Actress and model Denise Richards is going through a divorce as her husband, Aaron Phypers, has officially filed to end their marriage. The couple had been married for nearly six years. Court documents filed in Los Angeles show that Phypers submitted the divorce petition recently, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation.
The news comes not long after Richards made headlines by revealing that her husband was actively involved in managing her OnlyFans account. The revelation drew significant public interest, as it’s unusual for a celebrity to share such behind-the-scenes involvement from their spouse in adult content ventures. While it’s unclear if this played a direct role in the split, it certainly added to the public attention around their relationship.
Phypers is not asking for spousal support, according to the court filings. There’s also no mention of children or custody matters in the documents, as the two do not have any children together. Richards has two daughters from her previous marriage to actor Charlie Sheen and a third adopted daughter.
Despite their high-profile status, the couple has remained largely quiet about their personal issues. However, recent signs, such as fewer public appearances together and a lack of social media interaction, had already sparked rumors about trouble in the relationship.
The Role of OnlyFans in Their Split
In a recent interview earlier this year, Richards shared that her husband helped her manage her OnlyFans page. She explained that he supported her decision to join the platform and even assisted with technical and creative aspects. The pair had previously said that they treated her page as a team project, adding a layer of partnership to their marriage.
OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform known for adult content, has become increasingly popular among celebrities in recent years. Richards said she joined to take more control over her image and content. Her openness about Phypers' involvement raised eyebrows and made headlines at the time, with both praise and criticism from the public and fans.
While no direct connection between the OnlyFans collaboration and the divorce has been made publicly, it’s clear the couple’s relationship faced unique pressures. The dynamic of mixing marriage and business, especially in such a highly public and often-criticized space, may have added stress.
Neither Richards nor Phypers has released an official public statement about the divorce yet. However, fans have noticed Richards recently posted a cryptic message online about “rebuilding and moving forward,” which many believe is related to the breakup.
The divorce marks the end of what was once seen as a strong celebrity relationship, one that often made headlines for its unconventional nature and the couple’s willingness to share parts of their personal and professional lives with the public.
