Former the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Aaron Phypers has reportedly filed for divorce from Denise Richards this week. He’s been married to the actor for more than six year but they are now said to have separated recently.

Denise, 54 – who played ‘Bond girl’ Christmas Jones in the James Bond film the World Is Not Enough (1999) – began her relationship with Aaron, 52, back in 2017. The couple married the following year, months after their engagement.

Aaron’s now said to have filed for divorce in Los Angeles today, just two months before their seventh wedding anniversary. It’s been reported that he has cited “irreconcilable differences” and lists July 4 as the date of their separation.

TMZ reports that according to court documents, obtained by the outlet, he’s seeking spousal support from Denise and reportedly has no income of his own. It adds that Aaron estimates that his wife is grossing over $250,000 a month – around £185,000 – from OnlyFans, TV, brand deals and appearances.

It’s also reported that in the filing he estimates that they spend $105,000 – around £77,000 – a month on average and that Denise has been covering it. Their monthly spending is said to include $20K on clothes and $15K on eating out, which is around £15,000 and £11,000 respectively.

According to People magazine, which is also said to have seen court documents, Aaron has asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property. The request is said to include his power tools, a motorcycle and a sports car.

Denise, whose acting credits include films like Wild Things (1998), was once married to fellow actor Charlie Sheen. Aaron has himself been married previously, with him the ex-husband of former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan.

Through her first marriage, Denise shares her eldest children Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with her ex-husband Charlie. She’s also a parent to Eloise, 14, whom she adopted after her divorce from the former Two and a Half Men star.

Denise paid tribute to Aaron last year for their sixth wedding anniversary. She wrote on Instagram at the time: “Happy Anniversary babes! You’re my forever and I love you so much. Thank you for always having my back & being the most supportive husband.”

Aaron also marked the occasion in September last year. He wrote: “Happy anniversary to my sweetest love! Thanks for always being there my beautiful wife! Love you!”

Denise and Aaron have appeared together on TV in recent years. It includes on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with Denise having been part of the main cast between 2019 and 2020, though she’s also made guest appearances.

They have more recently featured alongside her children on Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. The reality TV show about the family launched on Bravo earlier this year and the first series, which had eight episodes, concluded in April.
