Who Is Aaron Phypers: Denise Richards' Ex Husband?
And what makes the news all the more surprising is that just three months ago, the pair were saying that divorce just isn't an option for them whilst being interviewed for the Bravo reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things .
'It's not easy being married to me,' Richards acknowledged, with Phypers then quipping, 'It is not, and she said it! But this is it. I'm done.'
Richards then added, 'Yeah, I'm never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not going to f**king get divorced.'
'We'll just have different homes or something. But we're not going to hate each other,' Phypers concluded.

Aaron William Cameron as he was born, is a man of many 'talents'.
Originally starting out as a 'healer' (N.B. Now that we've started using quotation marks to describe his endeavours, we're not going to be able to stop), Phypers runs - or maybe that should be used to run, it's not exactly clear but more on that later - a healing centre called Quantum 360.
According to the website Q360 is 'A Holistic Wellness Integrative Medicine Practice' that 'provides personalised health care to individuals in a comprehensive manner, taking into account all of the imbalances in the mind and body and the ways in which these imbalances influence each other'. Super clear and obvious right?
Q360 offers multiple different therapies at its site in Beverley Hills, California including Quantum Therapy (we've read the explanation of what it is and are still super confused), Frequency Specific Biofeedback (there are no details available on the website for what this is) and Cupping Therapy (that we're familiar with).
Unsurprisingly perhaps, Phypers had to turn to alternative sources of income and he's taken on many small acting roles including 'Business Man' in the film The Curiosity of Penny Parker (2009) and Brett in The Leap (2011).
Luckily once he met Richards, his acting career started to take off and he starred alongside her in The Bold and the Beautiful in 2020 as Ridge Forrester Sr.'s body double during love scenes with Richards. He also became a regular alongside Richards in The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills as her boyfriend and then husband.
And it's a good job he joined Richards on TV as in November 2024, a lawsuit was filed against Phypers by Rupert Perry. Perry's late wife Elina Katsioula-Beall – who had been diagnosed with Sarcoma – received 'a stem cell treatment' at Quantum360 that Phypers claimed 'would cure or at least ameliorate the condition'. Beall's condition sadly worsened and her tumours reportedly grew by 25%. Phypers has not responded to the lawsuit but said in court yesterday that the business was forced to close last year. That being said, there's no mention of that on Quantum 360's website.
But it turns out that his paltry acting income just isn't enough because in his recently filed divorce docs, Phypers claimed that he spent $105k a month despite not having an income. The breakdown of his spending was as follows: $18,000 on rent, $5,000 on repairs, $7,000 on childcare, $10,000 on groceries, $15,000 on eating out, $8,000 on utilities, $500 on his cell phone, $5,000 on laundry, $20,000 on clothing and $15,000 on entertainment and $1,500 on auto expenses.
He's also a part of an ongoing debt collection battle after taking out a loan…

Taking everything that we mentioned above into account we're probably looking at a negative number here…
Born 16 September 1972 – making him a Virgo – Phypers is 52 years old.
After meeting when the actress came in for treatment – 'preventative DNA repair' apparently - at Quantum 360, Richards and Phypers began dating in December 2017 and eventually tied the knot the following year in September. There was reportedly only 48 hours between their engagement and their private wedding in Malibu.
Their wedding was featured on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills .
Phypers was previously married to actress Nicollette Sheridan aka Edie Britt from Desperate Housewives , but Sheridan filed for divorce just six months in citing 'irreconcilable differences'.

