Months after giving birth to daughter Sam Sheen, RHOBH's Denise Richards posed for Playboy in 2004. Years later, she told her about the shoot after Sam and sister Lola found out about it on their own.

“They heard that I was in Playboy. I didn’t even think that they would know what that is … [but] now kids can go on the Internet and see all kinds of things," Richards said on a 2019 episode of the Daddy Issues podcast. "They don't Google [me]. I don't think they want to know certain things, either, so they've heard bits and pieces. I'm honest with them."

"I really wanted to do it for me," Beauvais told Chris Yandek in 2007, the year she did the magazine's cover. "I think as you get older you're more comfortable in your skin. Definitely the hang-ups are a lot less than they were when I was in my 20s."
