Denise Richards Shares Instagram Tribute for Daughter Eloise’s 15th Birthday

The birthday post underscores Richards’ public worry about long-term care for a child with a rare chromosome 8 deletion.

Overview

  • Richards posted an Instagram Reel on Monday, May 25, featuring a video montage set to a KPop Demon Hunters song and a caption celebrating Eloise’s 15th birthday.
  • In the post Richards reiterated that Eloise was diagnosed in 2016 with a deletion on chromosome 8, a rare condition that has caused developmental and speech delays in her case.
  • Richards wrote that caring for a special-needs child becomes more challenging as the child gets older and said she worries about Eloise’s future and independence.
  • Coverage notes that Aaron Phypers filed for divorce in July 2025 and has claimed in court papers that he signed adoption paperwork for Eloise which Richards allegedly did not file, a point that remains publicly unresolved.
  • The post drew supportive comments from fans and celebrity friends and follows years of Richards’ public advocacy for Eloise while the family continues to plan for long-term care and support.
