Denise Richards' Husband Aaron Phypers Files for Divorce After 6 Years of Marriage—After Moving His Family Into Actress' Malibu Home
In court documents filed by Phypers, 52, who wed Richards, 54, in 2018 after just one year of dating, he also lifted the lid on their intriguing financials, admitting in the filing that his monthly income is next to nothing, while estimating that his estranged wife rakes in around $250,000 a month from her OnlyFans account and her on-screen work.
According to Fox News, the legal documents also contain intimate information about the duo's spending habits, with Phypers stating that their monthly expenses total around $105,000, much of which is spent on clothing ($20,000), rent ($18,000), restaurants ($15,000), utilities ($8,000) and child care services ($7,000).
The former wellness professional explained that he has not been able to contribute to these monthly costs since October 2024, when he was forced to shut down his Malibu health center, Quantum 360 Club.
In his petition, Phypers requested spousal support from the actress—and asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property, including his power tools, motorcycle, and sports car.
Although the former lovebirds don't share any children, it was previously revealed that Phypers was in the process of adopting his wife's 14-year-old daughter, Eloise; however, it is unclear whether that application was ever completed.
It is also unclear what the former couple's living arrangement will look like after their split—the date of which is listed in the filing as July 4—having already set up a somewhat unique home situation for themselves long before their marriage began to fall apart.
Richards lifted the lid on their unconventional home life during an episode of her reality series, 'Denise Richards and Her Wild Things,' in which she stars alongside Phypers as well as her daughters, Sami, Lola, and Eloise
At the time, she confessed that her current setup was 'a little confusing,' particularly because she owns a Malibu home that she doesn't actually live in—and had instead handed over to her husband's family to use as their own residence.
'My living situation is a little confusing,' she said. 'I don't live in our [Malibu] house. Aaron's mom and dad and his brother … they were going to stay for a few months, [but] it's been over three years.'
Instead, Richards and her family moved into a rented townhouse to get some 'more space.' And such was the appeal of the unit she initially leased that she ended up renting two additional homes.
'I needed some space, so I rented a townhouse,' she said. 'And then I rented another one and another one, so I have three of them.'
She explained that each of the properties served a different purpose, revealing that she and her family were using the abodes almost as though they were rooms in a house.
'One's an office, one's a studio, one's for Lola and Eloise and for us to sleep in, and then when Aaron and I want privacy, then we sleep in the studio,' she said. 'I told Sam and Lola that we can be like 'Melrose Place,' and they're like, 'What's that?''
Although she did not reveal the cost of her multiple rentals, Phypers' divorce disclosures suggest that the duo were spending around $18,000 a month on housing—which would mean that each of the townhouses costs $6,000 to lease.
The duo have not yet shared whether Phypers will continue to live in one of the properties, or if his family will be permitted to stay in Richards' Malibu home in the wake of their split.
Three months before the news of their divorce broke, Richards' eldest daughter, Sami, lifted the lid on the somewhat turbulent environment inside the family's home, confessing in April that she and her mother didn't speak for close to a year after she made the decision to move out of the house and in with her father, Charlie Sheen.
She blamed her move on the 'constant' fighting that was going on at her mother's house, admitting that she 'felt like the odd one out' inside the dwelling.
'I was living at my mom's, obviously, with Aaron [Phypers] and Lola, and we were all fighting constantly. I did not get along with anyone. I kind of felt like the odd one out and being the older sister, the blame was, like, always thrown on me for everything,' she said during an appearance on Gia Giudice's podcast, 'Casual Chaos.'
'I was really struggling mentally in that house, and there's obviously a lot that I wish I could say, but I'll get in trouble for saying [it].'
Sami initially announced her decision to leave Richards' property in a video posted to TikTok, where she referred to her mom's abode as a 'hell house' and claimed she had been 'trapped in an abusive household.'
In response, an unnamed insider told People magazine that Richards had been struggling to come to terms with her daughter's decision. The former 'James Bond' star believed she had simply been setting 'normal' boundaries for her then-17-year-old child.
Richards and Phypers began dating in June 2017, having met for the first time at his wellness center in Malibu, where the actress was undergoing 'preventative DNA repair,' she later revealed.
They quickly struck up a romance and tied the knot in a private ceremony in Malibu just one year later.
Prior to his relationship with Richards, Phypers was briefly married to 'Desperate Housewives' star Nicollette Sheridan. They finalized their divorce in August 2018.
Meanwhile, Richards had a very highly publicized marriage to actor Sheen from 2002 and 2006, and the duo share two children—Sami and Lola.
The actress had previously insisted that she would never get a divorce again while reflecting on her separation from Sheen, admitting that she hated the 'judgement' she faced after their split.
'The judgment from other people and being made out to be this awful woman, I'll never get divorce, even if we hate each other,' she said.

27 Entitled People Who Live By "Me! Me! Me!"
This person decided everyone else should adjust to them. This person let their dog pee on their balcony without any thought of how it would affect their neighbors — in fact, I'm willing to bet neighbors didn't even occur to them. I bet this person didn't even think about others, either. This person messaged someone with an old essay posted online asking if they could steal it, then asked them to delete it from the internet so they wouldn't get caught plagiarizing. Because that's normal and reasonable. This person had the audacity to use someone else's extra parking spot then left a note for the person to park further from them. Movie theater staff aren't people to this person, I guess. This person walked into a restaurant 20 minutes before closing, because the rest of the world should obviously cater to them, and got mad when they were A) charged full price, and B) given an attitude. Like, what did you expect? I swear people lose all sense of decency on airlines. In what world is this okay??? Like, did this woman NEED to use this charger during a six-over red-eye flight? This person tried to take up two spots, and was angry when a car wouldn't let them — because they're the only ones who matter in this world apparently. This car also took two spots, but even worse, they were HANDICAP SPOTS. This person literally wanted people to pay to watch and play with her foster cats, and I am just aghast at the entitlement. I'm Jewish, and I still think it's a bit ridiculous to post in a small mom group expecting to be able to get in contact with Pink to make a major change to her tour. I don't understand the hype over this Starbucks cup, and I can't believe someone would be entitled enough to try to sell the opportunity to take a selfie with the cup they nabbed. I hope this person is trolling. They should restrict who is allowed to buy cones. This real estate investor showed up unannounced at someone's property, then had the audacity to get angry and entitled when he wasn't immediately welcomed in. This person — who was clearly in the wrong — posted a one-star review because they were kicked out of a cafe for bringing in their puppy who peed on the floor. Whoever wrote this letter demanding a house be *less* decorated for Christmas (???) clearly felt everyone else should just acquiesce to their preferences. This person thought they had a right to hike naked at a PUBLIC park. This neighbor decided the hall space was theirs and theirs alone. This person wasn't pleased with people supporting them by subscribing to their OnlyFans — they wanted cold hard money instead. This writer decided to make a school shooting about their fictional book. Like, yeah, banning books is bad, but it takes a lot of vanity to think your book alone would've stopped a school shooter, and it's also coming off a bit like an ad for the book. This person was entitled enough to believe they deserved a 'cause. This person decided to make a road to a popular hiking trail super hard to drive down — even impossible, depending on your car — all because they didn't feel like parking properly. And finally, I gotta end on this one, even though it's a *bit* over a month old, because I am still flabbergasted by it. What "main character behavior" have you experienced over the last month? Let us know in the comments.
