Denise Richards’ Wild Quotes About Aaron Phypers Before Their Split

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' split came as a shock to Us — especially when you look at how the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum used to speak about her then-husband and his ... body. On Monday, July 7, Us Weekly reported Phypers filed for divorce from Richards after six years of marriage. He cited “irreconcilable differences” and indicated he wants spousal support from his estranged wife, as well as rights to property that he says belongs to him. Before that news dropped, the actress was known for being vocal about their relationship in a very candid way, opening up about everything from her hunt for a happy ending massage for her spouse (“I wanted him to have one”) to his sizable assets, and fans keep coming back for more.

Oh, f--- yeah,” she said during the RHOBH after show about her remarks about his “big penis” on a 2019 episode. “He was squeezing my knee under the table so hard [that] my kneecap almost popped off.” Richards added, “I got an earful in the car on the way home, ‘cause of his mom.

When celebrity chef Brooke Williamson appeared on a March 2025 episode of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, Richards declared that the cook was Phypers hall pass.

“He has a crush on her, and that’s OK,” Richards said in their confessional.

During a March 2025 episode of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, Phypers asked his wife what she noticed about him first.

“Your penis. I saw it through your f---ing jeans,” she said. “You had me thinking about your penis.”

“I love being married. I love my husband. I know not everyone does,” Richards told Us Weekly exclusively in December 2024. “I don’t understand them. But we like each other, and love being with each other.”

The couple keeps things spicy by planning getaways with each other.

“There’s a lot we can do ourselves, but I can’t do everything on my own and actually it makes me a better parent having the help,” she said on The Rachel Hollis Show in 2020. “In normal circumstances, my husband and I, we take one weekend a month, we go to a hotel, where it’s just us.”

When Phypers objected to Richards' comments about the size of his manhood, his wife theorized that he “secretly” enjoyed it.

“What guy wouldn’t want their woman to talk about the size of their c---?” she said during a May 2019 RHOBH aftershow episode. “He’s hot as balls.”

Denise shocked her costars in a May 2019 episode of RHOBH when she admitted she had hunted down a masseuse who would perform a happy ending on her husband.

“Aaron had never had a happy ending, and we were on the hunt,” she said, adding, “I wanted him to have one.” “

You wanted him to get a massage with a happy ending?” Kyle Richards inquired, to which the Drop Dead Gorgeous star replied, “Yeah. He's the only guy I've ever been with that had never had one. I'm like, you have to try it.”

During a March 2019 episode of RHOBH, Denise sounded off about her wedding day to Phypers, noting that she didn’t care who her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, brought to their nuptials.

“Even if he did bring a prostitute as his date, I wouldn’t care. It’s just, it is what it is,” she said. Denise shares daughters Sami and Lola with Sheen.

Denise revealed her first impression of her man on a March 2019 episode of RHOBH.

"I thought he was cute and I wanted to f--- him," she said. "I just wanted to have sex with him."

“He offers a very good service, aside from his big penis. He has a very big penis,” she said during a March 2019 RHOBH episode.

The reality star later added in the confessional: “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.”

Richards opened up about how she met Phypers on a February 2019 episode of the RHOBH.

'So, I met him at his center doing DNA repair, anti-aging, and that sort of thing,” she explained. “Then, one time we had sex in one of his rooms. We've been inseparable ever since."
