In a move that has stunned her followers, Hollywood actress Denise Richards has formally initiated divorce proceedings against her husband of five years, Aaron Phypers. The petition was filed in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, marking a definitive end to their marriage.
The court documents, obtained by Daily Mail, reveal that the 53-year-old former Bond girl has cited the standard 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. Notably, Richards is seeking spousal support from Phypers, a television personality and entrepreneur, though the specific amount remains undisclosed.
A Swift and Surprising End
The filing comes just weeks after the couple was last seen together, presenting a united front and sparking speculation that they had overcome their previous difficulties. Their separation appears to have been a swift and decisive turn of events, catching many by surprise.
This marks the third divorce for Richards, who was previously married to actor Charlie Sheen and producer Bruce Jenner. Her relationship with Phypers began in 2017, shortly after her split from Sheen, and they tied the knot in a spontaneous ceremony in Malibu in 2019.
Navigating Past Challenges
The couple's journey has been far from smooth sailing. They have faced intense public scrutiny and navigated numerous challenges throughout their relationship. Despite these obstacles, they often presented a strong and loving image to the world, making this legal filing all the more unexpected for their fans.
As the legal process begins, all eyes will be on the proceedings to see how the former couple amicably resolves the dissolution of their marriage and the division of their assets.
