Who is Denise Richards and why did her husband created her OnlyFans empire and later filed for divorce
Denise Richards' sizzling career move into OnlyFans may have won her a top 1% spot on the platform, but it seems it cost her something far more personal. Just months after the actress revealed how her husband Aaron Phypers played a pivotal role in crafting her wildly successful content, he has filed for divorce after six years of marriage. Denise Richards' OnlyFans empire, with the help from her husband In her recent reality series Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, the 54-year-old actress opened up about the power she feels from being seen as a sex symbol in her fifties. She credited Phypers not only for his emotional support but for being hands-on behind the camera. 'He knows what men love,' Richards said in the show, adding that Phypers curated her content by choosing which photos would best resonate with subscribers. From outfit choices to angles, the now-estranged husband was heavily involved in making her online persona irresistible. Only Pans🍳@BravoTV Divorce talk on TV foreshadowed the real thing But while Richards celebrated newfound confidence and a growing bank account—reportedly raking in $250,000 a month—Phypers, 49, was silently preparing his exit. According to court filings accessed by the LA Times, Phypers officially filed for divorce on July 4, citing irreconcilable differences. The move came not long after he shut down his own business and reported zero income. Denise Richards' family life and past marriages What makes the situation even more eyebrow-raising is that the couple literally laughed off the idea of divorce on the opening episode of their reality series. Richards stated emphatically that she would 'never get divorced again,' even if they grew to hate each other. Phypers joked that if things got bad, they would just 'have different homes,' but still remain married. Turns out, the jokes did not age well. Though the couple never had children together, Richards has two daughters with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and adopted a third as a single mother. Phypers, once married to Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan, had stepped into a blended family—but perhaps not the spotlight that came with Richards' digital resurgence. While Richards may need to find a new content consultant for her OnlyFans shoots, she is not short on attention—or cash. Her subscriber count continues to soar, and the buzz around her divorce might just bring even more eyeballs to her next post.
