your information from, I don't know who your source is, but I will be the first one to tell you that is incorrect.' 'Your 'source' needs a refund… because that story? 100% fake,' he wrote in his caption. And then, in response to a fan who commented, 'Can't wait to see you on my TV again in September!' Gleb replied, 'Afraid you won't.' Gleb's post comes after the trailer for his ex-girlfriend Brooks Nadar's upcoming reality series, Love Thy Nader, dropped on August 11. The show focuses on the model and her sisters as they make the move from their humble hometown in Louisiana to pursue their dreams in NYC. In the trailer, Brooks recounts her connection with her ex, saying, 'Gleb and I met through Dancing with the Stars. In our family, we say, 'You don't date one Nader sister, you date all of us.'' The model then doubled down on allegations that he cheated on her, adding, 'He's a cheater and I have all that proof.' Gleb's voice can also be heard in the trailer, adding, 'Just sad how people spread lies and rumors to promote their new reality show.' ICYMI, the pro dancer first joined the cast for season 16 in 2013 and went on to compete in seasons 23 through 33, when he was partnered with Sports Illustrated model, Brooks Nader. The pair sparked romance rumors thanks to their on-stage chemistry last season, but their relationship was pretty much confirmed when fan-captured footage caught them kissing backstage in September. From there, the pair ended up in an on-again, off-again relationship that lasted until April 2025. According to People, they split up for good because Brooks suspected that the pro dancer had cheated on her. As for the next season of DWTS, we have yet to see the full cast of stars competing for the famous mirrorball trophy. A few celebs who have confirmed their involvement include social media star and podcaster Alix Earle, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, and the son of wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin, Robert Irwin.

Angelina Jolie Is Prepping Her Historic Home for Sale amid Plans to Leave L.A. and Move Abroad (Exclusive Source)
The 'Maria' star has been 'eyeing several locations abroad' as she plans to officially let go of her Los Angeles estate, a source tells PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Angelina Jolie is preparing to sell her historic L.A. home amid her plans to move abroad, a source tells PEOPLE The Academy Award winner is planning to make some minor improvements to her famous Cecil B. DeMille Estate before selling the property She first purchased the home in 2017 and has still been living there 'because of the custody arrangement' with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, the source addsAngelina Jolie is ready to part ways with her historic Los Angeles home. The Maria star, 50, is officially planning to 'put the house up for sale' as she explores a move abroad, a source tells PEOPLE. Page Six was the first to report the news. Jolie 'never wanted to live in L.A. full time. She didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad,' continues the source, referring to the star's ex-husband Brad Pitt, 61. The exes — who reached a divorce settlement in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle — share six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17. The source adds that Jolie 'plans to relocate as soon as Knox and Viv turn 18 next year. She's eyeing several locations abroad. She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles." Of Jolie's Los Angeles home, the source notes, 'It's a historic masterpiece and truly such a beautiful estate.' Another insider confirms that the Without Blood writer/director is planning on selling the home after she makes some minor improvements to it. Jolie purchased the historic 1913-build in 2017 for $24.5 million, a source told PEOPLE at the time. The sprawling property boasts six bedrooms and ten bathrooms across 11,000 square feet. Its Hollywood ties make it a one-of-a-kind property, as it was purchased by director Cecil B. DeMille for under $28,000 in 1916, PEOPLE previously reported. Charlie Chaplin also lived in a neighboring house, but after he moved out, DeMille purchased and combined the two estates. Jolie previously opened up about why she's still living in Los Angeles despite her desire to leave, per a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The Academy Award winner, who filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 after two years of marriage, told the outlet at the time that she is currently in the city "because I have to be here from a divorce." However, once her twins turn 18, Jolie said she's ready to live abroad full time as she seeks qualities that Los Angeles can't offer her or her children. "When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety," she said at the time. "I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. After she leaves L.A., she noted, "I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia," which is where she adopted her oldest son Maddox in 2002. She added, "I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.' Jolie previously shared that Cambodia is the one place 'in my heart' that she considers her home during a conversation at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February.

