It can't be easy for Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen's five children to read about their father's controversies.
Charlie Sheen's career trajectory has always been closely tied to his personal life. When he began playing the main character Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Men in 2003, Sheen had been abusing substances for several years. His many scandals led to him being fired from the hit sitcom and replaced by Ashton Kutcher.
Chuck Lorre regretted firing Charlie Sheen, and the actor's public dismissal is one of the things that he is most known for. He also gets attention thanks to his sometimes dramatic family life. It couldn't have been easy for Charlie Sheen's five children to watch him suffer. Here's the truth about whether the star gets along with his kids now.
Inside Charlie Sheen's Relationship With Twin Sons Bob And Max Sheen Whom He Shares With Brooke Mueller
Charlie Sheen appears to be close with his twin sons Bob and Max Sheen. However, they have had a rough time with both of their parents. While they didn't live with Charlie for a while, they are now with him again for a sad reason.
In December 2023, Charlie Sheen talked about his twins with People and said:
“I’ve mostly been raising my 14-year-old boys. Their mom has been trying to figure some stuff out on her end, so she’s not in the picture too much right now.”
While Charlie has openly dealt with drug addiction, so has his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, which is the reason why his twins are living with him. People reported that Charlie will receive sole custody if Mueller gets a positive alcohol or drug test. As People explained, they made this decision in 2022, and then Mueller reportedly began using substances again in summer 2023.
Charlie Sheen explained to People in December 2023 that his life is all about his boys. While it must not be easy for them to grow up and read stories about their father, they seem to be a close family now. Charlie said, "Now I wake up early, around 4:30 or 5 a.m., get an early jump on the news, work out, answer emails. Then I get the kids up and help them with their morning routine — if you can call it a routine."
Is Charlie Sheen Close To Daughters Lola Rose Sheen And Sami Sheen Whom He Shares With Denise Richards?
Charlie Sheen and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards share two daughters who are in their late teens. While his twin sons didn't always live with him, Charlie seems to have spent a lot of time with Sami Sheen and Lola Rose Sheen.
According to Us Weekly, Sami moved in with Charlie Sheen in 2021 because she and Denise Richards were having trouble getting along. In 2023, People reported that Sami moved back in with her mom. There doesn't seem to be any tension between Sami and her dad now, though.
Lola and Sami don't seem to have given interviews about their famous dad, and fans can only guess what they must be feeling. Since the actor drank and used drugs for a while, it must be hard for Lola and Sami to realize the pain that their dad experienced.
Charlie Sheen hasn't had a drink in six years at the time of this writing, and it turns out that when taking care of one of his daughters, he realized that he had to live a healthier lifestyle.

According to People, Sheen explained that he had to ask a friend to drive him and his daughter to an appointment. He said:
"We got her there on time, but it broke my heart because she was in the backseat and I could just tell she was thinking, 'Why isn't dad driving?'"
Do Charlie Sheen And His Daughter Cassandra Estevez Get Along?
While Charlie Sheen's daughters Sami and Lola Sheen have become public figures in their own right, his daughter Cassandra Estevez is more private. It's unclear what Charlie and Cassandra Estevez's relationship is like today. In the past few years, neither has commented publicly on whether they are close. However, since Charlie Sheen was there for his daughter during two big moments in her life, that suggests that they get along well.
In September 2010, People reported that Charlie was there when Cassandra Estevez and Casey Huffman got married. Since he walked his daughter down the aisle, they got along well enough for him to fulfill that traditional role.
What Are Some Of Charlie Sheen's Most Well-Known Movie And TV Roles?
- Charlie Sheen in Being John Malkovich (1999)
- Tom Logan In Scary Movie 3 (2003) and Scary Movie 4 (2006)
- Charlie Crawford in Spin City (2002-2002)

A few years later, in 2013, Charlie Sheen shared that Cassandra was pregnant on The Late Show with David Letterman. Since he was happy about the news and looking forward to being a grandfather, that suggests that he was going to be in the child's life. According to The Daily Mail, Charlie said, "Me as a grandfather, Dave... I don't know. It's like the world's going to crack in half... It's fabulous. It's just not a title I'm ready to adopt."
Their father and daughter relationship hasn't been without complications, though. According to Today.com, in 2015, Charlie Sheen said that Cassandra Estevez "was a rock star" when he let her know that he was HIV positive. That isn't a conversation that any parent wants to have with their child.
The actor said:
"I told my oldest daughter Cassandra the other night, and I felt bad, it hit her hard. But she recovered, and she’s tough like her dad."
