Denise Richards’ estranged husband Aaron Phypers was spotted out in Los Angeles on Thursday, days after he filed for divorce.
The 52-year-old entrepreneur was seen in public for the first time following his separation, wearing a black T-shirt, worn-out jeans, and gray sneakers, while noticeably taking off his wedding ring.
According to Page Six, Phypers stopped by a Wells Fargo and Verizon store, where he purchased a new phone.
This week a source told DailyMail that his marriage with the silver screen siren had gotten ‘toxic.’
Amid Denise and Aaron’s breakup, the 54-year-old reality star’s former Real Housewives co-stars Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne tore into Aaron.
In a discussion on the Diamonds in the Rough podcast, Mellencamp highlighted that in a March episode of her now-cancelled reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the mother of three mentioned she doesn’t ‘believe in divorce.’

‘She said… that she would never believe in divorce. There’s no chance that divorce could ever happen. She’s no divorce, no divorce, never have one. And then… he f**king filed on July 4th,’ Teddi said.
Both women admitted that Aaron’s not their ‘favorite person,’ and Housewives viewers previously saw them clash with him on the show.
‘He’s asking her for spousal support,’ Jayne mentioned, while Mellencamp said Aaron wants ‘a lot’ of financial support from Denise.
She stressed, ‘She’s a working mom,’ referencing the Drop Dead Gorgeous stars’ daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 20, and Eloise, 14, and adding, ‘Come on, man. Don’t do this.’
Mellencamp then expressed shock as she discovered that Aaron did not claim Denise’s nonverbal adopted daughter Eloise.
Jayne said she ‘thought he had adopted Eloise,’ while Mellencamp added, ‘They told us he did!’
And both women expressed disdain over Phypers’ claim that he and Denise ‘have no children together,’ despite the fact that Eloise has lived with them since their September 2018 wedding.
‘What a d*ckwad,’ Mellencamp said in disgust as she suggested, ‘It’s because he doesn’t ever wanna have to pay [Denise] anything.’

The exes tied the knot in September 2018, nearly seven years ago
DailyMail’s source shared about the estranged spouses: ‘They have been having trouble for some time, but they had a row over the weekend where they basically were like “f**k you,” and he marched off to file for divorce.’
‘Denise is both devastated and relieved at the same time. She is mentally exhausted from the fighting, and she is glad that’s over,’ the insider said.
It was noted, ‘But she is 100 percent not looking forward to the divorce, because he’s made it clear that he won’t go quietly. And she now has to gear up for a battle, which isn’t what she wants.’
The source added that finances played a part in their issues, adding that the union had a theme of: ‘she earns and he spends.’
