concealed romantic relationship between reality TV celebrity Rudy Reyes and a Real Housewife, alleged to have taken place amidst husband's obliviousness
In a shocking turn of events, Denise Richards' estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, has publicly accused Rudy Reyes, a Special Forces instructor and co-star of Richards on the show Special Forces: World's Toughest Challenge, of having a six-month affair with Richards.
According to Phypers, he uncovered over 100 explicit messages exchanged between Richards and Reyes, including photos, videos, and evidence of secret meetings starting around February 2025 and continuing through the summer. These secret rendezvous, Phypers claims, were arranged under the pretext of work trips and even involved Reyes being flown to private hotels.
Phypers, 49, filed for divorce from Richards, 54, in June, citing the affair as a major factor. He has since asked for privacy as they navigate personal matters, expressing his feelings of being broken-hearted and tired due to Richards' actions.
The relationship between Reyes and Richards appears to have been private but was exposed due to the divorce conflict. There is no publicly confirmed update that they are officially together or have formalized any relationship beyond the affair claim.
Interestingly, Rudy Reyes split from his gun instructor girlfriend Jade Struck earlier this year, and Denise Richards has been caring for 58 dogs, two pot-bellied pigs, and an 'incontinent' Sphinx cat at her home.
It's worth noting that Denise Richards filed a lawsuit accusing Aaron Phypers of physical and verbal abuse, a claim Phypers vehemently denied. However, the current status of the divorce proceedings and any legal action taken regarding the affair allegations remains unclear.
