Denise Richards' husband files for divorce following admission he helps run her OnlyFans account that's boosted her career
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers are divorcing after six years of marriage. The filing, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’, comes just months after the former Bond Girl confessed her now-estranged husband helped her film content for OnlyFans.
On Monday (July 7), 49-year-old Phypers filed for divorce from Richards, 54, at a Los Angeles court. Their split date was officially listed as July 4, as per court documents first obtained by Page Six.
It’s understood that the California native has requested the court grant him spousal support, claiming he has not earned an income since shutting down his wellness business last year.
He has also alleged that his and his ex-wife’s monthly expenses total $105,000.

This includes: $20,000 being spent on clothes, $18,000 on rent, $10,000 on groceries, $8,000 on utilities, $15,000 on eating out, and $15,000 on entertainment, as per Fox News Digital.
Phypers’ filing alleges Richards makes over $250,000 per month from her OnlyFans career, her reality TV show and brand deals. The legislation also requests Richards and Phypers divide their Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment company 50/50, the publication reports.
The pair have no minor children together, the filing reads. This is despite Phypers reportedly being in the process of adopting Richards’ 13-year-old daughter, Eloise Joni, in 2019.
Eloise, who was adopted by the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress in 2011, has two older half-sisters - Sami Sheen, 21, and Lola Rose Sheen, 20.
Richards shares both Sami and Lola with her first husband, Charlie Sheen, 59, whom she was married to between 2002 and 2006.
The divorce filing comes just months after Richards admitted her husband played a key role in her ‘quite lucrative’ OnlyFans career. She made the claim during an episode of her reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, which aired on March 25.
"I will say that I'm in the top 1% of creators on OnlyFans, so I am very grateful," she said, via People.
"It's very empowering, especially for someone my age, that people still want to see me that way."
The mom-of-three claimed Phypers was ‘so supportive’ of her new career venture, adding: “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.'”
Following in daughter Sami’s footsteps, Richards joined OnlyFans in 2022 but was worried it would impact her career going forward. However, the reality TV star claimed posting content online has actually had the opposite effect - she’s now inundated with offers.
“When I joined OnlyFans, I was very concerned that I possibly could lose some jobs, but it was the opposite. I got more offers. I get roles where I'm like, the trophy wife or the sexy one,” she explained.
True to her word, Richards has a plethora of upcoming film and TV projects in the works, according to IMDB.
These include starring alongside Mickey Rourke and the Baldwin brothers, William and Daniel, in A Walking Miracle as well as appearing in the TV series Second Chances and in Kevin Interdonato’s Dirty Hands.
