Our insider says the popular ’90s actress is currently “being tested” for the Bravo reality series and “the only new person” in possible talks to join the cast. “They’re hoping for a casting similar to Lisa Rinna‘s,” the source explains. “Someone who’s already famous with an interesting [and] unusual family life.”
Richards, 47, is the proud mom to daughters Sam, 14, Lola, 13, and Eloise, 7, the two oldest of which she shares with ex-husband Charlie Sheen. In 2011, she adopted her youngest.
The could-be Bravolebrity is currently in a relationship with Aaron Phypers, who was previously married to actress Nicolette Sheridan.
Richards has long expressed interest in signing up for RHOBH, telling Us Weekly of the possibility in 2011, “Heck yeah I would! It’s one of my favorite shows.”
The Wild Things actress previously starred on her own reality TV series, E!’s Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.
E! News has reached out to Richards’ rep for comment. A Bravo spokesperson told E! News the network could not confirm at this time.
