In a surprising turn of events, Aaron Phypers has officially filed for divorce from actress Denise Richards, citing irreconcilable differences. The court documents were submitted in Los Angeles on July 4, 2025, marking the end of nearly seven years of marriage between the couple. Phypers, 49, is also requesting spousal support, stating that he has no current income since shutting down his wellness business last year. According to the legal filing, the couple shares monthly expenses totaling approximately $105,000.
He is also seeking a fair division of their shared business entity, Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment. Unlike many high-profile Hollywood divorces, there are no underage children involved. However, Phypers had been in the process of adopting Richards’ daughter Eloise, whom she adopted independently after her previous marriage to actor Charlie Sheen. Richards also has two adult daughters from that relationship.
This divorce comes as a shock to fans and the entertainment industry alike, especially given Richards’ upbeat appearance on social media during the July 4th weekend. She was seen smiling in multiple posts and did not show any signs of the marital turbulence that was unfolding behind the scenes. The couple first met in 2018 and quickly tied the knot in 2019. While Richards had already built a public persona through her work in film, reality television, and recently OnlyFans, Phypers maintained a more low-profile lifestyle, managing their wellness endeavors.
Despite the split, sources close to the couple indicate that the separation is being handled amicably. Both parties are reportedly committed to resolving the matter with dignity and respect. Still, the financial implications of the divorce—particularly the division of business assets and the request for ongoing support—could lead to complex negotiations.
This development adds yet another chapter to Denise Richards’ public life, which has long been under media scrutiny. Whether this new phase will affect her career or image remains to be seen, but fans continue to show support online. The news underscores the reality that even seemingly stable relationships in the spotlight can face unexpected challenges.
