Denise Richards and husband Aaron Phypers steal a kiss in Malibu ahead of their fifth wedding anniversary

Denise Richards was spotted indulging in a public display of affection with her husband Aaron Phypers this week.

The couple stole a kiss this Thursday – one day before their fifth wedding anniversary – in the parking lot of the Malibu steakhouse Lucky’s.

Aaron, 50, who was previously married to Nicollette Sheridan, has been helping Denise bring up her 12-year-old daughter Eloise.

He cut a dashing figure during his latest outing, draping his toned torso in a flattering grey t-shirt with an unbuttoned navy shirt thrown on top.

Meanwhile, Denise emphasized her taut physique in a clinging black t-shirt, which she clashed elegantly against a pair of olive green trousers.

Letting her mane of caramel hair tumble freely over her shoulders, the erstwhile Bond girl warded off the rays with a pair of black shades. 

Denise, who adopted Eloise in 2011 when she was single, also has two older daughters called Sami, 19, and Lola, 18, by her first husband Charlie Sheen. 

A few months ago Denise gushed about her youngest child in an Instagram post to celebrate the little girl’s latest birthday.

‘Our beautiful Eloise… happy birthday!!!! I can’t believe you’re 12!’ Denise proudly gushed over a picture of her daughter.

‘We love you so much. You’re an angel & teach us so much. We love you so much. Happy Birthday girlie!!!!’ she effervesced.

A few years ago Denise revealed that Eloise was suffering from a rare chromosomal disorder that ‘has caused a lot of developmental delays for her.’

Denise told People that Eloise ‘wasn’t able to sit up on her own for a very long time, and she didn’t start walking until she was two, and that was with physical therapy.’ 

Eloise specifically has Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p, a disorder that means part of her eighth chromosome is missing.

All in the family: Denise’s daughter Sami Sheen, 19, whom she shares with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, has joined OnlyFans – and Denise has followed in her footsteps

‘She can only say a handful of words,’ Denise said in 2019. ‘I don’t know if [Eloise] is ever going to talk like a typical child.’

She declared to People magazine: ‘Every child is different. You take care of your children no matter what is going on with them.’

As far as her other children are concerned, Sami has been hitting the headlines for joining OnlyFans and controversially calling herself a ‘sex worker.’

Although Charlie has publicly objected to Sami’s decision, Denise has supported her to the point of launching an OnlyFans page of her own. 

Sami referred to herself as a ‘sex worker’ on TikTok this June while announcing that she was planning to get breast implants. 

‘I know you’re probably thinking: “How the hell are you a sex worker if you keep these censored?”‘ she said, indicating her bosom. ‘I just want to wait until the girls are done so I’m fully confident with everything I’m showing.’