Bravo star dramatically exits hit reality show after 'horrible experience'
Bravo star Will Kulp has announced his exit from Southern Hospitality, a spin-off of the network's successful reality show Southern Charm. He was a series regular from season one to season three, but was a no-show at the latest reunion this March, leaving his potential return up in the air. Now, he has fired up his Insta Stories to post a statement confirming he will not be joining Southern Hospitality for its upcoming fourth season. However he implied that his fiancée and co-star Emmy Sharrett, whom he announced his engagement to in May, would remain on the program. Over the past two seasons Will, 31, found himself dogged by rumors that he was unfaithful to Emmy, which he has strenuously denied. In his statement announcing his departure from Bravo, he slammed reality TV as a 'horrible experience,' said he was unlikely ever to return to the genre and suggested that the show had included a 'defamatory storyline' about him. has reached out to representatives for Bravo's parent company NBCUniversal for comment. 'The new season has started filming and unsurprisingly I will not be a part of it this year,' Will wrote in his statement. 'I will likely never film a second of reality TV ever again. It has been a horrible experience and a life lesson.' However he shared his gratitude to 'some cast, some production, Andy Cohen and ALL of the crew for the seasons past. You know who you are. Your kindness and professionalism are rare occurrences in the industry.' Will continued: 'Best of luck to the new season. I hope it can be entertaining without a defamatory storyline or the unwanted use of my name, image, and likeness.' He added: 'When it is appropriate, I will talk more about experiences with production and the network which led to this decision.' Suggesting his fiancée will stay on the show, he concluded that he was 'happy to be moving on and I will be cheering Emmy on from the sidelines with the rest of you.' Southern Hospitality revolves around the staff of a Charleston, South Carolina nightclub, where Will worked as a bartender and Emmy as a hostess. Will, now in law school, has spent over a year battling rumors that he has been cheating on Emmy, who stood by him as he repudiated the allegations. During the second season of the show, their co-star Oisin O'Neill alleged that Will entered a bathroom with another woman and kissed her. In his statement announcing his departure, he slammed reality TV as a 'horrible experience' and said he was unlikely ever to return to the genre Will dismissed the claim as 'bulls***,' saying the woman in question was in fact 'romantically involved' with a friend of his. 'First of all, everyone was f***ed up in that apartment,' said Will. 'I was consoling this girl. We were both crying. I'm sure that if you looked at it from a certain angle, you might be like: "They kissed." But I didn't kiss this girl.' Emmy accepted Will's version of events then, but this January, a season three trailer dropped in which he was accused of sleeping with 'multiple people' at law school. In response to the furor around the sneak peek, Emmy insisted that 'Will has 110 percent been faithful to me,' rubbishing the 'narrative' that she was 'so dead set on being a lawyer's wife that I don't care if Will cheats on me.' She maintained that she 'would dump Will in two seconds if he cheated on me, gone goodbye. I will not be disrespected,' she told Us Weekly. Meanwhile, also on season three, his castmates TJ Dinch and Bradley Carter accused Will of 'talking s***' about Emmy behind her back. In a confessional, they claimed Will had called Emmy unambitious, slated her for caring only 'about herself' and questioned the future of the relationship. When confronted on the subject, Will defended making disparaging remarks about Emmy, arguing that he was 'just venting' and that 'it was more like I was feeling self-conscious that I wasn't being the boyfriend that I needed to be.' He and Emmy then closed ranks, blaming TJ for having 'humiliated' them by bringing up their private tensions in front of reality show cameras. 'I don't know why any of this is all my fault,' TJ retorted in a confessional. 'Will said these horrible things about his girlfriend, not me.' After being raked over the coals on social media through season three, Will declined to appear onscreen during the reunion this March. Host Andy Cohen revealed that Will had in fact arrived to the set of the reunion with Emmy, but decided at the 'last minute' that he would not himself go on air. 'I think right now for Will, you know,' Emmy explained slowly: 'he's here to support me, he loves me, but I just don't think that he can continue to entertain and engage with this group any longer to this capacity.' When Andy asked outright if he was 'quitting the show,' she replied: 'He actually hasn't said that, funny enough, but he just has said that he can't do this reunion.' Two months later, Emmy and Will joyously announced that they had gotten engaged after he proposed to her in the South of France.

Peacock hikes prices by 40%
Love Island fans: your favorite TV show is about to get more expensive. NBCUniversal, the corporate media conglomerate that operates Peacock, said it is raising prices for new subscribers, starting Wednesday, July 23. Peacock users that have an ad-tier subscription will remain locked into their $7.99 a month price if they purchase the account before the change. But in five days, new subscribers will pay $10.99 for the ad-tier, a nearly 40 percent increase. The premium plus plan will now be priced at $16.99 per month. The company will also pilot a 'Select' tier that will maintain a $7.99 monthly price, but limit customers to next-day NBC and Bravo entertainment content, like Housewives and SNL . But the lower-cost tier won't give users access to popular programs like Sunday Night Football, The Traitors, or Love Island. Peacock's decision comes a year after the service raised its prices $2. In July 2024, it bumped monthly subscriptions from at least $5.99 to a starting price of $7.99. Almost every streaming app has increased prices in the past year and change. In January, Netflix raised prices for its ad tier subscription to $7.99. Paramount Plus did the same last June. Max, Hulu, and Disney+ all hiked their prices to $9.99, while Prime Video costs $8.99 a month. But, as of Wednesday, Peacock's ad-running model is the most expensive of the pack. A spokesperson for NBCUniversal didn't immediately respond to request for comment. For years, the streaming companies have paid top dollar for gold-standard content. Shows have blown through hundred-million-dollar budgets: HBO paid a reported $20 million for each episode of House of the Dragon, while Amazon Prime spent over $50 million on each episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. At the same time, services tried to entice subscribers with bargain basement rates. Most apps charged between $5 and $7 a month during the first few years of service. But the bill for the expensive show production seems to be coming due for most customers. On Reddit threads, viewers are growing anxious over the pricing changes. 'Streaming isn't worth it anymore,' one angry customer said in response to Peacock's hike. 'Embrace piracy or digital and physical copies.' Pictured: Donna Langley, the chairman of NBCUniversal entertainment. It comes after an expert predicted shoppers will soon also see a $20 spike in Amazon Prime memberships. JPMorgan analyst Douglas Anmuth said that Amazon customers may need to pay $159 instead of the usual $139 annually for a Prime membership starting next year. 'A $20 U.S. Prime price increase is seen driving about $3 billion in incremental annualized net sales,' according to a note via TheStreet.

Fury as Netflix rival hikes prices by 40%... making it more expensive than other streamers

'A $20 U.S. Prime price increase is seen driving about $3 billion in incremental annualized net sales,' according to a note via TheStreet. The numbers come from Anmuth's estimated value of a Prime subscription, which came out to $1,430 per year. According to the analyst, the new total was a 6 percent jump compared to last year's price tag and more than double the value compared to the 2016 membership cost. The prediction is also based on Amazon's pattern of raising prices on significant features every four years.
