Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ tumultuous past appears to be water under the bridge.
The former couple posed together on the red carpet of Netflix’s aka Charlie Sheen premiere in Hollywood on Thursday, September 4.
Sheen, 60, and Richards, 54, who were married between 2002 and 2006, were all smiles as they put on a united front at the TUDUM Theater.
The documentary is set to be a no-holds-barred look at Sheen’s controversies throughout his life, including his marriage to Richards.
Denise Richards is reflecting on her past with ex-husband Charlie Sheen — and her relationship with his and ex-wife Brooke Mueller’s twin sons. Back in 2013, Richards, 54, took in Bob and Max, now 15, when Mueller lost custody due to substance abuse issues. “I’m grateful we were able to help them during that time,” […]
Richards is interviewed in the documentary, which is set to drop on Wednesday September 10, as is another of Sheen’s exes, Brooke Mueller.
Sheen and Richards were no strangers to constant headlines in the past thanks to their rocky personal lives. The pair met onset while filming Good Advice in 2000 before striking up a romance after Richards guest-starred on Sheen’s series, Spin City, a year later.
After falling in love, they tied the knot in June 2002 at a ceremony in Brentwood, California before welcoming their first child, daughter, Sam, who was born in March 2004.
Things got a little messier before the birth of their second child, daughter Lola, who arrived in June 2005. Several months earlier, Richards — who was six months pregnant at the time — filed for divorce from Sheen, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Sheen and Richards ultimately finalized proceedings in 2006, but much of the exes’ animosity towards one another played out publicly during the process and in the aftermath.

In August 2019, Richards spoke about how she turned to reality TV due to the financial impact the divorce had on her.
“Back during the show I did at E! [Denise Richards: It’s Complicated], I had to do that. I had too many legal bills with my ex-husband,” she told the “Daddy Issues” podcast at the time. “He said he wanted to bleed me dry, and he did. Those legal fees add up quite fast.”
Last month, Netflix released a first look at aka Charlie Sheen, in which Sheen spoke to filmmaker Andrew Renzi about his rise to fame, his drug addiction struggles and hitting rock bottom amid all the drama in his personal life.
