Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers’ Most Memorable ‘RHOBH’ Moments

Denise Richards’ relationship with Aaron Phypers has always been under the spotlight thanks to reality TV.

Weeks before marrying Aaron in a September 2018 wedding, Denise announced she was joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 9.

Although she was only on the Bravo show for two seasons, the reality star was able to document her wedding and love story before saying goodbye to the drama-filled show.

In 2025, however, Denise and Aaron returned to reality TV with a new Bravo project titled Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.

The show documented Denise as she tried to balance being an actress, wife and mother in the public eye.

Before any announcements were made about season 2, Aaron surprised fans when he filed for divorce from Denise in July 2025 after six years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

As the divorce continues to play out, keep reading for a look back on some of the couple’s most memorable RHOBH moments:

First Impressions Matter

In a March 2019 episode of RHOBH, Denise revealed why Aaron grabbed her attention.

“I thought he was cute and I wanted to f*** him,” she said. “I just wanted to have sex with him.”

TMI Alert

When gushing over Aaron, Denise couldn’t help but compliment some of his physical attributes.

“He offers a very good service, aside from his big penis. He has a very big penis,” she said during a March 2019 episode. “I never took a f***ing ruler to it, but he does have a big penis. I’ve seen some penises in my life, and I will say he has the biggest penis I’ve ever been with.”

Although Aaron objected to Denise’s comments about the size of his manhood, she theorized that he “secretly” enjoyed it.

Wedding Day

Cameras rolled as Denise and Aaron exchanged vows and got married in front of costars Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer and Dorit Kemsley.

In the episode, Denise said that she extended an invite to her ex-husband Charlie Sheen as well. (Denise and Charlie share daughters Sami and Lola.)

“Even if he did bring a prostitute as his date, I wouldn’t care,” she said. “It’s just, it is what it is. No matter what’s gone down with Charlie and I, I invite Charlie to anything having to do with the kids and I.”

Candid Confessions

During a May 2019 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Denise shocked her costars when she encouraged her husband to get a “happy ending” massage.

“He’s the only guy I had ever been with that had never had one,” she told the ladies. ”I was like, ‘You have to try it.’”

Aaron’s Feud With the Wives

Tensions rose in a June 2020 episode after Denise admitted that she didn’t want her daughters around her RHOBH castmates after they spoke about threesomes at a previous dinner.

When Teddi asked for clarity, Aaron stepped in.

“I’m sorry. It’s ridiculous,” he said. “Everyone came over to our home, we shared bread with you. All we said, and it’s so simple, our kids, they’re teenagers. Just please know that they’re right there and they can hear you. Know your surroundings. That’s it. So what is the issue here?”
