Aaron Phypers Files for Divorce from Denise Richards, Despite Her Saying They Would Never Divorce Even If They Hated Each Other

Denise Richards once made it crystal clear that divorce was off the table for her. But just a few months later, her marriage to Aaron Phypers has come to a sudden and definitive end. TMZ broke the news that Aaron had filed for divorce.

In a March episode of her Bravo reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the actress got candid about the challenges in her marriage. “It’s not easy being married to me,” she admitted. Phypers, who was still very much her husband at the time, agreed—though he kept things light-hearted, joking, “But this is it. I’m done.”

Richards, however, didn’t hold back when doubling down on her commitment to stay married. “Yeah, I’m never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I’m not gonna f***ing get divorced,” she declared. Phypers seemed to be on the same page, even suggesting a flexible approach to their relationship if it came to that. “We’re not gonna hate each other,” he insisted. “We could have separate houses if we had to.”

Fast-forward to this week, and things have taken a sharp turn. On Monday, Phypers filed for divorce in a Los Angeles courthouse, officially ending their six-year marriage. In the legal documents, he cited “irreconcilable differences” and listed July 4 as the couple’s date of separation.

According to the filing, Phypers is requesting spousal support and disclosed that their combined monthly expenses total a staggering $105,000.

Richards and Phypers first began dating in 2017 and tied the knot the following year in a Malibu ceremony in September 2018.

After the many times she bragged about how large his "member" was when she was on RHOBH, I wonder if she will miss him or his "member" more.

I think this has something to do with that law suit that's been filed against him. The guy is good looking but not trustworthy at all. He's the kind that's gotten through life because of the way he looks.
