Actress Denise Richards lost faith in true love after her devastating divorce from "Wall Street" actor Charlie Sheen. Their four-year marriage left her with two daughters.

The Bond girl was alone for twelve years and remarried in 2018. Denise Richards' husband, Aaron Phypers, an actor and wellness entrepreneur, helped her to believe in a happily-ever-after again.

, born on February 17, 1971, in Downers Grove, Illinois, first became known for her role in the 1997 sci-fi film "Starship Troopers." Richards starred in several films to critical acclaim and became a Bond girl in the 1999 film, "The World Is Not Enough."

In 2001, Richards guested on the sitcom "Spin City" opposite Charlie Sheen. The two actors had worked together before, but it was on the set of "Spin City" that the sparks flew.

Housewife Brandi Glanville told Teddi Mellencamp and Kim and Kyle Richards that she'd had an affair with Richards.

The couple became engaged on December 26, 2001, and married six months later, on June 15, 2002. Sheen and Richards welcomed their first daughter, Sam, in 2004, and it seemed the actress was living an idyll. But in March 2005, while pregnant with their second daughter Lola, Richards filed for a divorce.

Richards asked for an order of protection after allegedly receiving death threats from the actor, who has admitted to a life-long abuse of alcohol and controlled substances. Sheen was required to stay 300 feet from his wife and daughters, whom he saw only on supervised visits.

Even though the courts initially granted Sheen and Richards joint custody of the two children, in 2010, the "Two and a Half Men" actor surrendered sole custody of the children to Richards due to his sobriety and legal problems.

Richards became a single mom to her two girls, and in 2011, adopted newborn Eloise Joni Richards. The actress, considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, remained resolutely single -- until she met Aaron Phypers in 2017.

Denise Richards' Husband, Aaron Phypers, Has a Very Unusual Job

Aaron Phypers has an acting background, but he first met Richards when she visited his clinic, Q 360 Club, for frequency treatments. Phypers' therapy center offers light and sound treatments for various conditions. According to Richards:

"It's light and sound therapy. How he described what is going on is Ella Fitzgerald sings and breaks glass, right? The frequency breaks that. So frequency can also break down different things going on."

Phypers spoke about the therapy he offers and claimed that NASA incorporated some of the frequency medicine concepts into their state-of-the-art space suits due to the therapy's claim to avoid bone loss and muscle atrophy.

Aaron Was Still Legally Married to Another Actress When He Fell in Love With Denise

When Phypers met "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum, he was still married to "Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan. Phypers and Sheridan met and married in 2015 in a whirlwind romance.

Within six months, Sheridan and Phypers were living apart, and in 2018 they were divorced. Phypers and Richards announced their January 2018 engagement after formalizing the divorce.

The couple held their wedding in September 2018 in Malibu. Richards only gave designer Mark Zunino 24 hours to make her wedding dress, a striking strapless creation of lace overlayed with a multi-layered tulle skirt and train.

Richards' daughters by Sheen, Sam, and Lola, then 14 and 13, respectively, were present to celebrate their mother's wedding, and so was her adoptive daughter Eloise.

Cheating Allegations Against ​​Denise Didn't Affect her Relationship With Aaron

Shortly before the wedding, Richards had announced that she would be joining the cast of "Real Housewives of Beverley Hills," a reality show that would end up bringing allegations of infidelity into her marriage.

On July 22, 2020, fans of RHOBH were stunned when housewife Brandi Glanville told Teddi Mellencamp and Kim and Kyle Richards that she'd had an affair with Richards, effectively accusing her of being unfaithful to Phypers.

Glanville said she'd had a months-long affair with Richards and said the actress was "sexually aggressive" and had an open marriage. Richards denied Glanville's allegations and dismissed the supposed "proof" -- photos of the two kissing.

The accusations did not affect Richard's relationship with Phypers, and the marriage remained solid. Richards, who had called Glanville a liar, made a conciliatory gesture by liking a post on the reality star's Instagram.
