The Daily Dish Denise Richards and Her Wild Things

Denise Richards Takes You Inside Being a Mom to Eloise: "Do All My Kids Feel This Way?"

Denise Richards' family, including her youngest daughter, will appear on Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, premiering on Bravo in March.

By Casey Suglia

Denise Richards is such a devoted mom to her youngest daughter, Eloise, who she adopted in 2011. But, time flies: Eloise is now 13 years old.

How to Watch

Watch the series premiere of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things on Tuesday, March 4 at 9/8c on Bravo

Although Eloise has been described by Denise as her "angel," she is also a typical teenage girl who likes to give her mom some sass from time to time. Case in point: Denise previously took to Instagram, where she posted a video of her baking with the help of Eloise back in April 2024. In the video, the mom of three talked through the recipe, as Eloise sat beside her wearing an apron. But the second Denise went out of frame, Eloise Joni Richards looked straight into the camera, moving her hands to indicate that she was talking a lot. She then adorably laughed at her own joke, showing that she was just teasing her mom.

"Thank Goodness for a camera," Denise wrote in the caption of the post. "This was definitely a teachable moment for me. No idea I talk too much. Do all my kids feel this way?"

Bravo fans will soon find out if that's the case when Denise Richards and Her Wild Things premieres on Bravo this March (more on that below).

Denise Richards opens up about adopting her daughter, Eloise

Denise adopted Eloise in 2011 following her divorce from Charlie Sheen (she has two daughters with Charlie, Sami and Lola Sheen). “I adopted [Eloise] when she was born as a single mom,” Denise previously shared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during her time as a cast member on the show. 

Who is Denise Richards' daughter Eloise's father?

Denise raises Eloise along with her current husband, Aaron Phypers. Denise and Aaron married in September 2018 and he has since embraced his role as Eloise stepdad and often posts about his "daughter." In the past, Aaron has said that Eloise is the "best part of the day" and has taken fans inside his sweet relationship with the now teen on his Instagram feed.

Denise Richards opens up about Eloise's rare condition

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers got to know more about Eloise and her rare disorder, Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p, during RHOBH Seasons 9 and 10.

During the RHOBH Season 9 reunion, which aired in July 2019, Denise spoke openly about Eloise's condition and how it affects her. "Eloise has a chromosome disorder. She has a deletion in Chromosome 8, which has caused many delays with her. It's caused a lot with speech, development," she revealed.

"We found out probably two years ago," she said when Eloise was 8 years old at the time. "It was a very difficult thing to diagnose. It was really hard. When I saw what was written on the medical report to get the blood test and all the testing done, it was hard to see it in black and white. It's just hard to see with your kid, you know."

Who is the cast for Denise Richards and Her Wild Things?

Denise, her husband, Aaron Phypers, and her two kids from her previous marriage to Charlie Sheen — Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen — will appear on the show along with Eloise.

When does Denise Richards and Her Wild Things premiere on Bravo?
