Denise Richards’ relationship with Aaron Phypers played out both on and off reality TV. Fans watched them together during her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Aaron became part of the conversation. The couple later continued sharing their lives on Denise Richards and Her Wild Things.
That visibility did not soften what followed. Denise and Aaron split after six years of marriage, and the divorce turned ugly fast. What began as routine paperwork quickly escalated. Court filings became public. Restraining orders and arrests followed.
Now, Aaron is back in court asking for spousal support and explaining why he needs it.
