Denise Richards’ divorce from Aaron Phypers is far from over. In fact, it’s barreling into 2026 at full speed. The former estranged spouses are officially being shown the door from their LA residence, marking another dramatic twist in their ongoing divorce saga.
It all comes down to money. And lots of it. Recent reports from Star indicate the couple is tens of thousands of dollars behind on unpaid rent, prompting the landlord to take legal action.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge recently signed the request to vacate, leaving both Richards and Phypers with little choice but to move out. The decision is the latest bump in a road that has been anything but smooth and simple divorce for the reality star and her estranged husband.
The home in question was rented in June 2020. While Denise Richards remained on the lease, she moved out two years ago, leaving Aaron as the main point of contact for rent. Court documents claim that Phypers agreed to cover the rent expenses until he vacated the home.
