‘Wild Things' star Denise Richards admits she's not friends with ex Charlie Sheen, there's ‘no co-parenting'
Denise Richards is opening up about the highs and lows of raising children with an ex.
During a recent appearance on the "Whine Down with Jana Kramer" podcast, the 54-year-old star discussed what it was like raising her two daughters with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, admitting on the show that their relationship could be better.
"Truthfully, it wasn't co-parenting. I parent my way. He parents his way, and there was no co-parenting," she said. "I have kids with him, and I'm not really — I'm friendly with Charlie, but I wish we were friends and that we could talk all the time and be able to be there really for each other with our girls. But that's just not the relationship we have. Maybe one day. But, I mean, right now, there's nothing. There's no discord between he and I, which is great."
The former couple tied the knot in 2002 and were married for just under three years before Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, when she was pregnant with their second daughter, Lola. They welcomed their first daughter, Sami, one year prior.
Following their divorce, Sheen went on to marry Brooke Mueller from 2008 to 2011, welcoming twin sons, Bob and Max, with her in March 2009. Despite no longer being married to Sheen, Richards made it a priority to make sure her daughters had a relationship with their dad and siblings.
"I was always an advocate of wanting everything to be great and be friends and blend the family because he had two boys with his wife after me," she continued. "I just didn't want the girls to feel like they had to choose sides."
She went on to say she always made the effort to invite Sheen to their daughters' birthday parties and family holiday celebrations, explaining she "thinks it's good for the kids to see that too."
Although their marriage did not work out, she said she "never talked bad about" Sheen when her children were around but says "now that they're older, they're discovering things" from the past on their own.
Richards and her family have recently put their lives on display in the new reality show, "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things." Sheen appeared on an April 1 episode of the show, when he sat down to dinner with Richards and their daughter Lola, during which she shared her fears about becoming a public figure.
"I'm scared of being famous. I'm scared of what people have to say," Lola told her parents.
"Don't read anything," Sheen said. "Don't read anything about it. Because if you don't read it, it doesn't exist."
"Denise Richards & Her Wild Things" airs Tuesday nights on Bravo.

‘RHOM's Alexia Nepola & Marysol Patton On Tuning Out Opinions From Viewers & Why Filming Break Helped Some Of The Ladies In The Friend Group
Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton are back on Bravo as The Real Housewives of Miami return to television. The reality series took an extended break between seasons to break from the yearly filming schedule and see the ladies during another phase of their lives. More from Deadline 'The Real Housewives Of Miami' Season 7 Cast Photos, Trailer & Premiere Date Set At Bravo Bravo's 'The Real Housewives': Every Single Cast Photo In Franchise History Brynn Whitfield Not Returning To 'Real Housewives Of New York City' After 2 Seasons As She Opts To "Walk Away From Reality TV" Season 7 of RHOM picks up after Nepola announces her separation from her husband Todd, with all the girls coming together to support her. Ahead of the season premiere, Deadline talked to Nepola and Patton about what viewers can expect in the new season and how it was returning to film after the extended break. 'I should actually have a body cam on myself [to] document everything in my life. I should really be filming all year round, but thank God I'm not, because… sometimes you do need a little break,' Nepola said. 'It makes sense because sometimes you do need to give some of the ladies in the friend group some months off to develop and have more things going on and whatnot.' Patton says that she wished 'every day' she had a camera on herself and Nepola when cameras were down, but ultimately noted that the extended break helped, saying, 'to have story lines [for] real things. Because the minute you jump into things too quickly, you don't have enough time to have new things going on in your life. Look what happened with Julia – we had a break and she adopted two children. It was [also] big changes in Alexia's life and changes in the friend group as well. Some people got closer, some people you would have expected to be close forever are no longer close. Time does a lot of miracles.' Alexia Nepola on tuning out opinions from viewers The premiere episode of RHOM shows the cast coming together to support Nepola as she announces her separation from her husband. However, things are much different now as Nepola and her husband have patched things up and worked things out. 'It's hard,' Nepola said of watching the episode showcasing a contrasting part of her life. 