Denise Richards' husband Aaron Phypers files for divorce after six years of marriage
Aaron filed the paperwork on Monday in Los Angeles, DailyMail.com has learned after seeing court documents.
He noted that the date of separation from the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills veteran was July 4.
The cause for the split was marked 'irreconcilable differences' and Aaron is seeking spousal support from Denise.
The two are starring together on their family reality TV show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things with her daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13.
On the 4th of July Denise posted a sexy swimsuit image on the beach.
The last time she shared an image with Aaron on Instagram was in April. The last time they were on a red carpet together was in May.
The two wed in September 2018 in Malibu.
The wedding ceremony was filmed for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Guests at the wedding included Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell as well as fellow Housewives stars Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer.
She wore a strapless Mark Zunino wedding dress embroidered with flowers as she held a bouquet with white and pink peonies. The bride walked down the aisle to Metallica's Unforgiven. Phypers dressed in dark jeans and a white button-down shirt.
They stood in front of a backdrop composed of pink and hot pink roses.
Phypers and the actress started dating in 2017, and got engaged in January 2018.
The two suffered relationship drama in 2020 when Denise was romantically linked to Brandi Glanville, a fellow cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Glanville claimed the affair took place, even alleging that Phypers was aware and accepting of the situation, but Richards consistently refuted these claims.
Earlier this year Denise opened up about her relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
The actress was on the Whine Down with Jenna Kramer podcast when shared the two former spouses do not communicate much.
The ex-couple, who were married from 2002 to 2006, had their own ideas about how to bring up their girls.
'Truthfully, it wasn't co-parenting,' the actress explained to the One Tree Hill alum. 'I parent my way. He parents his way, and there was no co-parenting.'
Struggling to describe the dynamic with the Two and a Half Men star, 59, she said, 'I have kids with him, and I'm not really — I'm friendly with Charlie, but I wish we were friends,' she said.
The Paper Empire star revealed she also wished 'that we could talk all the time and be able to be there really for each other with our girls. But that's just not the relationship we have.'
'Maybe one day. But, I mean right now, there's nothing. There's no discord between he and I, which is great.'
'I was always an advocate of wanting everything to be great and be friends and blend the family because he had two boys with his wife after me,' The Bold and The Beautiful star maintained, adding, 'I just didn't want the girls to feel like they had to choose sides.'
When the girls were little, Richards said she put up a good front for her children, in spite of their father's struggle with drugs and the law, including charges of domestic assault. 'I never talked bad about him in front of the kids, and that's hard to do — to hold your tongue and not say certain things at times,' the World Is Not Enough actress said.
'I don't know if I did a disservice to them with that as well because now that they're older, they're discovering things that they didn't know.'
The Bookie actor revealed in 2015 that he had been diagnosed with HIV several years before, but thanks to retroviral drugs, the virus is undetectable.
The Mad Families star has been sober since 2017, revealing that being too drunk to drive one of his daughters to an appointment was the final straw for him.
Sheen credits that decision with making him a better father to all of his children.
'I have kids with him, and I'm not really — I'm friendly with Charlie, but I wish we were friends,' Richards said on the Whine Down with Jenna Kramer podcast while promoting their reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things; Pictured in New York City in February
'I have a very consistent lifestyle now. It's all about single dad stuff, and raising my... twin boys Max and Bob,' he said of the now 16-year-olds he shares with ex Brooke Mueller to People in December 2023.
Richards and Sheen have mended their fences enough for Sheen to appear on the latest episode of her reality show, which debuted on Bravo.
The exes are seen getting together for a dinner with their daughters, and Sheen gives advice to Lola about how to deal with fame.
'Don't read anything,' the Emmy nominee advised. 'Don't read anything about it. Because if you don't read it, it doesn't exist.'

Shock jock Howard Stern's show in jeopardy amid cancellation rumors in stunning move that's left staff blindsided
The future of Howard Stern 's 20-year SiriusXM radio show is in jeopardy as the end of his $500million five-year contract looms. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract. Stern's shift from having the most fearsome reputation in American entertainment to being what Kanye West described as an 'irrelevant old man' has been dramatic in recent years and he has faced backlash after admitting he was proudly 'woke'. The insider said: 'He may do a 1-2 year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like this.' A separate source said Stern was considering 'parting ways' with SiriusXM - and that his staff of 'around 95' writers and producers had only recently heard about Stern's indecision over the show's future. They added the star 'will likely sell his catalogue of shows to replay' on uncensored channels Howard 100 and Howard 101. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract - he's pictured with Madonna in 2015 'He is off in the summer but this year has been saying "maybe I should retire"', the source said. It is possible Stern could also return for specials with SiriusXM. The source claimed Stern was also displeased over SiriusXM 'leaning heavily' on fellow radio star Andy Cohen. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Howard Stern, SiriusXM and Andy Cohen for comment and has yet to hear back. In 2023 after hearing claims that he's 'not good anymore' Stern declared: 'By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I'm woke. I'll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep. 'And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I'm for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*****g want.' The radio star's career fell from having 20 million listeners a day to to figures fans believe are as low as 125,000. He has predominately broadcast from his home over the past five years, citing fears over COVID-19. Dubbed the 'King of all Media' - Stern first launched The Howard Stern Show in 1986 on terrestrial radio. Stern decided to take on the challenge of pulling together interviews over the years where he was able to draw out shocking confessions. President Donald Trump has been on the show more than 20 times – calling in or being in the studio because he was willing to say anything. In 1997, he admitted to seeing a lot of women and when asked if he wore a rubber he said he hoped for the best. He also branded daughter Ivanka 'very voluptuous' in an 2006 interview. In 2019 book Howard Stern Comes Again the DJ confessed that his biggest regret is that he never got to apologize to Robin Williams after his interview in the early nineties. 'When Robin came on the show, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me', Stern writes. Stern only realized years later that he needed to apologize – after years of psychotherapy to understand his own narcissism that had prevented him from even considering what someone else might be feeling. Twenty years after the interview, he got up the nerve but it was too late. Robin died before Stern could make that call. 'I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner', he admitted. Kim and Khloe Kardashian came on Stern's show in 2009 and he admitted, 'I didn't understand their talent. I didn't even know if they had one.' So he asked Khloe about dating black men. 'Once you go black, you just never go back,' she said, admitting to only have dated black men. But Kim said Khloe's rule isn't' always true. 'She's only black guys, I'm not'. 'Maybe it's because we have such big a**es, like the black guys like,' Kim said. Both admitted to liking to be spanked, getting their hair pulled and talking dirty in bed. Stern hosted and produced late night television shows, pay-per-view events and home videos, and wrote three books, two of which sold over one million copies. He has become controversial for some comments he made over the years, including saying some of the girls running from the Columbine High School shooting were 'really good looking girls.' 'Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls?' he asked on his show, about the shooters. 'They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex.' In 1992 he also mused that the 'closest I came to making love to a black woman' was when 'I masturbated to a picture of Aunt Jemima on a pancake box,'. In March 1995, when Selena's fans reeled from her shooting he made fun of them, playing gunshots over Selena's music the day before her funeral and mocking Selena's fans with a fake Hispanic accent.
