Flashback to 2011, when Us Weekly landed an explosive interview with Denise Richards, which would go down in history as one of the most revealing sit-downs ever. Richards, now 53, didn’t hold back as she delved into her experiences with plastic surgery, substance abuse, and encounters with adult entertainers, all before donning her iconic pink jacket on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In the candid conversation, Richards opened up about her tumultuous marriage to Charlie Sheen, detailing how she filed for divorce while six months pregnant. The former couple, who were married from 2002 to 2006, share daughters Sami, 20, and Lola, 19. Richards even gave Us a glimpse into Sheen’s “wildest night ever,” sharing how much their children knew about their parents’ ups and downs.

Fast-forward to the present, and Richards is happily married to Aaron Phypers, who made a memorable impression on the Housewives. The actress is gearing up for her return to TV with a new reality show on NBCU, set to premiere next year, which promises to be “chaotic.”

Meanwhile, in another blast from the past, Jennifer Lopez was living it up in the summer of 2011, shortly after announcing her divorce from Marc Anthony. The former couple, who share 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, finalized their split in 2014. Lopez has since tied the knot with Ben Affleck, but with recent speculation surrounding their relationship, Us can’t help but wonder if history might repeat itself.

In other nostalgic news, Us takes a trip down memory lane to 2011, when Ashley Hebert was saying yes to J.P. Rosenbaum on The Bachelorette. Although their happily-ever-after didn’t quite work out, Hebert has since found love with boyfriend Yanni Georgoulakis. The reality stars, who share two children, finalized their divorce in 2021.