Prince William and Prince Harry Divided by 'Profound Rift': Princess Diana 'Would Have Tried to Act as Peacemaker' (Exclusive)
As the 28th anniversary of Princess Diana's death nears, William and Harry remain estranged but continue to honor their mother through their public workNEED TO KNOW Prince William and Prince Harry continue to honor their late mother, Princess Diana, through much of their public work and philanthropy Their painful feud remains 'profound and long-lasting,' historian Robert Lacey tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story Diana's biographer Andrew Morton calls the rift 'a great loss for the monarchy"On July 16, as the 28th anniversary of his mother Princess Diana's death loomed, Prince Harry took a poignant walk through a minefield in Angola, retracing the brave steps Diana took nearly three decades ago to shine a light on the hidden horrors of war. Just weeks earlier, on what would have been their mother's 64th birthday, July 1, Prince William honored her legacy in Sheffield, England, celebrating the second anniversary of Homewards — his mission to end homelessness, an issue Diana championed and introduced her sons what was once a shared mission to honor their mother now unfolds on separate paths, with no communication between them. 'We all remember the days when Harry and William were joshing with one another, and it all seemed set for their relationship and the future — that Harry, as Diana always used to say, would be William's wingman,' Diana's biographer Andrew Morton tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. 'It's a great loss for the monarchy.' The brothers grew up sharing a royal life and experience only they can understand, weathering their parents' scandalous divorce and enduring the unbearable pain of losing Diana after a car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997, when her sons were 15 and 12. But now they're worlds apart. That separation extends to the next generation. In Windsor, William, 43, and Kate Middleton, 43, are raising Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. Across the Atlantic in Montecito, Calif., Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 44, are raising Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The cousins have not been seen in public together since 2019, before Lilibet was born. Their feud exploded into public view in 2020, when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their royal duties. "Things were said that sparked the initial rift, and it's never healed," Morton says. In his memoir Spare, Harry describes a tense 2019 confrontation where William criticized Meghan and, according to Harry, physically grabbed him by the collar, knocking him to the floor. The divide only deepened after the couple's explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, followed by their Netflix docuseries and Harry's bestselling book — each delivering sharp criticism of William, King Charles, 76, Kate, 43, Queen Camilla, 78, and the institution they serve. 'Some members of my family will never forgive me,' Harry admitted in May. While Harry has spoken openly about his hope for reconciliation with his family, insiders say his calls and messages to William have gone unanswered. Says Robert Lacey, author of Battle of Brothers: 'The rift is very profound and very long-lasting. It will not be changed, in my opinion, until Harry makes a move and apologizes.' Adds historian Amanda Foreman: "Everyone wants it to happen on their terms, but that's what makes it impossible." Despite the gulf between them, the royal brothers remain united in one shared vow: to honor their mother's memory. Their inspiration comes from Diana, who redefined royal life — not with pomp, but with genuine compassion. She didn't just infuse their lives with normalcy through visits to amusement parks and burger joints; she also took them to shelters for the unhoused. One was London's The Passage, whose CEO Mick Clarke says William's 'visits with his mom left a deep and lasting impression.' Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! The prince, he adds, has spoken about how Diana 'made it very pointed that he was exposed to life beyond palace walls. That is something that he and the princess are doing with their own children.' That grounding in service has shaped William's public life. During the COVID pandemic he made unannounced trips to shelters, helping prepare meals and even delivering food — always without cameras. Harry, meanwhile, found his calling in supporting young people affected by the AIDS epidemic in Lesotho, Southern Africa, where he was deeply moved by the challenges facing vulnerable youth. In 2006 he cofounded Sentebale — meaning 'forget-me-not,' Diana's favorite flower, in the local language —with his friend Prince Seeiso as a tribute to their late mothers. Over the next 19 years, the two poured 'blood, sweat and tears and their own money into building this charity up to what it was — a multimillion-pound charity that delivered nothing but good for the beneficiary community," a friend tells PEOPLE. After a deep dispute over management at Sentebale, devastatingly for Harry, and Seeiso, they have parted ways from the charity, and are seeking new ways to help the disadvantaged of Lesotho and Botswana. Moreover, Tessy Ojo, CEO of the Diana Award — the only charity to bear their mother's name, and one they now support separately — has witnessed the princes' dedication firsthand. 'I've seen how they watch young people who never met their mother articulate the impact she's had on them," she says. "There is a sense of immense pride: 'Wow, my mother did that!'" Despite the emotional and physical distance between them, William and Harry have each created home lives grounded in a shared commitment to providing their children with a genuinely authentic upbringing — 'and that is pure Diana,' says Foreman. Both brothers have also honored their mother by giving their daughters her name as a middle name. They often speak of her to their children, and her photograph is displayed throughout their homes. 'The values they are instilling and discussing as families may be their best success,' Foreman adds. 'They are both very good role models as parents.' There are glimmers of hope for change within the royal family. On July 9, Harry's representatives met with King Charles's head of communications, raising hopes of a first step toward rapprochement — at least with his father. A face-to-face meeting could happen as soon as September, when Harry is expected back in the U.K. to support WellChild, a charity helping children with life-limiting conditions. Whether that reunion will materialize, however, remains uncertain. If it does, it would be the first meeting between father and son since February 2024, shortly after Charles announced he was diagnosed with cancer. William's team, notably, was not involved in these discussions. For the Prince of Wales, priorities lie elsewhere: supporting his wife, who is recovering from cancer treatment, and guiding their young family through pivotal years — with attention to 12-year-old George, his heir. With his focus clear, sources say, William's anger has calcified into indifference about the situation, a friend told The Sunday Times in June. Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith sees this as William accepting limits: 'He can control what he does in his life, but he has no control over what Harry does," she tells PEOPLE. Adds historian Robert Lacey: 'They both deeply believe that they're fighting for profound points of principle.' Though silence now divides them, Diana's influence remains a strong bond that still shapes their every step. 'This is the sadness of it — they aren't supporting each other like they should be,' says a source close to the royal household. 'That's what any mother would want — that they are there for each other.' Adds Morton, whose latest book Winston and the Windsors, is out in October: 'Diana always used to say she had two boys for a reason — the younger would be there to support the older in the lonely task as future King. There is no doubt Diana would have tried to act as a peacemaker between them. If she had been around, they would have worked things out in a different way.' Read the original article on People
