Aaron Phypers filed divorce papers against actress Denise Richards on July 7 following nine years of marriage. The 52-year-old man denies physical abuse allegations made by his 54-year-old estranged wife. Phypers claims Richards destroyed his mobile device after he discovered evidence of her alleged extramarital relationship. He states that Richards broke the phone because it contained inappropriate text messages between her and another man. The couple's marital problems began escalating during early 2024.
Phypers discovered suspicious communications in February while checking Richards' deleted messages. Richards reportedly apologized and promised to end the inappropriate contact after being confronted. The actress failed to invite Phypers to her February 17 birthday celebration. Richards allegedly planned to meet her contact on March 20, one day after Phypers' birthday. Following the initial discovery, Richards granted Phypers access to her personal devices to rebuild trust between them.
