When someone who is already a huge part of Hollywood joins Bravo's Real Housewives franchise, fans always want to get an inside look at their daily life. When Denise Richards was cast on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, it seemed like a great idea. And for one season, it was. In season 9, Denise married her soulmate Aaron Phypers, and it was nice seeing their relationship. But in season 10, it all changed, and fans couldn't stop asking questions about the scandal featuring Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville.
While this dramatic situation was terrible for Denise to endure, as she even quit the show, she did get the chance to show fans that she's a loving mom and that life with her three daughters is pretty great. Sure, the family has their challenges, but it can be tough raising teenagers. Denise has three daughters, and fans want to learn more about how teens Sami and Lola get along with Denise's adopted daughter Eloise. Let's take a look at whether Eloise Joni Richards is close with Denise's other children.
Does Eloise Joni Richards Get Along With Her Siblings?
When Sami Sheen had a lot of negative things to say about her mom, fans wondered if Denise Richards got along with her kids, and this was a tough situation to read about.
It seems that Eloise, Sami, and Lola have always had a great relationship.
Denise spoke about having family dinners in an interview with People. When Eloise was nine months old and Lola and Sami were 6 and 8, Denise said that the family was close and made sure to eat this meal together. Denise said that Lola and Sami liked to give Eloise food as well.
Denise said, “With my mom, dinner was on the table every night at 6 o’clock, so it was something that I grew up with. I think it’s really important to sit around the table and talk about your day. Eloise is eating solids, so she joins us in her high chair and looks at the bigger girls, and it’s nice.”
Denise talked about Eloise's disorder in an interview with The Local Moms Network and shared that Lola and Sammy had questions about Eloise, but they always had a lot of compassion and love for her.
Denise explained, "Sammy was seven when I adopted her, so they grew up her with her just as I did—it wasn’t as if I adopted her at 7-years-old with a chromosomal disorder and delays. They would always ask me things like ‘When is she going to start talking?’ I explained to them what it is and tell them we don’t know what the outcome is going to be. They love her so much and they don’t know any different."
Denise also shared with People that Lola and Sami have been "protective" of Eloise and they also said that they think that adopting kids would be a great idea when they grow up.

While Denise Richards did get into some fights on RHOBH, she did let cameras into her home quite often, and it was always great seeing Denise with her daughter Eloise.
Denise Richards shared with Parents.com that she and her daughters call Eloise the "animal whisperer" as she has a great connection with their dogs.
Denise also said that she was happy to star in the movie Timecrafters: The Treasure of Pirate's Cove because Eloise was the right age for it: "It's fun for me to do a movie that my youngest daughter can watch, because a lot of the movies I have done in the past she can't—except for the Christmas ones."
It looks like Eloise has been doing very well. Eloise said "dad" in 2020, according to People, and Aaron and Denise were thrilled.
