Denise Richards Done with Marriage After Bitter Split
15 Oct
Summary
- Richards has declared she will never marry again after her divorce.
- She described her marriage to Aaron Phypers as a business arrangement.
- The actress considers her marriage to Phypers her only life regret.
Actress Denise Richards, 55, has stated unequivocally that she has no intention of ever marrying again. Speaking on "The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show" podcast on Tuesday, October 13, Richards expressed her decision stemmed from her acrimonious split from estranged husband Aaron Phypers, 54.
Richards described her union with Phypers, which began in September 2018, as feeling like a "business arrangement" rather than a genuine marriage. This marks her second divorce, following her separation from actor Charlie Sheen. As of 2026, the divorce proceedings with Phypers, who filed in July 2025 citing irreconcilable differences, are ongoing.
Phypers has denied Richards' allegations of physical and emotional abuse, which led to a restraining order against him, a permanent one being granted in November 2025. Richards revealed that her relationship with Phypers is her single regret in life, stating, "I wish I never set foot into his wellness place ever."
Despite her strong feelings about marriage, Richards expressed a desire to find a partner and fall in love again, aiming to avoid bitterness. She looks forward to the finalization of her divorce from Phypers to move past the painful memories and betrayal she feels.
