Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, ditches wedding ring in first sighting since filing for divorce

Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, has already taken off his wedding ring just days after filing for divorce from the Hollywood actress.

The healing center founder, 52, was photographed running errands in Los Angeles Thursday.

He was spotted wearing a black T-shirt, ripped jeans and sneakers, and had a somber look on his face.

Phypers, who is seeking spousal support from Richards, stopped by Wells Fargo during the outing.

He then made his way to the Verizon store, where he reportedly purchased a new iPhone.

The sightings comes just after it was revealed via court docs Page Six obtained that Phypers has “not made income since” he had to close down his Quantum 360 Club in 2024.

He has reportedly been relying on Richards’ monthly income of $250,000, which she makes via earnings from her OnlyFans account, TV appearances and brand deals.

However, close to half of that money, $105,000 a month, goes to food, laundry, clothes, utilities, maintenance and repairs, and other expenses, per Phypers’ filing.

The documents also stated that the exes’ phone bill cost $500 a month. It’s unclear whether Phypers was at Verizon Thursday to get on a different phone plan than his estranged wife given their split.

The former couple called it quits earlier this month after almost seven years of marriage. They tied the knot in September 2018 in a beachfront wedding that aired on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Phypers cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage. Richards has not yet issued a statement on the split.

A source claimed to the Daily Mail, however, on Friday that the pair’s relationship had gotten “toxic.”

“All they were doing was fighting,” the insider alleged. “They have been having trouble for some time, but they had a row over the weekend where they basically were like, ‘F–k you,’ and he marched off to file for divorce.”

Richards’ daughter Sami Sheen — whom the “Wild Things” star shares with ex-husband Charlie Sheen — cryptically spoke about what she would tell her mother if she was in a bad relationship.

She said via TikTok, “I would tell her to break up with him, I would tell her to block him, move on, he’s a piece of s–t, he treats her like s–t, and that works for me.”
