Denise Richards is saying goodbye to her dear pal and ex-boyfriend, Patrick Muldoon.
As we previously reported, the 57-year-old actor died over the weekend after suffering a heart attack. Those who knew and loved him have been taking to social media to mourn the sudden loss, including Denise. They began dating in 1998 — a year after filming Starship Troopers. They were on-and-off for two years before breaking up for good in 2000.

Despite the breakup, Patrick and Denise remained best friends, which is why she is shattered over this loss. She wrote on Instagram alongside videos and pictures of them together over the years:
“This is so hard for me to put into words. I am deeply heartbroken & devastated losing you. You were my best friend & my family. We met in our first acting class, I was 19 never had an acting job and you were 21 a student at USC doing a recurring role on who’s the boss. And here we are. 36 years later. My whole adult life & I don’t know it without you.”
So sad…
Denise went on to say:
“The friendship, love, support, respect & loyalty we had was unconditional and rare. You lit up every room you walked into. You are larger than life & Everyone was drawn to you. So talented & most underrated actor. And most humble. Everything you did was infectious. Your laugh, your kindness, your wit, your strength, your loyalty, your passion, and your zest for life. We’ve been each other’s rock. Our memories together are endless.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum expressed her gratitude for how much Patrick has “protected” her, especially amid her divorce from Aaron Phypers:
“You’ve had my back and protected me more than anyone. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you here. You’re my voice of reason & pillar of strength. Especially during this last year of pain & heartache. And now I need you more than ever, for this pain and heartache losing you. Schweetbabe we’ve had those conversations.. We thought we’d live forever or at least into our 90’s. Schweetbabe I will be looking for those signs. I need to know you’re still here with me. I love you so much & miss you dearly schweetbabe.”
Our hearts break for Denise! We’re sending her a lot of love amid her mourning! See the tribute HERE.
