Denise Richards has been making headlines for her ongoing row with ex-husband Aaron Phypers. The couple was once known for their whirlwind romance and unwavering support, but now it seems the two are at odds, especially over spousal support, which Aaron has alleged Denise has been slacking on. Amid their ongoing dispute, let’s take a look at who Aaron is.
Meet Denise Richards’ ex-husband, Aaron Phypers
Aaron filed for divorce from Denise on July 7, 2025, and the couple has been at odds since. He married the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum in 2018, listed their date of separation as July 4, and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation. While the couple didn’t reveal the cause of their separation, PEOPLE revealed that Denise had accused Aaron of physical assault as she requested a temporary domestic violence restraining order against him.
While Aaron denied ever physically abusing her, it brought him into the spotlight. According to reports, he is an actor-turned-businessman and has often been seen alongside Denise on the reality show. However, that is not the only link he has ever shared with the entertainment industry. He previously married Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan in December 2014. However, they kept both their relationship and their marriage under wraps.
