Denise Richards' Husband Files for Divorce After Supporting Her OnlyFans Career

In a twist that’s left fans stunned, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards is facing a dramatic life shift as her husband of six years, Aaron Phypers, has officially filed for divorce. The couple, once seen as deeply in sync—especially after their public collaboration on Richards’ OnlyFans venture—has called it quits, with Phypers now seeking spousal support and claiming zero income.

From Passionate Partners to Legal Opponents

Aaron Phypers filed the divorce papers on July 8, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences as the primary reason for the split. The court documents, obtained by Fox News Digital, list July 4 as their official date of separation. Interestingly, this comes just months after Denise praised Aaron for helping manage and curate her OnlyFans account, where she claims to be among the top 1% of creators.

The couple tied the knot in 2018 and, while they have no biological children together, Denise has three daughters from previous relationships. She shares Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and adopted Eloise, 13, as a single mother in 2011.

A Public Love Story Turned Content Collaboration

Their marriage wasn’t just private—it was part of the content. The duo gave fans a front-row seat to their relationship through Denise's reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. But it was their OnlyFans partnership that truly drew headlines. During a March 2025 episode, Denise revealed that Aaron was instrumental behind the scenes, helping her select which risqué photos would resonate with subscribers.

“He knows what men love, and he'll go through all the photos and say, ‘This is good. Do this. This is what guys like,’” Denise shared.

It painted a picture of a supportive and savvy relationship—one that was not only personally fulfilling but also financially lucrative. Richards, now 53, spoke proudly of her empowered role on the platform, even citing her age as a reason she felt especially grateful for the attention and income she’s received.

“I was very concerned that I could lose jobs, but the opposite happened. I got more offers,” she said, even landing more roles portraying the sexy, glamorous woman Hollywood still wants her to be.

So, What Went Wrong?

The answer may lie in the court documents.

Aaron Phypers, 51, claims he has had no income for the past 12 months after closing his business. Meanwhile, he estimates that Denise earns over $250,000 per month from her OnlyFans page, reality shows, and brand endorsements. The couple allegedly spends around $105,000 per month, with some eyebrow-raising figures:

• $20,000 on clothes

• $18,000 on rent

• $10,000 on groceries

• $15,000 on dining out

• $15,000 on entertainment

These lifestyle choices may have worked when they were operating as a team—but with Aaron no longer contributing financially, the balance appears to have tipped.

Seeking Spousal Support: Justified or Opportunistic?

Phypers’ request for spousal support has already sparked debates online. Many wonder if it’s fair for him to seek financial help from Richards when he was once a creative partner in her OnlyFans success. Others argue that spousal support is a legal right when there’s such a glaring income disparity—and that regardless of platform or content, Denise’s earnings are substantial.

Still, the timing has raised eyebrows. Richards’ OnlyFans content is still a hot topic, with some accusing Aaron of "cashing out" now that the financial rewards have become more obvious and public.

Silence from Denise’s Camp

As of now, Denise Richards has not made a public comment about the divorce filing. Her representative did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for a statement, and her social media accounts remain focused on brand partnerships and family snapshots.

But fans are expecting a response—especially given how open Denise has been about her personal life in the past. Whether through an interview, a post, or an upcoming reality show episode, it’s only a matter of time before the star addresses the breakup.

A Look Ahead

This divorce isn’t just a celebrity split—it’s a microcosm of modern relationships in the digital age. Denise and Aaron weren’t just husband and wife; they were content collaborators, business partners, and public personas. Now, with the partnership dissolved, the financial and emotional fallout is playing out on a much bigger stage.

The OnlyFans angle adds a layer of complexity rarely seen in celebrity divorces. Denise’s empowerment, success, and career rebirth are undoubtedly valid, but it opens the door to questions about gender roles, financial dependency, and public judgment.

One thing is certain: Denise Richards is not new to reinvention. Whether through reality TV, motherhood, or now navigating a high-profile divorce, she’s proven time and again that she can take control of her narrative—and this chapter will likely be no different.
