Denise Richards is in her marriage for the long haul.

On the premiere of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the actress, 54, met up with her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate Camille Grammer. As the two drove around L.A., they reminisced on their intertwined past.

“Camille Grammer and I, we first met over twenty years ago,” Denise told cameras. “She was married to her ex, Kelsey [Grammer], and I was married to Charlie [Sheen]. At the time, her husband and Charlie, they would always be up against each other at every single award show because Frazier and Two and a Half Men were on at the same time."

“So we have the exes and the Housewives together,” she added.

When Camille reflected on her 14-year marriage to the Emmy-winning actor, which ended in 2011, she said, “I felt like my whole world fell apart.” Denise, who was married to Sheen from 2002 until 2006 (the pair also share daughters Sami and Lola), noted that she understood exactly what Camille went through.

“The judgment from other people and being made out to be this awful woman,” Denise noted of public breakups.

“We get tossed to the curb,” Camille noted and Denise then declared: “I'll never get divorce, even if we hate each other.”

In 2018, Denise and her current husband Aaron Phypers tied the knot in a last-minute ceremony. In her confessional, they both agreed that splitting up is not in their future.

“It's not easy being married to me,” she acknowledged, to which Aaron replied, “It is not, and she said it!”

“But this is it. I'm done,” he continued.

“Yeah, I’m never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f---ing get divorced,” Denise reiterated. 

“No, we’ll just have different homes or something,” Aaron explained. “But we’re not gonna hate each other.”

“We have enough homes, but yes, I agree,” Denise said.

Earlier in the episode, she shared a breakdown of her family’s living situation, which includes a total of four homes and is admittedly “a little confusing.”

“I don't live in our house,” she revealed. “Aaron's mom and dad and his brother, they were gonna stay for a few months; It's been over three years.”

“I needed some space, so I rented a townhouse, and then I rented another one and another one,” she explained. “So I have three of them. One's an office, one's a studio, one's for Lola and Eloise and for us to sleep in. And then when Aaron and I want privacy, then we sleep in the studio. So, we're all over the place.”
