Denise Richards The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills before her departure last year. Aaron was tossed into the mess when Brandi Glanville shared claims of him and Denise having an open marriage, among other shocking allegations. However, many fans can the days when Denise entertained a tumultuous marriage with actor Charlie Sheen. Here's a look back at their history together.
Before ing the reality TV scene, Denise built a name for herself as an actress and was also recognized as the other half of Two And A Half Men star Charlie Sheen. The two actors were married for three years before parting ways in 2005. They first met in 2000 while filming the movie Good Advice. But romantic sparks wouldn't fly between them until Denise guest-starred on an episode of Spin City the following year. By June 2002, Denise and Charlie made things official and exchanged their vows. “I fell in love with who he was when I met him," Denise shared.
One year after tying the knot, the pair acted alongside each other in Scary Movie 3. They welcomed their first daughter together, Sam, in March 2004. The two were happily in love at the time, with Denise guest-starring as Charlie's ex in a few episodes of Two And A Half Men. However, Denise filed for divorce the following year while she was six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola. "We are deeply saddened by the recent events and out of our love and concern for our daughter Sam, our unborn child and each other, we ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time,” their statement released to People read. They welcomed their daughter over the summer, which helped them to briefly reconcile.
However, by 2006, Denise moved forward with the divorce filing and accused the Hot Shot star of having an unhealthy addiction to prescription medication that spawned violent mood swings and compulsive gambling. She also accused him of using pornography, as well as threatening to kill her. Charlie attempted to brush the claims off as "baseless" and "vile." Six years later, the former couple was in a happy place and fueled reconciliation rumors after they were seen on a family vacation with their daughters. But Denise spoke with Huffington Post and said they had "become like brother and sister," adding they were "very good friends.”
Three years later, they were on the outs again after Charlie went on a Twitter rant and accused Denise of being the “worst mom alive,” among other harsh words. That same year, the troubled star revealed he was HIV positive. In 2016, Denise sued Charlie for allegedly abandoning a trust they created for their daughters. She also accused him of talking badly about her to their girls. Over the last few years, the two have continued a rocky co-parenting relationship. But things appeared to be all good in May of last year when she revealed that she and Aaron had just seen Charlie "the other day." The actor also defended Denise against the claims that Brandi threw her way. She opted to remove herself from the franchise, but the moment will go down in Housewives history.
