Dennis Richards’ estranged spouse, Aaron Phippers, has already taken off his wedding ring just days after initiating divorce proceedings from the actress.
The 52-year-old Healing Center founder was spotted running errands in Los Angeles on Thursday, dressed casually in a black T-shirt and torn jeans, appearing relatively calm.
During his outing, Phypers, who is reportedly looking for financial support from Richards, made a stop at Wells Fargo. He later visited a Verizon store, where he allegedly bought a new iPhone.
This sighting followed news from court documents revealing that Phypers had to shut down the Quantum 360 Club in 2024 as it had reportedly failed to generate income. It seems things are a bit rocky financially for him.
The couple was not seen wearing their wedding rings during their Thursday activities. Phypers, who is said to rely on Richards’ substantial monthly income of $250,000—derived from her fan accounts, TV work, and brand partnerships—faces considerable expenses. Nearly half of that amount goes towards food, clothing, utilities, and other costs, indicating a rather tight financial situation.
It appears that the cost of maintaining their phones will add another $500 a month, putting further pressure on his finances. It’s not entirely clear if he was simply purchasing a new plan at Verizon or something else.
Richards and Phippers ended their marriage earlier this month after nearly seven years. Their nuptials were featured in a September 2018 episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Phypers cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their split, although Richards has yet to make a public comment regarding the situation.
Sources indicated that their relationship has grown “toxic” over time. An insider noted that they had been arguing frequently, suggesting that their conflicts escalated significantly.
Interestingly, Richards’ daughter, Sami Sheen, has expressed her thoughts on the matter. She mentioned on TikTok that she advises her mother to end things with him, expressing strong feelings about how Phippers treats her. It’s a complicated situation for sure.
