Watch: Denise Richards’ Income Revealed Amid Aaron Phypers Divorce

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers’ breakup is pulling back the curtain on their finances.

After the Wild Things star’s husband of six years filed for divorce on July 7, court documents obtained by E! News revealed how much money she makes as an actress and model.

As stated in the legal paperwork submitted in Los Angeles, Denise’s average monthly income amounts to $250,000 while her monthly expenses—including rent, bills, childcare, groceries and more—add up to approximately $105,000.

Meanwhile, the entrepreneur—who shares adopted daughter Eloise, 14, with the Starship Troopers actress—stated, per the documents, that he has not made any income since closing down his business last year.

As for why the two—who tied the knot in 2018—are calling it quits? Well, Aaron listed the reason for their split as “irreconcilable differences,” noting that their date of separation was July 4. He has also asked the court to award him spousal support in the divorce.

E! News has reached out to Denise, who has yet to publicly address Aaron’s divorce filing.

It was only three months ago that Denise’s eldest daughter Sami Sheen—who she shares with ex Charlie Sheen along with daughter Lola Sheen, 20—hinted that their blended family didn’t have the best relationship.

“We’re not even that close,” the 21-year-old said during an April episode of the Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice podcast. “We don’t ever hang out, we never talk.”

However, Sami remained supportive of her mom’s relationship because, as she put it, “he makes her happy.”

For her part, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum gushed about her and Aaron’s sweet relationship just one month prior.

“We like being with each other,” Denise told Bravo’s The Daily Dish in March. “He’s my best friend, too, and we just really enjoy each other’s company.”

And though she shared a glimpse into how she navigates the complexities of a blended family in the Bravo show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the 54-year-old went on to emphasize that quality time is truly the key to a good relationship.

“I tell every couple, especially with kids,” she explained, “if you could just do one night, at least a month, where you have a staycation where you can shut down and be with just each other, I think that helps so much with marriages or couples who have children.” 

“It’s just nice to have that time with each other and romance and reconnect,” she added. “That’s something that we’ve always been really good at doing.”