'But with that being said, I look back and that's the beauty of life, right? How I was going through so much pain and hurt a year ago, and today, I'm filled with hope, and I'm happy and I'm in a much better place.' She continued, 'I'm in a good place right now. But, if I wasn't, maybe the story would be different. As far as my relationship goes, like any other relationship, there's ebbs and flows, and highs and lows. It was very emotional for me.' Nepola is one of the few housewives who lives authentically in front of the cameras and doesn't make life choices based on how viewers might perceive her and says, 'I tune out.' 'I don't feel or think about the consequences, but it's kind of too late because you're in the moment and you're feeling it, and you're doing it,' Nepola adds. 'I've never done anything for camera. Maybe I should do less. Maybe that's my problem, that I say too much and I do too much, but that's how I am in my real life. The camera just documents it.' Why cast is different from the others The Real Housewives are known to have fiery conversations, but the Miami ladies keep it light and fun, and never seemingly go to a place where they can't come back from. 'I think for the most part, people can be shady, but they're not too nasty, except for one person. We've only got one person with a nasty problem. Other than that, that's a good quota for nine women. Just saying,' Patton says. Nepola adds, 'I feel like we're too nice. I feel like our friend group that we're too nice. I don't really watch any other Housewife show, but I watch clips, and I'm very friendly with many of the other women on the other shows, and I feel like they really go at each other.' Patton notes that she thinks the RHOM cast is different 'because we're all actually friends,' adding, 'When you're not friends with people, you don't care how you treat them, and a lot of these shows are cast with strangers just to fill a spot, and they're not really friends. We're all really friends.' 'And that's why it works for us, you can't lie to the camera,' Nepola says. 'You can really see that we're all friends, and we have so much history and we fight like sisters and we love like sisters, so I think that that's what the audience really loves about our show.' Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton's take on the feud between Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein The premiere episode of RHOM Season 7 sees a fallout between Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein, which ends with Hochstein kicking Pippen out of her home. 'I'm very friendly with both of them, and I love and care for both of them. So as your friends, it was very hard to watch,' Nepola said about the feud. Patton adds, 'Eventually, we removed ourselves. We were like, 'You guys, have to figure it out. We can't do anymore. I don't want to hear you complain. I don't want to hear you complain. You two need to complain to each other and figure it out.'' If faced with a similar situation about being kicked out of someone's home, Patton says, 'Yo me muero.' ('I would die.') 'Yo me voy,' Nepola adds, saying she would have left. 'It was horrible. I was mortified. I felt terrible for Larsa because she was very upset about it and she was very sad. I mean, just the fact that she went, maybe I wouldn't have even gone to Lisa's house because they were already feeling a certain kind of way about each other. I knew that by seeing each other at some point during the night, that was going to happen.' Patton says she wouldn't have kicked anyone out of her home and says she has even had fellow co-star Adriana de Moura at her place, despite them not being friendly. 'I have had Adriana in my home over three times and handed her gifts, and I've never thought in a moment, how much I don't want you here, that I would actually throw you out of my house, because I would never throw anyone out,' she says. and the cast trips No one does it like The Real Housewives of Miami, and Nepola and Patton teased the trips the cast will be taking in Season 7. Patton teases that the cast trip to Sevilla in Spain was in honor of Alexia, adding, 'Alexia grew up in Spain in her teen years. She was in high school there and she loves it. It was beautiful.' 'It was our best trip. I feel like when we go on trips, you can't even invent the the shit [that] goes down. I don't know what it is, but the energy is different. Everyone's on 10,' Nepola says. 'You'll get to see laughter and you'll get to see tears. You get to see both, which is what makes us human and makes us real, and it makes us relatable because we're going through shit and you can see it, but we also have a lot of fun, and it's just beautiful. Sevilla is a beautiful setting.' Nepola also notes that the cast also goes on a cruise, which was thanks to Patton, who said, 'I might be friends with Richard Branson, so we go on this cruise, and it was great. We had a lot of fun.'

'It's incredible Heidi being back makes it so fun and amazing,' Christian continued. 'Her and Law don't like the same things, and Nina doesn't like the same things.'
