Why Denise Richards Was "Proud" of Her Daughters Amid "Big Decision" as a Family

Denise Richards is certainly not a novice when it comes to putting herself out there on reality TV. Years before she popped up on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she appeared on her own E! reality show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated. Soon, she'll be back on E! and, yes, she's bringing her family along and allowing viewers into a life as a busy mom, wife, and actress. 

It was announced back in June that Denise Richards and the Wild Things (working title) will be a "a half-hour comedic docuseries starring and executive produced by Denise Richards." Now, we're getting some new intel from Denise about the experience of working side by side with her daughters: Sami, 20; Lola, 19; and Eloise, 13, as they navigate their lives today. She spilled all when appearing on a recent episode of Tori Spelling's misSPELLING podcast, according to PEOPLE.

Noting that she's “excited" about this "fun and great opportunity” for her kids, Denise shared that there were some family meetings as they headed into this endeavor, dubbing it a “big decision.” 

“I was very proud of the girls that they were asking so many questions that they really wanted to be involved in now," she said, adding that the series will give the family the chance to “open up [their] lives.”

Denise Richards Teases Her Daughters' Roles on Denise Richards and the Wild Things 

As fans will recall, Denise's older daughters made appearances in her prior E! series. She shares them with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen. She later adopted Eloise in 2011 following their divorce. She is currently married to Aaron Phypers, whom she wed in 2018. And now, Denise is ready to reveal what her family's life is like today on her new series.

“My family and I are thrilled to return home to E! Sami and Lola were just 3 and 4 years old when we first shared our story and now we’ve come full circle,” Denise said in a statement back in June. “Alex Baskin and I met when I joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I loved doing that show. This is the perfect partnership for our family’s series as our lives are full of fun, love and unpredictability, and we can’t wait for the audience to share this adventure with us.”  

(Of course, Alex has deep ties to the Bravo world and will also serve as one of the executive producers on Denise's new E! series.)

As previously reported, the show will premiere in 2025.
