Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers appear to be closing the door on their six-year marriage.
On July 7, Aaron filed for divorce from the Wild Things actress in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by E! News. He listed their separation date as July 4—Independence Day—and is requesting spousal support as part of the proceedings.
E! News reached out to both Denise and Aaron for comment but has not received a response. The news was first reported by TMZ.
The divorce filing follows months of speculation about tension within the family. Back in April, Denise’s 21-year-old daughter Sami Sheen—whom she shares with ex-husband Charlie Sheen—spoke candidly about her distant relationship with Aaron on the Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice podcast.
“We’re not even that close,” she admitted. “We don’t ever hang out, we never talk.” Still, she acknowledged, “He makes [my mom] happy, so I support it.”
